Alkaline Trio concert review

This is going to take forever.

ok so i left at Five o'clock to go see my favorite band, alkaline trio, for the fourth time <3 with garrett.

Ian was being a super huge douche bag so he couldnt go. oh well i had a way better time with Garrett anyways and Ian would of cried the whole night. and im not shit talking, im saying what is happening.

ANYWAYS
so we were going to make the turn into The Grove when I saw this guy in the car in front of me moving around and dancing so i was like what the hell??
later on of course i realized that it was Garretts step dad trying to show me that they are one car in front of me. I was to busy to notice since i was looking at all of their cool stickers on the back of their van.
My mom would freak out if i put a sticker on mine, but whatever. So i thought that was funny and garrett in the car was like what the hell is my step dadda doing.
& we turned into it and My mum and his step dad talked for like 30 mins about inventions or what have you, while we walked to wait in line. I bought skittles for us to feast on while waiting, and I found a mini maraca on my bedroom floor from a party I attended about 2 weeks ago. it was small and didnt make much noise, so i thought to myself what the hell, why not bring it to the show.
So garrett and I eventually ended up breaking it open, finding white clumps in it. I thought it was funny cause i screamed ITS COCAINE!!! lets eat it! i ate one and garrett fooled me saying he would eat it too but he just pretended to. oh well it didnt taste like anything and im still here so whatever life goes on right?

while we got closer, garrett eventually ate both of the packets of skittles. And ill tell you right now, skittles are my favorite candy. he just shoveled them in. and about 30 of them spilt on the floor. Eh. It was funny though Garrett was like "shelby that dude has a nub, like that song." [ to all of the confused people, there is a song called She's Nubs by NOFX, about a girl with no arms.].. at first i didnt believe him but then i did when i saw his hand was gone, and he was balancing a cup from Mcdonalds on his wrists. Dont try it, I did already, it spilled. He has skillz. So we laughed and signed PETA petitions WOO. FINALLY WE GOT IN. Too bad Garrett didnt bring his camera, i told him i would stick it in my shoe, but he was a pansy and thought the bouncers would eat his brains out or something. its ok, i forgive you.

anyways [again] We got in, and heard NOFX while we walked in, haha i dont know why i put that in but i liked that song so shut up. I ran over to the merch table and bought my 7th alkaline trio shirt. woo.
Garrett bought the same one. now we have two of the same shirts. yay.

THEN we went in line and messed around and stuff until we got thirsty and i got free water.Actually water is always free basically. Its just the 3.00 you spend on the bottle of plastic, which is lame btw. So we got water and headed back to go see The Draft. They reminded me alot of Hot Water Music, and that defentently isn't a bad thing. I actually decided i would throw my extra ice up on stage. It had nothing to do with if the band sucked, because they didnt, i just felt like doing it. Then garrett spilled the ice on the floor and i slid around on it. So blah blah me and garrett fucked around more while they pplayed. I think garrett gets dehydrated easily because he couldnt stop drinking water.oh well. Then he said his back hurt so we went 3 floors up for him to lie down. G wanted to watch from the screens. i was like hell no i came to SEE THEM not on a screen. Then G called 1800-HOT-LIPS on my phone, well almost did. gross, phone sex. So then we lied on the floor for like 10 mins just fucking around........and uhhhh then the lawrence arms came on and we went back down. They had the coolest shirts on. the bass player had a shirt on that said HE LOVES THE COCK and it was pointing to the guitarist, and the guitarist had one on too, but the arrow was pointing at the bassist. While they were playing garrett showed me something really funny. To the side of me, there was this couple, the guy dressed as an adult Boy Scout, and his girlfriend, rocking out.But she had like NO BRA ON so when she moved her boobs would jiggle like hell and i couldnt stop laughing. She kept on jumping up and down which made it even funnier. When The Lawrence Arms stopped, I pushed through the crowd and grabbed G. We ended right in front of the boy scout and the big boobed lady. Haha, that sounds like a movie.
Anyways, So i was standing there waiting for alk3 to go on, AND THE BIG BOOBED LADY GRABBED MY SIDE AND LIKE CLUTCHED IT FOR LIKE A MINUTE. i was thinking wtf? hello? what are you doing to me!! but she let go. Finally, Alkaline Trio came on.

Before the show, I warned garrett that Alkaline Trio fans PUSH LIKE NO END. of course, like I always am, I was so right. We immediatly were pushed into positions that we couldnt move because of all the ssqueezing. I kept on having to mouth "are you okay do you want to move" to garrett because he looked like he wanted to barf. I eventually couldnt take it so we moved. sort of. WE MOVED INTO THE EFFING MOSH PIT. so i was worse. Everyone kept pushing me, thank god im a girl and small i kept on grabbing older dudes and saying "i need to get out please help me". That didnt help. all the dude did was push me MORE into the mosh, knocking me and garrett on the floor. Someone stepped on my stomach and i was scared as hell that was going to die. I was scared what happend to garrett. I was lifted up by some nice people and i grabbed garrett's hand and got enough strength to push through into better ground. thank god. after we got up there, I cooled down, and garrett looked really sick. I kept on asking him if he was okay, but he didnt respond so i got kinda worried. But i sang to every song nevertheless. They played the whole cd of God Dammit, and then moved into some acoustic songs. I sang every single song but garrett didnt know many. they also played some of crimson, and then moved back into old stuff.
They finally played Radio. thats when we moved back down. Oh yeah, i also saw my friend Armando there. it was probably one of the greatest days ever. We shuffled out and waited where we got our water and merch again... because i didnt want to go outside just yet. I got some more from the bar, but this time it was so different. It was like foggy and white and cloudy and gross, but i drank it and it tasted fine. but it probably had led in it. I asked G to hold it for a second and i was like counting my moneh or something and he told me to look at it. It was clear again. It was like a magic trick....IT WAS CRAAZY. anyways, so we finally had to go out, we said our goodbyes, which were kinda short but whatever, and i got into the car and listened to alk3 all the way home.
THE END
