Okay. Yeah. I am SO amped right now that I could go off and die in a corner.
We got to Grand Rapids later than we thought....and Theory and Jake, did you guys have a hard time finding the fucking Orbit Room? Oh. I was SO pissed because we passed it. A. BAJILLION. TIMES. But it was set into that fucking mall-area without a proper sign, so the three of us kept on thinking, "Oh. It can't be in the mall...right?" WRONG. GOD. We did get there before Fall of Troy came on though. Rachel and I headed straight to the pit, and my mom took my drawing of Die with her to the 21+ area so it....wouldn't get ruined.
We were a few spots behind the rail where I knew Die would be. We had WANTED to get there early to get rail in front of Kyo, but that didn't happen. So Rachel and I haven't really ever heard anything by/listened to Fall of Troy before, so we're talking to a few people in front of us and by us, making our single-serving friends because no one has a sharpie to write down AIM or MySpaces or whatever the fuck else. I was talking about how I was sad Kyo didn't bring the bucket....and Rachel was talking about Kyo's penis. I don't know. But we were talking about both at the same time, and i was saying how he fucking flung the bucket at my face in Detroit during Inward Scream....and she goes "HE FLUNG HIS PENIS AT YOU?"......and the tiny girl next to me, who was also by me in Detroit says "I don't mean to butt in, but y'all are fucking hilarious. I think I'd like it if Kyo randomly flung his penis at me...." to which we then got into a discussion about getting KyoAIDS from the penis he hypothetically flung at us................Yeeah.
So, Fall of Troy weren't that bad. They would have been better had I actually heard the guy singing. His mic like....sucked ass ho. Though, the slam dancers started in RIGHT near me. The guy in front of me kinda stepped back so he could protect me and Rachel, and when Deg came on, he and his girlfriend (begrudgingly for her) gave us their spots because they were really only there for Deftones and didn't know Deg. But so we're a united front, all getting bashed in the back with our arms linked, protecting his girlfriend....who finally warmed up to us as she wasn't getting run into. Someone kicked my Achilles, and MAN. That killed. I was way more focused on getting to Dir en grey alive and not being hit hard during Fall of Troy to pay attention to them, though.
So. Waiting for Dir to come on. We get our new spots and are talking to the girls clinging to the rail in front of us with Deg shirts on and the one girl. Has seen them fucking ELEVEN times. God damn. Just, leaving it at that, god damn. I'm telling Rachel how I HOPETOGOD we get G.D.S. since Detroit did (And that they need to LOVE Michigan. Damnit. We are cool and mitten shaped.). Because....I was in the mood to fucking yell "KILL" a lot, okay? And suddenly the girl a few spots over on the rail, Miss Eleven, I'm going to call her just FLIPS out. Like, no. I thought =I= was excited for G.D.S. She screams "OH MY FUCKING GOD G.D.SSSSSSS!!!!!!" So we're going into that....and they....did NOT know how to do it. It's like. Come. On. You've been eleven times and don't know how to scream KILL at the right times? They were seriously making me go "Uhm. Okay. Sure you've been this many times." They started too early the first time. They'd scream kill and then the recording. So the second time the do it right....but...they KEEP ON SCREAMING IT. They finally caught on by the end if it though. Thank God.
And from here is where I remember going batshit. A LOT. I actually fucking blacked out during ASOM (going by theory's list for the beginning songs. Unless they really didn't play that one.::shrug::). I do NOT remember that at all. I was there flailing, but.....I do not remember it, and this scares me. The whole first half of the concert is fuzzy in my mind, though i actually remember screaming along to Grief, Disabled Complexes and Ryoujoku. ASOM still...I dunno what happened in my head there, but the memory is NOT there. Sometime in this though, they decided to crowd surf one guy towards us. People kept fucking dropping him, and both me and Rach got kicked. I got kicked in my tit and she got kicked square out on her cheek, which you can see a bruise forming. Kept getting slam danced into a bit, and I had a grip on the rail so I didn't fall forward on the girl in front of me, who should have worn a belt. Her pants kept falling down a LOT.
During Kyo's acapella, I lost it. I started fucking crying my eyes out and had tears streaming down my face and Rachel did too, she told me later. I was getting annoyed by one guy in my vicinity that said loudly "Okay. play some more fuckin musiccccc." and wanted to punch him in the face and just blame it on "Oooops, so sorry. I decided I want to slam dance now." Because I had lost it, standing there sobbing.
Dead tree. Fuck yes. Dead tree dance. I remember hearing Rachel flipping out in my ear to that. A lot of us just followed Kyo's lead and danced with each other to it.
Saku, I was completely glad to hear. I had been telling my mom I was SO excited to be screaming "Dick men fuck off fuck off and wipe" and she sort of...looked at me funny for that. But that was GREAT fun and Belt Girl....was amusing me. She was SO into it that I was cracking up. Which is good though, because it's just too fun.
When The FINAL started I just fucking grinned, because that was one of the songs Kristi, the friend that went with me to Inward Scream, loved live the most, because she knew most of it. I think this is still one of my favourites hearing live, too.
I definitely enjoyed the rest. Nothing too special about Merciless Cult, other than I was excited as fuck. The only other song I got like, COMPLETELY COMPLETELY batshit on was IIID Empire. I mean, no. I have NEVER gone as fucking batshit insane as I do to this song. I'm pretty sure it has to be my favourite live because of how entirely batshit I go to it, no matter what.
So. Deftones came on, and Rachel and I exited the pit after Miss Eleven was the one to get Die's pick, and in turn, passed out on her friends. we found my mom, who gave my picture of Die to one the Japanese guy who was -filming- Deg and asked him to give it to Die. I'll put a picture of it up or something, because everyone who saw it, even the bartender, apparently, was gushing about it.
I, had to get out of there. The lights and music for Deftones was making me want to vomit...but light and sound do that to me when I'm on a rush like that.
so, I'm hanging out my the merch guys, because the guy selling the I <3 VAGINA shit was amusing me. They didn't have a credit card machine, so I'm stuck to BEGGING someone to buy me a shirt that I can money order pay them for. I sat down by a group of people talking about Deg when suddenly I turn going "Oh my god Shinyaaaa.." because the group passes us and I manage to only see Shinya. They go, to what I thought was backstage.
My mom comes out with Rachel and asks if I'm ready to go and I start babbling on and on how they just passed me and how "they went that way"...on and on.
So my mom. Crazy. I love her to death, but she...is CRAZY. and determined. So she talks to the guard by the door to see where Deg went. And so we go on the balcony for a minute before I start getting nauseous again and go back down. She bugs him and bugs him a little more, and he let us out the door he was guarding. Straight to the busses.
So we're walking out, and see two of the guys from Fall of Troy, Die, and Harry. And I'm sorry, but...hahaha. Harry is amusing to me. He kept talking about how we weren't supposed to be there, and trying to distract us from the fact that Die's right there. Well. Rachel and I were apparently bait, and I get this like, HORRIFIED look on my face, because my eyes are trained on Die's hand. And the fact that he's shaking my mother's hand. Subtle. She waltzed up to them and just goes "Heeeey. Are you Die?" :D like that. With that sick sick smile on her face. I let Rachel continue distracting Harry, because I hear my mom mention my drawing....to which Die got -excited- about, saying he saw it and he liked it a lot.....and so my mom says who I am and he like, grabs my hand quickly and starts thanking me. there I was. Complete and utter shock was setting in, and Harry FINALLY shoes us off, after telling Rachel someone's going to kick his ass if we're seen back there... But he apparently likes Rachel. He told her he would've made Kyo come out to give her an autograph after she told him her story of no being able to come the first time because of emergency surgery the night before it... but Kyo was in the shower.
So I tell Die how completely and utterly awesome tonight was and we all start walking off and THERE was where it really hit me and I started crying again out on the way to the car, with my mom just standing there laughing at me. My insane and awesome mother. Gawd. I'm still in a bit of shock but wide awake. Damn. This is fucking long. I'mma stop rambling now.
AHAHAHAHAAHAAHAAHWN. .....i'm done.
