Saturday

And what a day it was. 
Finally we were going to see You Me At Six again, and on our way there, sitting on the train like we often do, we both agreed that if we didn’t meet any of them, we’d be a bit down about it. But when we came outside the 02 Academy, we kinda started doubting the chances of meeting them, seeing as there were so GOD DAMN MANY PEOPLE THERE!! The queue went pretty much all around the building I swear. And the venue was big. Me and Ida just decided to sit on the other side and wait instead of queueing as we weren’t fussed about getting near the front anyway. It was cold. 

Finally inside and the first thing I do is to spot Matt. So I as discreetly as possible mentioned to Ida, as no one else had seemed to notice him just yet. We got our pictures taken with him, and gave him Norwegian Milk Chocolate.

Yeah, we’d be a nice-looking couple, I’m working on it.

Walking around waiting for the gig to start we met Kayla and SammIE, and they told us about the after party, a golden opportunity to meet the rest of the band. The concert itself was great, somehow we got pushed almost to the front on one of the sides, which I’m not complaining about. Got some great pictures. Then we moved to the other side where I got one kick-ass epic picture of Josh. Check it out on my website. After the concert we got all evacuated for some reason. After waiting outside for ages, freezing, Kayla sweet-talked to some guards and somehow we got gold wristbands and got to go in before the rest of the queue.  How awesome is that?! We saw Matt pretty much everywhere, and I also saw Max once, after that he disappeared. We ignored Dan like we so often do, poor guy I don’t know why, he’s pretty fit! But Kayla wanted to talk to Josh, and well, that was our chance to talk to him as well. So we did, mentioning that we were Norwegian and also went to the Wolves gig last fall, he seemed to remember us saying and I quote “Oh I remember, you went to the after party as well didn’t you?” And yes, we did. He couldn’t remember to say I love Norwegian fans anymore tho.

Then we saw Matt some more, and that merch guy, Henri was it?, who also claimed to remember us. Later real randomly some guy walked over to me and asked me if I liked America, I said yeh, and he asked me where I was from. I said Norway, just to get this reaction; “NO WAY! I’m from Denmark!!” And it turned out that his name was Jonas and he plays in one of the support acts Emarosa, which was pretty cool. So we got a picture taken with him as well. Matt turned up, again, and this time Jonas brought him over to us saying “they’re from Norway!” and Matt went like “NORWAY!” Haha. He said the chocolate was terrific. 

So yeah, it sure was a great night, worth those £30 we paid for the taxi back to Wolves.

Start it up!

I did tell you about our new friend Kevin, the BFF, the wonderful sweetheart he is. I miss him now. I do. But did I tell you that we met him again last night? You see, funny story that is. Kevin has a brother, like so many other people also have. But this brother of his, Justin, happens to be their (Farewell) tour manager while touring in the UK at least. Yeah Justin was also at the afterparty, loving on that afterparty, and we talked a bit to him, and he told us to find him on myspace and then send him a message, and he would put us on the guest list for the Monday gig, the one in Northampton. We did, he did and shangalala another concert! Three days in a row You Me At Six, we’ve seen Houston Calls and Farewell twice and Boys Like Girls and Fall Out Boy once. And all this in three days. I miss Kevin now. We did get a hug last night as well, he’s so cute. I miss his hugs and kisses… Awwwwe… 

PS. Don’t let me start on the trains, that would be a long rant!

BUT we did hear Lies at Asda between 2 – 3 maybe sometime last night. And we liked it!

I miss Kevin.

Concert and afterparty

Last night was the night. We made us all dolled up, Ida and I, with cameras hidden in socks and bras, and went over to the Wulfrun Hall. There were loads of teenies there for the concert, some didn’t look older then twelve I swear. We saw these guys walking past us when we were queuing and I said to Ida “The support bands could just walk past and we wouldn’t know who they were”. Which later on I found that the guys I had seen, actually were from one of the support bands. Funny fact. Inside we were standing at the side, well in the front, with tall, annoying and jumping-dancing people in front of us. I mean, we’re only small. The support bands were really good, would have been great if we actually knew the songs. I liked Farewell the best outta the two support bands. It was Farewell and Houston Calls. Then You Me At Six came on, and oh boy did they look great!! They were just amazing onstage. We were standing in the annoying press-teenies-it’s-fun-to-be-a-prick moshpit for a while, to get some great pics. Which we did. Then moved in the back to just dance and have a great time. We had an awesome time, the new songs are just AMAZING. After the concert we went to find the afterparty, payed our way in and just waited for the fun to start. While waiting, we had a drink and then went out for some fresh air, and on the back we saw Josh! You know, from You Me At Six. We didn’t dare to say anything as he was having a convo with someone else, and then he left. Shait. But then we walked further down where Max (Awww) was standing. After a while we finally got to talk to Max. I was like “Max, Max, Max” haha before he heard me, as he turned against us and said “How you doing?” I said that I wanted to say hi from all the Norwegian fans, and he thought it was so cool that we were from Norway. He actually said, after our chat and pictures that is, that the other guys had to come out and meet the Norwegian fans. We almost died, but we didn’t! Thank God. So we were standing outside for a bit, when Josh came out. Talked to some girls, looked up at us and asked if we were the Norwegians. So we had a nice chat with him as well, got pictures with him and told him how to say “Jeg heter Josh”. He was really good! Then we walked back in, the doors for downstairs had opened and we were just walking around, seeing band people here and there. Cool. Then I just decided that we had to talk to one of the guys in Farewell, this really sweet and so so nice guy called Kevin. He told us they were pretty known back in the states you know. We kinda ended up hanging quite a lot with him, he said we were his BFFs. And hanging with him, means hanging with the other band guys as well. We talked a lot to Josh, and some with Max as well, and we got pics with Matt Well and Kevin of course! I actually at one point went up to Josh and said “I’m drunk enough to ask for a hug now” and then he game me a proper hug. It was niiiice. We drank, got drunk, danced a lot, both with and without the band guys. Kevin said he wasn’t a dancer, but we got him to dance a bit! Hehe. I’m rambling on… Well, almost at the end now. As they were leaving we had to say bye to Kevin, which kinda made me spill the drummer of ymas’ beer. Sorry! We said bye bye, he hugged us and kissed our cheeks our sweet BFF. Then we went home drunk and happy, with the biggest grins on our faces.

Tomorrow? We’ll see. FOB tonight. More psyched about seeing ymas again tho lol. They are one of the support acts, with Boys Like Girls. It’s gonna be fun. 

I love Ida.

Me and Kevin <3
