holy shit, do i have a story for you. warning; this will be VERY LONG. when i did my blog yesterday, i had no idea what was coming for my friends and i. holy shit. the picture above is andy and nico's signatures of danger radio. so, tor left school early to get ready and get to blender early. she and jill got there around 4, and at 4:30 she called me. plain white t's was cancelled (who cares?) and the show was now free. i basically died as i called laura. andrew de torres is her favorite person and the only reason she wasn't going was because she didn't buy a ticket. i left her a message, she called me back DYING. she asked her mom and was at my house in about 15 mintes lmfao (: my mom came home at 5:15 and we left at 5:30. we got to the city at 6:30 and go online with tor. they started letting us in at 7 and we got barricade on the left side. the first band came on, single file, and they were pretty good. butterflies induced when i saw andrew sidestage for the first time that night. danger came on, and played slowdance with a stranger, your kind, used and abused, broken man, things, alive for the first time, you all believe, kiss n' tell, and a little bit of toxic and wonderwall. overall, absolutely amazing. but the most amazing part happened after that. the show ended at about 10:30. we hung out inside for a little, talked with gunzi and andy :)! and then we went outside. i knew everyone was gunna get mobbed and i felt bad. i talked with all of the DR boys, and gunz gave me his bracelet for free, so i was happy. also, spencer phillips is the CUTESTTTT. i wasn't really talking to andrew because he was being MOBBED, but then i noticed a small crowd behind their trailer. laura and i go over and andrew is sitting there with his acoustic. i was dying because it was exactly what i was hoping for. he sang my sweet carolina to a girl and it was adorable. then eric came over to form the scene aesthetic. when they said they were going to play i was about to cry. it was exactly what i wanted. they played beauty in the breakdown, heavy lies the crown, love story (tayswift), semi-charmed life (third eye blind), and the man i am. the man i am is their new song that i was dying to hear, but i didn't know the name of it. it's on repeat as we speak. but anyway, when andrew started the chords, i knew. i was dying. we made eye contact and he laughed because i knew the words. he made eye contact with laura too :'). it was so genuine. so meaningful. and that's why i love those boys. after this, laura and i spoke with andrew for a minute. we took pictures and thanked him again and again. then, he said something like "yeah, i saw you guys singing along and it was weird because this song is so new, i didn't think anyone knew it." my smile was HUGE. any dissatisfaction with that night was whisked away in that moment. we thanked him a million times and then said bye. then we freaked out. happy tears. it was amazing. i didn't even know what to do with myself. we then went and said bye to gunz, of course. we decided to say bye to andy, too, because he was near us. we go over and say bye and he hugs both of us :) then he goes, "are you guys alone?!" and i'm like "yeahhh" and he's like "wow, you better be careful! don't get killed, okay? i'll kill you both if you die!" and it made me smile so much. when we got in the car with my mom i just rambled on and on. i haven't had these feelings in so long and i missed it. last night was the definition of perfection. thank you to danger radio and eric, for something so genuine that i will never, ever forget. look in my eyes, tell me that i lie. because i've never been so sure of anything in my life. i told you that i loved you once and i meant every word i said, and i will love you til the day that i am dead.
