So last night was the All Time Low concert in Birmingham, and I do have to admit it sure was a night where we were pretty much going through the motions. There were some surrealism and epic music causing to lack of voice the following day, mixed in with alcohol and kissing and some killer dance moves. No tears did appear that I’m aware of, but I don’t think it was that far off. So yeah, it was kinda a weird night.
The surrealism part of it started once we found our way in to the O2 Academy, Sarah meeting two blokes from this band she likes, Twenty Twenty, and me and Ida were pretty much just standing there, clearly not really knowing who they were. This was not the surreal part, it has yet to begin. After Sarah got her picture with the two, I noticed Mr. Danny Hall standing by the bar. *Danny Hall was a member of the band Son Of Dork, and has now a new band called Hill Valley High, check them out on Myspace. Sarah spazzed a bit, and we made our over to the bar, me just randomly standing next to him, obviously just to get something to drink. Ehm. Once he got his beer, he turned around, and I was sure he was just going to walk off, cause I wasn’t gonna be a teenie chatting to him. But, we did have Sarah there, so he wasn’t getting away anytime soon. This is where the surreal starts. She asked for a picture, he actually seemed surprised that we had recognized him. “How did you recognize me?” He laughed and my dear Sarah just pointed at me, saying “She did”, I felt a bit teenie then afterall. But tbf I kept it cool, even drinking from beer when Sarah got her picture with him, and well, I had to get one as well. I mean, I was the one who noticed him in the first place.
This is when you think he’d bugger off and go enjoy the concert with his mates and stuff, but no. Actually, he hung around pretty much throughout the concert, only walking a bit back and forth now and then. He was totally chatting me up. I don’t mean to brag, but how cool is that? Lol, ok might be bragging a bit. I mean, when he says “Can I please have sex with you tonight?”, I sure can say he fancied me? Was real fun hanging out with him and drinking, that’s for sure. And if things were any different, I’m sure I’d be in a bush with him without even blinking.
Before ATL came on stage, Alex joined one of the support acts on stage for a bit, caused loads of screams that did, then after doing that he walked straight past us, and then again when walking back backstage. He was dragged through the mass by security tho, so we couldn’t really talk to him. One of the guys around him turned out to be Rian tho, and not a security guy, even tho some might have thought that.
All Time Low onstage was epic. Nothing more, nothing less. We already knew the set list, so didn’t expect many surprises, so when they started Coffee shop Soundtrack I proper freaked out, they weren’t suppose to do that one, and that’s my fave song!! Loved it. Then right after they played Let it Roll, which is Ida’s fave and that one wasn’t on the set list either, brilliant. They were amazing up there, and me, Sarah and Ida were all a proper sweaty mess after the gig. I mean, you kinda have to dance!
The club after the gig, Propaganda just wasn’t Cheekeys, so hell we took the train back to our beloved Wolverhampton and the Civic Hall, Friday and Cheekeys are where the party’s at. Emotional roller coaster.
Me and Ida are now sat by our dining table, surfing the lovely internet from Sky, finally got it (!), stomach making sounds and my voice is gone.
Breathe.
