panic!attheFUCKINGdisco.

The Panic! At the Disco concert:
One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
[I've only been to three, so I guess that's not saying much.]

Alicia and Denielle showed up at my house. I was of course on the computer, listening to The Hush Sound.
We went off to pick up Kiana.

AND OFF WE GO TO THE CONCERT!
We first listened to Blink-182 and screamed the lyrics halfway there.
The other half, we listened to Panic! At the Disco. Of course. We knew those songs just as well, if not better.

We debated how we should sneak Alicia's camera in.
Kiana wouldn't but it in her bra.
It was a little too obvious in Alicia's shirt.
So we put it in my pants.

SO WE GET OUT OF THE CAR
[Mrs. Benavente of course, graciously dropped us off]
and I have the camera in my pants. Highly uncomfortable.
Don't try it at home, kids.

We get inside. Succsessfully fooling the guards.
I bought a shirt that says 'The Hush Sound will eat you'. It has a crocodile [aligator] on it and it's yellow. I also bought The Hush Sound's CDs. Pretty amazing stuff.

We went to the main stage area thing. Pushed as far we could get.
Denielle, Kiana, Alicia&I stood. And waited.
We were on the far left of the stage, near the front. Leaning on the speakers.
&THE HUSH SOUND CAME ON!

My second time seeing The Hush Sound live.
Just as every bit as amazing as the first time, if not more.
They sounded a bit better though, I think they got better equipent.
But they played all my favorite songs.
Really, it was amazing to see them live. Again.
It brought back so many memories.
Greta is amazing with a keyboard. She makes me want to take up piano again.
Chris was right in front of me. He gives off this sweet stage presence. I like it.
Darren was in the back, doing his thing. Bang bang bang.
Bob...something about his lyrics that strike me so hard. It just makes me stop and listen.
I love how The Hush Sound has a classic piano in their band with the edgy guitar.

Brendon came out to sing Patrick Stump's part in 'Don't Wake Me Up'.
Wow.

Long
Long
Wait.

THE DRESDEN DOLLS!
Honestly, they were okay.
But I don't really listen to them.
Their songs were amusing. To a certain extent.

Another
Long
Long
Long
Long
Wait.

Those dudes tested all the equipment and stuff.
[One of them was pretty.]
One guy went over to a microphone and said,
'Testing,testingRYANROSStesting.'
Made all the girls scream, of course.

Long
Long
LONG
Wait.

PANIC! AT THE [fucking] DISCOOOOOO!
Opened up with 'The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage'.
And it was breath-taking [i need another synonym for amazing] from then on.
I was right in front of Ryan.
He looked at me four times.
Pwuahah.
Alicia was taking pictures like crazy.
Occasionally hiding the camera from the guards.
Ryan even looked at the camera for one. Hah.


Brendon has an incredible voice. He's really talented with the piano too. I can't even talk and play piano at the same time and he manages to sing. He's really funny too. He whispered things in Ryan's ear. It made him smile.


Ryan Ross...his lyrics. Really. I am amazed. He has extraordinary writing skills. He's brilliant. An excellent guitar player. And he managed not to sweat much while wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a [flowered] vest.
While Brendon nearly drowned in his sweat.
Weird.
How does Ryan Ross do it...Brilliant. Pure brilliance.
Ryan kinda seemed...shy and reserved. And tired. He only seemed truly happy when Brendon whispered things in his ear and the guitar 'battle' with Jon. And that part in 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies'.


Jon was thrashing around on his bass. He came over to Ryan's side of the stage to 'battle' with him during the guitar solo part in 'I Constantly Thank God for Esteban'. [It's somewhere on Youtube.] He reminded me a bit of Joe, from Fall Out Boy. He gives out this energy on stage that says, 'I'm having way too much fun to stop. Don't come near me or else you'll most likely get hit.'


Spencer was bang bang banging his drums. I couldn't see him much, Ryan was in the way, but he looked really focused and...determined? No er...I don't know. But how he manages to keep up, I don't know.

High Points
There was an intermission. The Luccient Dossier [I did not spell that right, I can feel it.] gave out random facts about the boys. I was basically adreneline high, I didn't remember much. Apparently though, Brendon is a virgin. Hmm.

Towards the end of the show, Brendon threw water bottles at the audience. Someone threw one back at Brendon and nearly hit him. Brendon gave him a mad look and chucked it back at him. Fairly cute. :)

In 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies', where Brendon first sings, 'Agaaaaaain' , he went over to Ryan and grabbed his head and looked into his eyes. It looked like they were going to make-out, but instead Ryan went up to the middle of the stage with Brendon and played his guitar. For lack of a better word. It was pretty hot, I have to admit.

Ryan looking at me four times. Brendon glancing at me in passing of looking at Ryan. Wow.

Ryan saying, 'Crash' with Brendon in 'Build God, Then We'll Talk'.

Leaning against the speakers, just looking up at Ryan in amazement and wondering how does he come up with his lyrics-and to have him look up at me.

'Build God, Then We'll Talk' was their last song.
Do you know what I love about Panic! At the Disco?
They just seem like the-band-next-door. The band who practices at 2:00 in the afternoon everyday. Just doing what the love to do. And they just stumbled across fame.
I'd love to talk to Ryan Ross about his lyrics.

I'M NOT DONE YET!

Denielle, Kiana, Alicia&I went over to the merch tables things. To meet The Hush Sound.
I met Darren first. He's super nice. He signed my CDs. He actually was trying to open 'Like Vines' and ended up breaking it. But he signed the CD anyways and passed it down so Bob, Greta, and Chris could sign it too. [Bob signed it twice.] :D
I told him I was at the show with FOB. He said 'Cool.' I got a picture with him. :)
I went over to the side where Greta was. I ended up being nearly pushed into her. I backed away and said sorry. And then I ran. xP

After that, I bought a bottle of water and sat against the wall only to be kicked out by guards. Kiana, Denielle, Alicia&I went outside and looked for Panic! At the Disco. Lo and behold, Jon and Spencer were by the tour bus taking pictures.
We waited for a while, and we got a picture with Jon. We were the last ones to get a picture. :) He was extremely nice and took another picture when the first one messed up. Spencer had to leave before we got to meet him. >.<
We also met the keyboard player for Panic!. I liked his pants. I told him so. He said 'Really?! Thanks!'. We got a picture with him too.

We went back to the front to wait for Kiana's mom, when we saw The Hush Sound!
We talked to Greta, [Who I was fully convinced that she hated me] who was really nice. She has a really cool sense of style. She signed my pants. Along with everybody else in The Hush Sound.

We wanted a picture with Chris. Except nobody could take it. So Darren took it for us. :)
[Chris is awful in fan pictures. Just for the record.]
We were going to take a picture with everyone in the band, but we had to leave.
We yelled, 'BYE THE HUSH SOUND!'

It was great fun.

&then everybody crashed at my house where we ate mac n cheese and listened to Panic! while reviewing the concert.

The End.
