Holyyy Crap. Better show than the 12th. Of course, I never got any pictures with any of the guys but WHOAH. the show was amazing. Both the 12th and the 21st I never stayed to see Boys Like Girls because i dont have any interest in them. I just bought the tickets for GC, really, but i do like metro station a lot too, and the maine is just okay.

Sooo after the show I went for a walk with my friend megan and some of her friends, im such a wimp i wouldnt go on any rollercoasters, her friends went on The Scream Machine and we just waited for them to come out by the gate. Megan was textin and i was just looking around,...and then came benji, joel, nicole, and some security. I think the 1st person i seen was joel and they were coming closer and i wasnt sure if that was him at first but then i was like, holy crap it is!! i tried to tell meg but she was in her own little world. haha. as i told her like the 2nd or 3rd time she FINALLY heard me and they were just a few feet away. We said hi to them all and just asked for a picture, we were just SO in shock.. we couldnt find any words to come out of our mouths. they just walked past us. As they were on the ride i guess everybody in that area seen them go on and there was a whole crowd, we were thinking to buy the picture of them on the rollercoaster when it automatically takes the pic, but security stopped that. =[ by the time they got off they walked past us again except this time there were a ton of other people following them...we were like begging for pictures. haha. It all happened soo quickly and security was saying "no pictures, please" soo it was a bit scary at first. idk.

As they were on their way to Superman, their next ride...... my mom was kinda chasing them lol and it was actually benji, she thought it was joel.. but joel was a few people behind benji, with nicole. lol. and everybody was waiting on them to get off the ride. again, their picture was never posted (haha stalkers) when they were off the ride the crowd was crazier than ever. it seemed like the whole park was following them and they had like no room to walk. i felt bad for them.... but then they went into a secret gate thingy and i guess it was a shortcut to some other ride...megan and i kinda parted ways and she found them by EL TORO while i just went back to superman to get back with my mom. She said that by then she got a video of them all walking, and OMFG ...she got to touch benji!! hahah. atleast i was happy for her, i got all my pics with them the 12th, well...except benji. and atleast she(and me!) somewhat got to meet them. she called me right afterwards to tell me the story and she was leaving.

i think it was a little bit after 10:00pm(which is when the park was officially closed) but people were still going on a few rides that were still open, or just still had a line. my stepfather wanted to do the bungeecord jump that goes up to the sky basically and they said it was closed and theyre not letting anymore people on. we kinda went to the suiveneer shop and bought some stuff, and then guest relations to talk to the people there for a minute and by then i guess it was 10:30? idk. As we were gettin ready to leave the park, we seen people on the bungee jump behind the building(we were on the other side ha) sooo my mom and i were walking around and asking the people why they lied and are letting people on it now.... and as soon as we got there, i seen joel, nicole, benji, and paul. holy crap. how can you miss that?!?! haha. well we were going to go talk to them and they were just pushing us aside and telling us to leave and the park was closed, blah blah blah... there were a couple of other fans there but not many at all. the one girl ran around security and took a picture with benji lol (and then she showed me a picture of her and joel in a picture together, he was at the watergun shoot-aim for the target thingy) I kinda told paul the show was amazing and they were great and he smiled and said thanks. joel was like staring at me for a few seconds and security was like yelling at other people to go away. joel was getting ready to go on the jump and nicole was just waiting by the gate smiling.... w.e. he took off his hat and his hair was like sooo frigging messy. haha. anyways security was getting hard, soo my mom and i just left. we kind of went around to where there was noo security and we seen joel going up in the air(i think there was another person going up with him) and we were just like sitting there and then he went down, and was like, ""AAAHHH!!! AHHH!! WHOOOOOO!!!"" i can never forget that. lmao. it was classic.

we tried to find the tourbusses after we had left the park, but it was like a maze. security was trying to help us find our way back onto the highway soo we had to listen to them. it really sucks i never got to taking a pic with them, but hey, i did before! sooo i cant complain. i guess it was just being at the right place at the right time running into them this many times. it was so funny. especially when we went to go yell at the bungeecord people for letting people on and not my stepfather, and turning to go see the maddens and everyone else, i couldnt believe my eyes.

i took a video on my camera of joel going up the jump but it was sooo dark you couldnt see anything. it is like ready to be deleted, but i will treasure it. (lol) i took a video about 7 minutes(HQ TOO!!!) of the concert that i will upload here. i also took about 100 pictures at the show. when i got home that night i remember bringing my camera in the house, but about a half hour later when i was online and tryna find my cam i couldnt find it. im so mad that i have a blog now and no photos or videos. the moment i find my camera though i am running to this computer!! HAHA.

anywayysss........THAT NIGHT WAS AWESOME. IT MADE MY SUMMER.


1st GC SHOW ROSELAND BALLROOM NYC August 12th 2008!!! I MET THEM! ........whew! my fav bandd... i met them. Good Charlotte... all except benji! ;/ cant complain though! the concert was out of this world amazing.

we went on line at about 11:45am and the doors opened at 6, we had center front of the stage! our spot was greatt! we were like the 3rd row of people back center of the stage. the moshpit was so friggingg crazy though even before the maine started, and when they did start, it got worse. we were being pushed so forceful we were like tipping over and, if we were to fall, we'd be dead. the maine was on stage for less than a minute and we had to leave. soo we moved to the side of the stage, still very close. less torture. nobodys body was on you, and there was no moshpit on that side! ha. after good charlotte left the stage, we just left! we went to the bathrooms, didnt really check out BLG much, since i dont really kno their music. we just left to go find the back door to meet GC! but the maine played like 3 songs(short!) metro station like 7 and GC like 9. idk about BLG. but gc was my fav they were amazinngggg!!! but all the bands are full of energy and they gave the crowd great energy.

soo right when we got there, everyone was saying paris and benji had already left. so hope for them was gone. wed missed them. but everyone else was still there. billy came out 1st, he was walking to the tourbus and the venue a few times but he promised hed come take pics(he did, a few times!) we had seen deano a few times too, but only got 1 pic with him(good enough! couldnt ask for more) and he was so nice. the 1st pic i took with billy he wanted to get his pizza in the pic too lol, but my mom had missed it, ;/ oohh well. when joel came out, he was on the phone. he walked to his tourbus, kinda ignorin us all, he had 1security guy following him.

it was so funny cause i joked with my mom, what if joel ordered a cab and had it come to the side of the bus so no fan would see him? we were standing in the road and i swearrr on everything that just a few seconds afterwards joel came out, and ran around the corner. we had only seen him cause we were in the road! no one else did! ha! we kind of chased him lol and my mom was like, hes going to the store! but as we turned the corner we watched him hop in a cab(!!!!!) and he was ducking so no one might see him. we went back to the back door where everyone was and told everyone and i was sooo mad he left us, nobody believed us thou lol! i dont blame them. it seemed wacko. lol.

as we were talkin to billy the one time he came out he said they were heading to toronto and joel was coming backk . he said he just went out to go eat someplace and he should be back like 12:30 at this time the maine was out and the WHOLE crowd was with them. like 1,000 people. like ,literally. soo when billy told us no one heard him and by the time joel got back to the bus at like 12:45 there were only about.... 8 other people there. ;]] soo he passed us up again, he went in his bus. but he had told us hed be right back out! soo... still hope! he walked on the bus with some bald guy and mary kate olsen... idk why he was with her, lol, while we were waiting for him to come back out we met Josh Madden he was just walking by, i had only seen like 2 pictures of him on the internet and wasnt sure if that was him soo as he was walkin i was like, hey josh?! hes like, hi. and i just asked for a pic with him he was so nice about it and asked if i took a pic with joel yet and i said no and he just went on the tourbus. lol. like a few minutes later joel came out of the bus, and he was like staring and we just ran over to him && took a pic and my mom had asked if he still talks to hilary (sooo awkward! ugh) and hes like, um yeah, yeah, shes a great girl( i think he was lying lol) and i told him i thought hed stiffed us when he walked by us and hes like, ah its all good. he went to the other side of the street i guess where the other fans were and took pics with them i guess they hadnt seen to run over by us when he was with us soo it was just him, me and my mom. and we got him to sign the gc tour tshirt id bought (ooh billy did too and he said thankx for buying the shirt! ah!) there were these girls talkin to joel about how theyre friends thanks to good charlotte and they have been listening to them since they were freshman in h.s. and there now 20. and joel was like, thank you thank you. and then he like put up his hands like he was praying and bowed. it was funny. anyways he got back on the bus soon after and me and this girl and my mom was talking and shes the one that had let us know that was mary kate olsen with him and we were talkiing and as the tourbus was pulling away, we were waving and joel and paul were waving back to us. how sweetttt!! paul was on his computer(wow do i sound like a stalkerrrr?!?!?!? lmao) and to make me sound more like a stalker, joel was drinkin in the bus. lmao. i told the whole band (except benji of course) id see them the 21st and theyre like, cya theree! that whole band is so nice and its like, there so down to earth u dont even realize your talking to them. anyways they were just so nice! all of them! and i almost cried or somethin when i thought joel left us the 1st time. hahh.

well, thats all i have to say. it was like the best day of my summer. =) =) =)
