All? ALL?!
Ready your retinas then, girly! ^_^
Uhm, we had all this trouble cos of Cheri’s bank, so we had like no money, but luckily we managed to get there. This was like…2 hours on a train, 8 hours in London at night then like 8 hours on the coach before we got there. Then we managed to sort the metro out all on our own! I was very impressed with that. Then we got to the hotel it was NOTHING like the website said, it was basically a sink, a peeling wall, a small bed that smelt like feet and a toilet downstairs. Lovely. And it was really cold at night.
Aaaaaannyway. That’s all the boring stuff. The adventurous stuff was us going like…40 minutes down to the venue, getting there and be totally surrounded by French people who wanted to rape Sean. But Snoz found us and let us into the venue “for five minutes”. This translated as “come in til the gig. Then for the gig. Then stay til midnight” so…5 minutes = 13 hours. Probably one of the best things that’s ever happened to me though…it was mainly just Snoz and Rhys sorting out the dressing rooms for a while, and kept talking to us about how crap at French they are. Then Jocko came and started to sort out his drums, which literally took about 3 hours bless him. We got to see all of Lostprophets coming into the venue past us. Jamie decided to leap around the floor for a while shouting people’s names before going backstage as well XD
Snoz got us to go up on the balcony for the soundchecks, so for Lostprophets we were sat near Gav, Matt, Jay, Bob and Snoz (all who were on identical apple macs XD). Before that though Ian and Lee eventually arrived and LPs had a photoshoot. This had a lot of Ian molesting people while wearing really pale jeans, gawky glasses and eating biscuits. And Sean came back from shopping, then after whining about how he couldn’t get this jacket he milled around showing off and grinning when Ian said “Sean Smith is behind you guys…he’s my boyfriend :P”
Jocko came up and gave us his drum sticks as well, cos he said that he’d end up throwing them otherwise =]
Nom nom nom.
Yeah. Then LPs went off for food and to do an interview, so we watched TBO soundcheck. Which was damn funny. They just dance around and air guitar and take the piss for a while. Then they all went off and we just wandered around an empty venue for a while before the gig. I went to the front and had French people scheming to get me out, once they found I was English. Mainly it was some blonde chav who had Ian’s named tattooed on her arm, but I refused to move til TBO went off stage. It was awesome cos no one knew what the hell they were on about except like…6 people maybe XD
After TBO the chav girl slapped me, actually slapped me, so I swore at her and went back to Cheri and Pablo at the sound desk before she like…killed me. Then we went to watch LPs and stood at the merch table with Sean and Jay. Gav came along later and it was all moshy moshy fun. Lostprophets were so awesome, I didn’t even mind being at the back :) We could see really well anyway. And Jay was moshing lots which was cute. We also went to the loo and I nearly ended up weeing with Sean, but he left before anything that’d make me have a heart attack happened. French loos are gross, btw >.<
Uhm…then Sean went on for Everyday Combat and was such a little teenie. It was adorable. He ended up feeling them all up, and they reciprocated, then he kissed Ian and Ian licked his face :P Then…the gig ended. Jay told the security we were merch people so we could stay inside and we counted posters for him (15 :D) and watched the ceiling leak on Sean’s head for a lil’ bit. We met Gav, Matt and Snoz again and they were on about being safe back to the hostel and getting us drinks and stuff…then we went outside and spoke to Sean and Jocko who were looooovely. I wanted to say hi to Jamie but he got like RAPED by French people and he looked pretty confused.
I think Ian materialised somewhere else, because e pretty much disappeared. The rest of them went for crepes. Lee looked pretty happy about this XD
Then we went back to the hotel, slept, woke up, got dressed, got the metro again, got the coach, sat there for about 8 hours then went home :)
Wow. That’s not like…everything…no mega details about the conversations but that’d be far far far too long XD :)
I love yooou. And I missss you. And they said if we ever wanted to go to Europe again they’d sort us cheap, nice hotels and cheaper nicer travel cos they get deals cos of being in a band…so we should think about that for the fuuuuture :D
