"Then they went off to the pub next door and we proceeded into our long suppressed fan girl moments by calling our friends and gloating and giggling like mad."
Wow, oh wow. I am sooo jealous right now! Phantom Planet is amazing, and obviously their 'nice guy' demeanor is real, which just makes me even more jealous!!! Sounds like you had an unforgettable night! Someday I wish I will get that lucky!
Liz I remembered EVERYTHING, that's why I couldn't write it all down cause there was so much amazing shit. The iPhone text was one of the casualties. As was Sam repeatedly dropping the drum or the assholes in the crowd yelling at Alex and Alex verbally kicking their ass (but in a witty nice way).
Hey!! i remember that... oh yeah I WAS THERE. hehehe. oh the merchie's name was Joe. i think. and the one thing i super remember was when i showed him the note on my phone that said Thank You!!!!! which i saved. it was written at 9:43pm. :D i'll probably put up a journal about it through my eyes as well, eventually.....
These are one of those experiences that every fan dreams of with their favorite band. Hahah I also noticed the Nights Like This reference [: The guys of Phantom Planet seem really chill. i would love to meet them one of these days [: I think it's safe to say that if you were to ever see them again at least ONE of them will remember you and your friend Liz.
Zomg, lucky! I almost touched Alex when he stage dove and traveled all the way to the back of the floor on the HCT. That was prolly the most exciting thing that happened with them, but it still made them cooler in my book. I would soooo love it if any band (famous or not) would in vite me to their soudn check.
Oh my goodness. I have so many questions/comments now. This is so exciting.
First of all, ICU REFERENCING MY STORY. Haha it is kind of funny that they did that, considering...
Anyways. 1) That's so great that there was no barrier or security. I bet it made the show seem even more intimate 2) Lawl - babysat by rock stars. Very true, and very awesome. 3) I can't believe at 5:30 already there was nobody there! 4) I love when the crowd isn't pushy. That's the one thing I hate about seeing TAI. But when I saw John Mayer at the HOB, the crowd was very chill. It makes the show so much more enjoyable, when you feel like everyone in the crowd is your friend. 5) OMG they mentioned you during their set. THAT is definitely something that only happens in fanfics. 6) Who was the opening band? 7) I'm surprised at the general coolness factor of the fans, since phantom planet is a pretty well-known band, if you're into that scene at least. 8) Did they play california? hahaha.
I am so so very jealous of you right now, even though I've only heard one of their songs. What a great way to start off your fandom of a band. Im sure now they will be added to your list of favorite bands, right? I can only hope something so amazing happens to me at a show one of these days, TAI or not (though hopefully TAI, haha)
Love that. :]
