I miss you

Last night was the Cobra Starfish show at the House of Blues and truth be told- I totally forgot. I didn't buy tickets thinking "hey this is Cobra, it won't sell out" HAHA, i was wrong. For some reason they're fameouzzzz now. IDK.

So Al came to my door at like 1 yesterday and was like "Cobra show?" and I was like "FORGOT!" So I walked to the HOB with her decieding I might as well see if there would be unclaimed will call tickets I could get or something, but no such luck. Apparently they aren't allowed to see will call tickets cos it's someones personal property? ok...

So i was bummed but knew it was my own fault so I sat down near the steps and was just chilling, thinking when this guy comes up and he's like "do you need a ticket? I'll sell it for half price (which would've been like $8 or so) I'm not an undercover cop or anything" but I was like "shady biz!" so I said no, I was cool. So he walked away, I guess he was trying really hard to sell the ticket, but really who is going to buy a ticket from some dude in the venue? That's just crazy. Eventually he came back over and sat down near me and I ignored him for a few minutes before he leaned over and goes "do you need a ticket?" and I was like "bro, srsly, I'm cool." and he was like "ugh, merry christmas." and tosses the ticket at me and jets. I was like "uhhhhh, wtf?" Then i was worried if it was legit so I asked security to scan it for me and it was cool so there I was! Free Cobra show #1 for the evening.

First of all- what the hell with the opening bands? Lame. Forever the Sickest Kids seemed like the biggest bunch of Christian Rock assholes ever, the lead singer was so douchy! I couldn't handle it. The best part were the 12 year olds in front of me, litterally FREAKING OUT about these guys. It was crazy. They had a texting contest and the little girl in front of my won and she shrieked at the top of her lungs, i was like "omg". They left before Cobra so I snaked (see what I did thar?) myself one of the stools they were sitting on for the show and it was cool. I was on a higher level than the floor on Alex's side of the stage but it's the HOB so any seat is really a good seat.

The show was awesome, I've never actually had the opportunity to judge any of the band's personalities besides Gabe's public one and was pleased to see that they're totally goofy and funny. Gabe talked about his polyps and I got mad cos he's a fucking idiot for still singing on this tour and then he cracked a joke and i realized he's one of those people that are too skilled at disfusing tense situations. The kind of bro you just can't stay mad at, oh well.

So after the show, they were going to play another show at Angels and Kings so Al and I went over there and got in and just hung out. I saw Schemica (really? does he only hang out at AK?) and this girl he was with was like "i love you shirt! I have that one!" since the LOVE tunic and I guess Nick had never seen it so I showed it to me and it was random. I think he recognized me but couldn't remember why. Maybe it's cos Pete said I called you a douchebag and told you that fedora was stupid, even tho I didn't and even though your fedora is stupid.

It was live band kareoke so I danced like a moron to everyone on stage cause I could and I was like "i'm gonna do it!" and I did! I decided on "Babe ORiely" of course and it was fun and everyone was like "woo! The Who!" so that was cool. I got off stage and Nick held up his fist for me to bump and I was like "stop with the random" but I smiled and obligied and few people said good job and it was fun. I'm gonna do it again when Matt comes down.

Then this kid comes out from the benches and it's this kid from my tueday Media Ethics class that had a Fall Out Boy shirt on last class and I was like "fall out boy!" and he was like "totally!" so he was like "hey cool! you like Cobra too!" and I met his girlfriend and she seemed totally sweet. so that was cool too.

The live band closed out with "Won't get fooled again" so i danced on the bench like the cool kid I am and then went down and joined the tiny mass of people by the stage for the Cobras. They were supposed to be on stage at about 11 or 12, but didn't end up taking the stage before 1:30, played about five songs and then had to leave cos the bar was closed at 2. Gabe was like "fuck this! I'm going to Rhino, everyone has to come see my DJ!" and I was like "bedtime, bro."

So that was my night. It was pretty rad. I'll add pics and the vid of my doing my best Roger impression when I get them :D
