They were amazing, even though we were a few minutes late, they were still awesome. NO DUH! Hehe! Up next was the girl group who I have nicknamed the "One Song Wonder GIrls". What was the point of having them on tour? They seriously sang only ONE song! Pretty pointless if you ask me. After that disaster was Jordin Sparks. She killed it. Amazing as the last time I saw her with Jesse McCartney. But I only have one problem. There was so much screaming before Jordin hit the stage, that I had suffer a little hearing loss and it sounded like she was up a vocal levels. But that was the fans fault, not her. And last but not least, those 3 gorgeous boys from Jersey.
Their idea for a 360ยบ stage was a pretty cool idea since it was the first time I had ever seen it live. I think the guys definitely gave us our money worth. Oh yeah, during the concert, my dad had purchase for my sister, Adri and me a pre-order of Honor Society's Fashionably Late CD that should be in our mail box this coming Tuesday! But by pre-ordering Honor's CD gave us the chance to meet the guys!
Omg, they are so gorgeous in person! I'm so thankful that my daddy pre-ordered those CDs for us! I just wish I had been able to have gotten a picture with anyone of those guys or Kat or Janice. =(
A few days later on July 21st, my friend Krissy and I went down to the Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA for Warped Tour 2009. This was my very first Warped Tour concert, so I didn't prepare well for it. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time Krissy and I were there. But we made the best we could. We watched a few bands, walked around a bunch. My first mission was to get a "Dreamer" bracelet for the designer Jac Vanek. I am in love with her bracelets and since she collaborated with Push Play to create "Dreamer" and it was glow in the dark, I had to get it! I wish I had more money on me because I would have loved to have gotten a "Slytherin" bracelet. Oh well. I had a bunch of bands I wanted to see but they didn't come on until after 5pm so I didn't get to see them. Luckily there was one band I did get to see their full set. Jet Lag Gemini's.
They killed it again! Such an amazing band! After JLG was done, we called it quits. Krissy and I were so soaking wet, freezing cold and tired that we decided to leave. Hopefully next year, the weather will be better! I used my Warped Tour experience in a speech I had to give for my Oral Communications class. I received a B+. I could have gotten a better grade if I had only had a handout for the class. I should have printed the entire list of bands who performed. Oh well. I was happy with my presentation.
Three days later we went to Boston for the Dew Tour. I tried going with my friend Laura, remember I told you about her at the What is Love tour, same Laura. But unfortunately her parents wouldn't let her go. =( We went down on Friday, July 24th. It was a two day program. We thought we were going down on the cheaper day and could see everyone (we mainly wanted to see Ryan Sheckler) but of course, we were the wrong day. Ryan was too go for us and couldn't show his face. But that's okay, I found my skater anyway! He goes by the name of Alex Perelson.
=P Soooo good for 18! Can't wait to see where his skate career takes him!
My friend Emily's baby shower was on August 2nd!
Atlas Protectinics had their 20th Annual Fireworks Display on August 15th!
My mom, sister & I went to Albany, NY for two days!
There was this mall and there was this store that had canvases for sale!
I can't believe I went over a month without a concert!
On August 25th, we tried seeing Forever the Sickest Kids at the Rockingham Park Mall but we didn't make it in time. Although I did get a bunch of pictures of them and I was only a few feet away from them.
I just didn't want to stand in that long ass line! So we decided to watch the BMX riders instead.
They were wicked cool! And I got to meet them! Their line wasn't hella long like FTSK was.
Remember my friend Emily, she had her baby son Jacoby William on September 5th!
This is the last concert I will include in Summer 2009. For a year now, I've been dying to see Push Play. I've tried and failed at least 5 times. Either someone was sick, there was weather issues or I had class. I found out that they were going to be at Six Flags New England in Awagam, Mass on September 7th. So I HAD to go! Nobody was sick, no snow and it was a holiday. We didn't take off until sometime after noon and it was about an hour and half to almost 2 hours drive. Once we got to the park, we were starving. After put food in our bellies, my dad and sister headed to the new "Bizzaro" ride when I went to go stand in line for the concert. I stood for about 20 minutes or so before we were let it. I had been before a few years back, but we didn't stay for the concert because it was raining a lot and it was only Uncle Cracker. But the 7th it was such a beautiful day out. Once we got in there, I was so tired and needed to take my meds, so I went to get water. I had just gotten my wisdom teeth taken out 5 days before. Crazy right? If you know how bad I wanted to see Push, you'd understand. lol. It was an hour before the concert started so I decided to sit on the lawn. I didn't really want to stand in the crowd of teenie boppers since I was by myself. But once Push Play took the stage, I made my way to the crowd to take pics & vids.
Let me tell you, it was so hard to hold that camera still while taking pictures when you're holding a bunch of shit. Camera bag, water bottle (that I stuck in my pants pocket), a poster and some dumb fan. So I apologize of how shitty those videos came out. But OMPP (Oh My Push Play) they were amazing!
Killing that stage! Once they were done I went back to where I was sitting to wait for Hey Monday. While I was standing there before Push took the stage, CJ Baran (lead singer of Push Play) came out to high five everyone. I tried calling my sister like a billion times to come to where I was, but of course she couldn't hear her cell. Oh yeah, I saw Mandy Van Duyne and CJ's two little sisters Elisha & Dani. If I wasn't looking so disgusting that day, I would have gotten another picture with Mandy. FInally I had gotten ahold of my sister. Her and my dad made their way over to where I was. They were deep in that crowd but were kinda glad to get out. Hey Monday took they stage and I went over to the crowd since I could leave the stuff with my dad and sister. They were amazing just like Push Play! Once Hey Monday was done, we heard screaming and CJ came back out to sign autographs.
He had made it down the first row of girls and started heading towards our way. But the stupid security guards escorted him away just when he was like 20 girls away from us! Way to rain on my amazing day, stupid security! Hey Monday was amazing! I wish I could have kickass hair like Cassadee Pope!
Then OMFG, that dumb Justin Bieber took the stage (after what almost an hour after Hey Monday's set was stripped down). What a diva! The whole place flipped the eff out. Girls were screaming bloody murder behind me. (This is when the lovely story happened.) I turned around to look at the girls and I said under my breathe "OMG" like omg why do you have to scream so ridiculously?? And some dumb mother said to me "Don't you expect screaming at a concert?" Well, uhhh yes, but not to the point were those girls are going to damage the lungs/voice chords & others ear drums. Seriously there was absolutely no reason those girls should have been screaming like that. I was in no mood to start fighting with those God awful woman, I turned around and later walked away. I wanted to soooo badly to stand in front of the camcorder she had, but I was a good girl and didn't. Pitbull was after Justin, but we didn't stay for him. When we finally left the park around 8:30pm, went to stand for the shuttle, there was some girls screaming and immediately knew it HAD to be that dumb Justin Bieber. I'm guessing it was him in the black limo. Once we got into the lines, my sister and I over heard the security guards tell each other "Justin just pulled 3 girls into his limo and took off with them". See, no way in hell would I do that. These only 2 bands that I trust to even get into a limo with. You have no idea where in the hell Justin is going or what is going to happen to you and how you're going to get home. And umm, where were Justin's parents when this all happened because I bet they weren't in the limo. I bet they wouldn't have let him do that. Such bad parenting. I still can't believe that I finally saw Push Play live and I almost met CJ Baran.
