ok this is gonnna be a long blog here im warning u cuz it is about my day at warped tour yesterday so here we go...
I woke up at seven am to get ready i was at the gates an hour and a hlef early and there was already a bunch of ppl there, then Den and Erin met up with me and Thomas
We got in and headed for the modlife bus cuz i thought thats were the merch would be for AVA, but it wasnt, but it was whgere the meet and greet would be for modlife members noone was there so we left for the time being, we found the AVA tent and bopught some shirts,, its an amazing shirt too, then i eaded to the Say Anthing tent and bought a This Is F***ing ecstasy shirt, pink writing lol
so then we were thirsty being outside for that long already and so we heading to a monster bus they had an area to have so monsters so we went in and grabed some money but they were FREE!, but u couldnt leave with them cuz they wanted to keep the cans in that area to keep things clean
so then we saw relient K on the Vans Highway 1 main stage right, and im not a fan of them but they were really goood it makes me think about buying some of their stuff, after that a band was performing on main stage left so i just stayed at the main stage right
All That Remains came on after teh band on main stage left finished and they were pretty good im not reallly into the screaming stuff tho, when they were done their bassist threw some pics at the crowd and i caught one my friend was pissed cuz he actually liked them lol
after that we went to the modlife bus again and talked to the guy there and he said he would get us to meet AVA no matter what so we talked to him for some tiem then walked around and shit listening to some more bands and what not
we later saw another band that my friend liked but i dindt really like them at allbut me after the band on the alternate stage was done i got to see Say Anything perform and they were awesome i loved it, right after we finished there it was about 4 so we headed to the modlife bus again cuz the wrist bands would start coming at 5 to meet AVA at 6 so i wasnt talking any chances
we met another modlife rep and tyakled to him for a long time he was awesome he also said he would make sure i got in and well by extension all my friends that were with me
so they called al the modlife members and ID'd them and they got wrist bands then they let the other ppl get wrist bands and we were all waiting in one line
i saw a couple guys from Say Anthing so i got them to sign my Say Anything shirt and shook their hands and then went back to the line after thanking them of course
then they guy that i had been talking to for the last little while was making a lin e for modlife members only so he asked who was modlife and and they went to the other line then he just picked me and my friends to go to the modlife line none of my friends noticed htis but i did cuz i was so anxious
so then they started to ID the modlife line again to make sure they were in modlife and they guy who got me over there told the other guy these guys are good i was like YAY!!! U AREE FUCKING AWESOME!
so we waiting for AVA what seemed to be an eternity then they showed up and they were coming out way so i gave them all high fives and i was like im about to get auto graphs and meet them my heart was alreay pounding and now it was like i coluld have a fucking heart attack Thomas Matthew DeLonge is my hero!
so they ID'd the modlife line again as they were going to meeet AVA, and once again me and my friends got in :Dso first up was David Kennedy, i said , "David you guys are amnazing im Aaron" then shook his hand and asked him to sign my shirt so he signed it near my right shoulder then i shook his hand again and thanked him, next was Matt Wachter, i did the "hi" pose that he did in the start the machine video and he laughed when he figured it out then i introduced myself after saying his name cuz obviously he doesnt need to introduce himself and shook his hand then i asked him to sign my shirt anywhere and he signed right under David and shook his hand again and thanked him again then it was on with the next member the amazing drummer Atom Willard
i shook Atoms hand and praised him on how great of a drummer he was and he thanked me i introdued myself and then asked him to sign anywhere on my shirt, he said, " how about on the boob" he laughed a bit so he signed my right boob which was basicallt under David and Matt, i shook his hand again and thanked him once again and moved on wiht the next person Thomas Matthew DeLonge!
i shook Toms hand and introduced myself and thanked him then asked for a hug i had to he was like sure man so we hugged i was soo happpy i told him he was my hero and stuff and he was just thanks man and trying to be modest but u could see he was smiling so much too meeting his fans so i asked him to sign my shirt too anywhere he liked and he signed near my left boob lol and i shook his hand again told him i loved his music and him thanked him again then left that was a hard thing to do
after meeting with my friends agian we went inside we were hungry and thirsty we had some food and drinks i was beeing very cautious to make sure nothing spilled on my AVA shirt That i Had signed by the members and met them in and hugged Tom in
we then headed outside cuz we didnt wanna miss the AVA SHOW so i got as close to the front as possible there was only one person ahead of me there was so much pushing and everything crowd surfing and shit. AVA did an amazing show the set was The War, Everythings Magic, My First Punk Song, Secret Crowds, then an ten minute long version of THE ADVENTURE, it was magical except they pushing but it was bound to happen, so we met up and got out of there we were burnt and tired as hell after meeting Tom, we left and they were back stage so i had to yell at them about how awesome they were and thanks them and tell them i loved them lol
also my friend caught the pick that Tom used i had to have it so i traded an All That Remains pick for it and my other friend caught the gatorade that Tom was Drinking on Stage and when i got near his house he asked if i wanted and and i was like YA! so i walked out of there with alot of memories
we left with smiles on our faces and all was good
best day of my life :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
