i got to The Orpheum just after 5pm, and just as we were pulling up, my friend Cat texted me and told me they just called early entry to line up. so we got in line and waited. we were right by the door where the bands go in and out, so we saw DeLeon, Bryan, Johnson, Marshall, Sonny and other people from the other bands. we only got a picture with Johnson because Marshall disappeared and DeLeon and Bryan were on their way to get gator tacos (reference to Bryan's twitter). turns out the early entry was just them letting us in before everyone else. we got inside and Cat and i headed straight to the pit. it was taking a while for everyone to get inside, so i went ahead and ran back to buy a shirt and got back before anyone stole my spot. i had never been inside the Orphuem before, and to tell the truth it's my new favorite venue. the stage wasn't huge, and it was diagonal, which was a little weird, but it was over all really nice.

My Favorite Highway - i had never listened to them before, but they were really good. probably gonna download their cd on itunes later.

Eye Alaska - i took more pics of them than i did of any other opening band. i've never listened to them before either, but they were really good. and it made me laugh how the singer came on stage eating an apple. lol

i'm not sure what bands it was between, but between 2 of the opening band i felt a tap on my shoulder and i turn around to see my friend Morgan, that i talk to online but had never met before. she recognized me by the back of my shirt. haha

The Summer Set - they were the only band that i had actually listened to before i went to the show. they were really good. and i still love the fact that they have a girl drummer. you don't see that often. during them though our friend Courtney texted me and said her and her friends got kicked out. (i'm not gonna tell the story because idk if she wants people to know or not)

A Rocket To The Moon - haven't really listened to them before, i only knew part of one song because of the CFOB mixtape. but they were good. =)

before The Cab, i started talking to these girls beside me that said they liked my shirt. and one of their friends actually liked my shirt so much that he wanted to get a pic of it. it was funny and cool.

finally it was time for the boys to go on. i had seen a few videos of their intro before the show but i still loved it just as much as the first time i watched a video of it. Cash was still not back yet. the entire set was AMAZING! i had sunglasses that said The Cab on them and DeLeon wore them for, like, less than a minute. (still hoping to find a pic or video somewhere of him wearing them) i also got to hold DeLeon's hand (like, fingers interlocked and everything). DeLeon made a little edit when he sang High Hopes In Velvet Ropes... "I woke up, 12:05, i left that bitch with no goodbye." lol when they left the stage, saying they were done even though they weren't, everyone started chanting "one more song" and i wish they didn't start chanting because people would've started to leave and it wouldn't had been so crowded. then they came back out, played Disturbia and Bounce. i was being kinda a loser during Bounce, i was standing in the pit, rapping the remix Eloquent had made. haha

after the show, i finally put my shoes back on and Cat and i headed for the door. i asked the girl i was talking to in the pit if she got a pic of DeLeon wearing my sunglasses, but she didn't. then i stopped and talked to Morgan for a few minutes. Cat and I headed outside and found my mom. we started walking towards the trailer, where we saw Marshall and Johnson. (sorry ahead of time for my rant...) my mom noticed Marshall said something to the roadie that was with them as we were walking in that direction, then when we got over there the roadie told us that the tour manager said they weren't allowed to sign anything right now. [what ticked my mom off was that while Cat and i were off talking to DeLeon, Marshall was signing stuff and talking to a few girls and she heard the roadie ask him if he was signing stuff or not. she thought it was really rude. and the more i think about it, the more i sort of lose respect for Marshall, even though i don't want to.] a little bit later we noticed that DeLeon was now across the street with way less people than before, so Cat and i headed over to him. he had this empty water bottle that he was trying to throw across the street and make it hit the van. it never actually did. but it was funny one time when he threw it, he froze with his mouth hanging open because the bottle almost hit some random girl and he was like "that wasn't aimed at you, i promise." i still laugh every time i think about it. and also, at one point i ran over and got the bottle and told him that i could hit the van with the bottle. and he was like "if you do, i'll do anything you want." so i'm like "ok". i take my flip flops off and go running over to the van with the bottle and hit it. he was laughing and was like "what was that?". it was so funny! then i got him to talk to my friend Rachel on the phone (she's wanted to tell him he has beautiful eyes since we saw them live a month ago) and got our pictures. we walked around some more and Cat got a pic with the guy that's been filling in for Cash. we were hanging out by the trailer again because i wanted to get a pic with Bryan when Johnson comes up and gives Cat a hug and we both got another pic with him. then Cat and i get our pics with Bryan and i talk to him about North Carolina for a few minutes. afterwards, we start to walk away and i remembered that i had a letter for DeLeon. i asked Bryan where he was, then Bryan asked Sonny and then here comes DeLeon. he talks to some girls that were with Sonny, that they evidently knew, and then comes over to me. i give him the letter and explain that i also printed out this note that i did on facebook where you had to use song titles from one certain artist to answer the questions and i had done mine on The Cab. he said thank you and gave me a hug, and i asked him if he could really quickly sing some of Whisper Something Fragile for me, but they were yelling that it was time for them to leave and he told me that he would sing it for me next time. (i'm holding him to that ish. haha) at that point, it was time for me to leave.

it was over all an amazing night and i can't wait for them to come back to Florida!! =)

 Day 2 of the roadshow.

Got to the venue late and had to find my friend Lolly, so my parents dropped me off by the buses and headed straight to the line. Called Lolly to find out where she was, got in line with her and just waited for doors too open. Her friend Kelly came up and talked to us for a little bit. A little while after she left, my parents brought me my ticket and then left to walk around. By the time the doors actually opened, the line was really long. And Lolly thought our spot in line was bad. My other friends Mari and Lesa found us in line and we all slowly moved forward. When we almost get to the front of the line, I see our friend Tay and we let her and her friend in line with us. Just before we get up to security, I see a sign that says 'No cameras' and I freak out because I didn't want to get in trouble and my family was somewhere at the other end of Downtown Disney. So we get up to security, and they tell me I can't have my camera, or the sharpie I had, and then they take away my skittles and easter bag for Kent from FTSK, then they still went over me with one of those beepy metal detectors. And they actually charge you $2 to hold your stuff during the show, so Lolly and I just put our stuff all in one bag and I give her $1 for it.

Finally we get past all the security crap and get inside. We get a pretty good spot and just wait for the show to start.

Mercery Mercedes - I only know parts from a few of their songs, but they were really good. They got the party started.

NeverShoutNever - He was good on tuesday, but I was excited to see him with his full band. They had inscents burning on stage, so he commented on how good it smelled. At one point, he asked if people had bracelets for him, to throw them up on stage and then there was a HUGE shower of bracelets onto the stage. A little while later, someone threw a tiara on stage and he put it on top of his hat. He was just so adorable, the way he ways jumping around the entire time.

To everyone's surprise, just before The Cab comes on... Trace and Mason from Metro Station come running out on stage to introduce The Cab. Everyone freaked out and I was just like "WTF?!?" It was weird...

The Cab!! - I was over by Marshall's keyboard the entire time. They were sooooooo good! (just like last past 2 times) When Cash came over by us, I held up my arms to show him the bracelet I gave him 2 days before. He pointed me out and smiled at me. DeLeon was just as crazy as always, bouncing around all over the place. And over all it was just amazing.

Forever The Sickest Kids - Because of the rain and everything 2 days before and not being able to have an actual show, i didn't know they did this whole theatrical thing at the beginning of their show. It was sooooo funny to watch. My friend told me Jonathan pointed her out during the show for crowd surfing. They were just so funny and I can't wait to see them live again.

Again, I left before We The Kings went on, but I did go and talk to Sonny again. I gave him a tap just for being awesome and he gave me a set of promo card, which since I'm on the fbr street team and had a bunch of the same cards at home, I gave them to Lolly. We happened to find Tay and her friend again and we go outside to get our stuff. We walk over to find my other friends and then we went on out to the buses to meet people.

Afterwards - We get out to the parking lot where the buses and vans were parked and we see Ian standing in front of the mule, talking to one of the guys from Mercy Mercedes. We talk to him for a little bit, get pictures, and Lolly, Tay, Tay's friend and I talk to him about our awesome Cab related shirts. I also asked if him and the rest of the band wanted to go to McDonalds, but he said that he was leaving soon. =/ Then he goes on somewhere else. So my other friends, the whole time, were standing by NeverShoutNever's bus, trying to get Chris to come out (can't tell you how. it's a secret.) Well, I join them and we just wait. Eventually he comes practically running off the bus to come meet my friends and I. He comes out and asks if we were the ones doing 'that' and he, like, gives us hugs and is as sweet as can be. First my friends asked to get pictures with my friend's phone, and since I read that he doesn't like camera flashes, I was just like "I'd ask for a picture, but I read that you don't like camera flashes..." and he was just like "Oh, it's fine." So I did end up getting a picture with him. =) One of my friend had been telling me for, like, a week before the concert saying that she felt like she was supposed to pray with Christofer and some of the guys from Forever The Sickest Kids, so she explained what she had been feeling to him and we got to pray over him. It was really cool because there were a bunch of other people standing around that heard us praying over him and my friend told me afterwards, because I didn't notice it myself, but he had gotten teary-eyed because of us doing that. And he kept telling us "Thank you" a lot, and it was really cute and amazing and I hope I get to see him again next time he's in Florida. So we sit around for a little bit longer, waiting for more people to come out. Lolly and I see our friend Cat(some of you may know her as the "Johnson Is Love" girl from myspace), and we talk to her for a while and she hangs out with us. Suddenly Kent from Forever The Sickest Kids comes by and I'm like "Hi Kent" and wave even though he's a few feet away. He's like "Hey" and I explain to him that I had an late easter surprise for him but security took it before the show and then ask for a picture. Just before we take the picture, my mom comes up and gets in between us, so I get a pic of my mom and I with Kent, then got one of just me with him. My mom got his autograph (for a friend of ours), and it was just really funny. We see Ian across the street and Cat goes over to talk to him and then comes back over to where we were. Then we see Johnson from across the street. Cat takes off over to him (haha il her, her crush on Johnson is funny, but cute funny. I remember someone making the comment that Johnson is going to have to marry her.) and we wait, so we don't get run over by cars. Once we get over there, we wait for a few minutes because there are a few other people there. We each get our pictures with him (including my mom haha) and talk to him for a little bit. I told him that he has to wear the bracelet I gave him and the rest of the band every time they play in Florida, and he said that he knew where it was, he just wasn't wearing it. After we talk to him, we go back across the street and wait for more people. (**for the note, I might have met Marshall before Cash... i don't remember**) Cash comes out and we talk to him for a little while and get pictures. After waiting just a little longer, Marshall finally comes out. (;D) I wait a little... almost hesitating because of what I was planning to do, to get my picture with him. Finally, I suck it up and go to get my picture with him. I ask him to get 2 pictures with him, one normal and one funny. We take the first one and it comes out good. Then it was time to go out of my comfort zone... I turned and kissed his cheek and got my picture like that. I'm just going to stop there because the rest is just be embarrassing myself and kinda getting yelled at for taking so long because we had a 3 hour ride home. The kiss thing was a big deal to me because I have a big crush on Marshall and I've never kissed anyone outside my family. I know it's kinda lame... *shrug*

Picture time!!

 Even with a cold and having it be pouring rain almost all day, it still didn't stop me from going to this show.

So, on the way there it was pouring rain. I was hoping and praying that it would stop raining for the show. By the time I got to the venue, it had stopped raining completely and didn't rain the rest of the night. Thanks to the rain there weren't to many people in line when I got there. Like, less than 5 minutes after I get in line, here comes Johnson going out to the mule. I get him to come over to me and I give him a late little Easter surprise (It was some Easter candy, and I wrote on the bag "Happy late Easter! Love, Adriane". I had one for each band member in NSN!, The Cab, FTSK, and WTK, but the ones for The Cab had a special bracelet in it. I also had those bracelets for Sonny and Hansel too.) He gave me hug and put his bracelet on, then I asked for a picture with him. We talked for another minute or 2 and then he had to go. I don't know why, but both times I've met Johnson I always talk to him about how I can't wait to see them inside and how long I've been listening to the band for... I'm gonna slap myself if I do it again. So a little later on Sonny comes out and I gave him his bracelet, which gets me a hug in return, then he continued on to the mule. After a little while longer, Cash came out. I gave him his Easter surprise and he told me "that kinda made my day". I got a hug and a picture, then he went on to the mule. After a little while longer, Hansel comes out and I give him his bracelet, which get me a hug in return, then he goes on to the mule. After that, Jonathan comes out and I give him his surprise, which gets me a hug. Then he asks me if I'm something like the Easter bunny, and I explained that I did it because they were stuck in a tour bus on Easter. I got a picture and he went on. After a longer amount of time, here come Marshall and DeLeon across the street from getting food. A bunch of people, including me, walk over to talk/get pictures with them. DeLeon got away at some point while I was talking to Marshall, but I'll talk more about DeLeon in a little bit. I FINALLY got to meet Marshall!! He was soooooooooo nice. I gave him his Easter surprise, which got me a hug (;DD), then I gave him a card that I meant to give him in November, (I told him not to open it because it was embarrassing), and finally I gave him a 16 page screenplay that I had written as a final for my screenwriting class. It was semi based off of Glitz & Glamour (the song, not the EP), titled after This City Is Contagious, and had the entire band in it, just not as the band. I also told him that he's mostly in it and he promised me that he would read it(I'm going to ask him in Orlando if he read any of it yet). I got 2 pictures because rain was falling from the trees and a drop landed on my lens before we took the first one, I fixed the problem and we took another picture. =DDD When it was close to time for doors to open, DeLeon appeared on the balcony above the doors, talking on the phone. After a while, I finally got him to come down to get his birthday present, which also got me a hug (his Easter bag was in with his present).

blah blah blah times goes on, I get in, find a spot in the pit, have to listening to annoying little girls complain because they were short, or some stupid crap like that. I just ignored them. Because it had been raining all day, all the bands except for We The Kings were playing acoustically.

Mercy Mercedes went on first. They said that it was the first time they had played acoustically in almost 2 years. I only knew a little of a few of their songs, but they were good over all.

Next was NeverShoutNever. He was sooo good live. I had to throw my Easter bag for him on the stage, and that got me a "thank you" into the microphone. He played Happy, Did It Hurt, Trouble, and BigCityDreams.

After him was The Cab!! =D As always, it was just Ian and DeLeon on the stage, even though Cash did stand to the side and watch. It so much fun getting to watch them. DeLeon did mention that it was the largest crowd they had ever played for acoustically.

Once The Cab was over, I got out of the pit. I stood at the outside edge of the pit for some of Forever The Sickest Kids and danced like an idiot. Some old guy stared at me like I was crazy. A while later, I went ahead to go get my merch. Got the glow in the dark The Cab shirt and talked to Sonny for a little bit, got a NeverShoutNever! shirt for my friend, and then got my Forever The Sickest Kids shirt. Johnson came out after a little while, so I went and said hey to him. Soon enough, Forever The Sickest Kids were over, so a few minutes after they got off stage I went and got my dad to leave (the venue, to go hang out by the buses).

** I'm just going to sum this up and not go into detail at all because it would take to long. **
Walked outside, and here comes We The Kings going into the venue. I say hi to Danny and he walks over and gives me a hug just because. Said hi to this guy, Billy, that is in a local band that knows WTK. Drew and Travis just went on (I completely forgot about the Easter bag, so I didn't get their attention), and then here comes Hunter (at that point I remembered about the easter bag), I tap him on the shoulder and give him 4 easter bags and tell him that they're for the whole band for easter, and I get a hug and "Thank you". The battery on my camera was almost died during the show, so I only got a picture with Marc and Austin from Forever The Sickest Kids. I met Marc from FTSK, gave him his easter bag, and got a hug. I met Austin from FTSK, gave him his easter bag, and got a hug. Got a picture with Marc and Austin. Met Caleb from FTSK, got him to sign my FTSK shirt, gave him his easter bag, and got a hug. Met Kyle from FTSK, gave him his easter bag, got a hug(HOLY SNAP, THAT DUDE IS TALL!! the top of my head reached his shoulder!), and he actually got off the phone(haha he was talking to the person in myspace lingo... lol) to talk to me. Walked around for a little bit, then sat over by The Mule for a while, got up to go, found Jonathan again, laughed at him for getting a sharpie stuck in this girl's hair twice, signed his hoodie, and left.

THE END.
PICTURE TIME!!!! =DD

so, after going to rock band live tour i now have a crush on more than one person atm. so now every time i think of The Cab, i think of both of them. and i think it might kinda be tearing me apart on the inside. it bothers me ALMOST to the point that i want to stop listening to The Cab for a little while... that won't be happening because they're almost like a drug to me.

 I feel really weird. I just don't know. I feel pathetic and stupid because I know I have a very little chance with him. I'll figure it out...

I had a dream with him in it the other night... and if it ever actually happened, i would be dead.

so, i was at a concert and i was sitting at the picnic table outside(or inside, i couldn't tell) and he was standing on the other side of the table. so, i asked for a hug and he shook his head no(it was more of a playing around, cute, kinda thing. not the 'no. go away' kind). then he sat down across from me at the table. well, he kept sliding around the table until he was sitting right next to me. once he was right next to me, i was writing Crushcrushcrush on this little piece of paper i had, i had only written crush once when he TOOK MY HAND and made it write crush. then he just looked over and smiled at me.

so i pretty much died that morning when i got up... x)

That's just about how I feel right now. I don't think they're really any other to explain how I feel about him.If anyone knows any other explanation , please let me know. I feel almost to the point of obsession, and it really bothers me. I just want to meet him and see how I act. Maybe I won't make a complete and absolute idiot of myself. Maybe I could have an actual chance with him, or maybe I'm just dreaming. We'll see...

I don't know what it is about him. It just feels so much different. I wish I knew. I think he really is the first guy I've ever called sexy and feel the way I feel. I can't stop thinking about him. Is it that I'm excited that Kelsey and Shannon are gonna try and set me up with him, that I could actually have a chance with him. This sounds stupid, but could i actually, for the first time in my life, be in love or is it something I just can't explain? I really wish I knew.
