So I woke up at like 5h00 in the morning because I was really
nervous. I couldn’t quite grasp why I
was but I had this constant feeling in my stomach, and I left my bed at
6h05. I had set my alarm for 6h15 but as
I had expected, it was of no use.
I left my house and went to the subway.
I met Alexandra there and we went at the Jean-Drapeau Park. Nervousness. There was a pretty big line, but
I was glad we had chosen to come early.
Some people weren’t able to get into the park before 1h30. So we get in at 11h15. I buy a schedule and map (since I’ve never
been to warped tour, it was very useful).
Oh, The Academy Is… are playing at 11h30, HURRY UP!
We get to the stage, there are not much people, and I’m in the second
row. So The Academy Is… arrive on the
stage, I’m really exited. They start
playing (I don’t remember what song… Attention, maybe. I don’t know.) and I
sing along and scream. Mike looks at me
then smiles. Sisky is wearing that pink
shirt and he’s looking good. So yeah, the show goes on, but William never looks
at me. He talks about how the last show
in Montreal was
cancelled and that they’re happy to be here right now and all. Then in the middle of a song, Andrew from
Jack’s Mannequin comes and sings:
Then he introduces the new song “About A Girl” and I’m like all
happy. So they start playing it and
then, miraculously, William looks at me while I scream and he smiles and makes
a face like that:
Exept that he sticked his tongue out.
So I’m like HAAA WILLIAM LOOKED AT ME! And I’m suuuper happy. Then a few
seconds after, he looks at me again and notices that I know the lyrics so he’s
all happy and he smiles at me. I can’t describe how I felt at that moment.
William. I love you. Haha. The Travis from We The Kings comes to sing the end
of “About A Girl” and I’m in heaven.
Then they play “We’ve got a big mess on our hands” and everyone freaks
out. Then they leave the stage and I’m all gross. We start to walk away but then we see Sisky
at the side of the stage so I run there and ask him to sign my shirt. So I turn around so he can sign in my back
but I don’t push my hair aside. So all
shy-like he pushes a few strands away so I say “Oh, sorry” and push it all
aside so he signs. Then he’s all “I’m
sorry guys, we have to catch a flight!” I wondered why they were going back to Chicago for 2 days. It was odd to me. But I found out that they were going to shoot
a video. Still, I was sad that they left and I didn’t get to meet all of them. But still, Sisky is a big thing. So before he leaves I convince him to take a
picture with me.
Then he leaves but just before I yell “I love you!” and he turns around
and blows me a kiss.
Gym Class Heroes:
I sure didn’t expect their set to be so intense. But damn, intense it was. I loooove Travis facial expressions.
Hilarious. At one point, someone gave
him a Guitar Hero thing and they suddenly started playing this heavy metal song
and everyone started trashing and it was diabolic.
I didn’t know Travis was able to
scream like that. It was amazing. It was like all the set are catchy rap songs
and then there’s this metal-screamo song. It was crazy. After that we run to Cobra Starship because
they started 2 minutes before Gym Class finished their set. So I wasn’t very near.
At 4h30, Gym Class did a signing thing and I got all of their autographs.
Cobra Starship:
They were amazing, as they always are on stage. “I know girls want to shake what their mommas
gave’em” They start to play “Smile for the papparazzis” and everybody dances
and it’s great. They sing “Hollaback
boy” and I love it whenever they sing it.
Then Gabe says (Aw he’s such a softie) “Thank you guys, for
understanding us. Thanks especially to
the fans that’ve been following us for the last 3 years, it’s because of you
we’re here today! And thanks for understanding us, for understanding that we
don’t give a fuck about anything exept… Being your guilty pleasure.” Then he
smiles and everyone starts cheering. And
they start Guilty pleasure and people that know it, do the “Guilty Pleasure”
dance and they’re happy. They sang
“Snakes on a plane”, too but William wasn’t there, but Travis came to sing his
part. It was great. Afterwards, I go to the side of the stage and
there are lots of people there too and Gabe is there. I try to ask him to take a picture with me
but he has to go (dang, them too?) but he has to leave but just before he takes
my hand and squeezes it then let go and leave.
We The Kings:
I love these guys. They’re so nice.
They had a signing thing before their show (since the show was actually
at 6h45…) and Hunter did this Dunk Tank thing and it was hilarious. Travis and Danny were playing with a water
gun.
I also got this little video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A1hwjvYlGU
At the signing, I told Hunter that I had already bought their CD before
Warped and he looked really happy about it and smiled and literally shouted:
“YEAH! AWESOOOOME!” and gave me a high-five.
Their set was wonderful. The
crowd was huuuuuuge. And everyone knew the lyrics. “It is our second time here in Canada. Who
already saw us once?” Literally everyone shouts. Haha. “Hey Travis, I just saw
this really sexy Canadian girl…” The crowd screams. I even heard a girl scream
“TRAVIS MAKE MY CHILD!” Haha. Pretty crazy fangirls, actually. “Girls in Montreal are SEXY! I don’t know, in America it’s
not so bad but dang here every girl is HOT! In America, sometimes, girls smell,
but you girls don’t smell bad at all!” HAHAHAHAHA. I was like mmmhhhkaaayyy
thanks, Trav…
Go to the “My Shows” gallery for all the pictures, there a couple very good ones. Ah, this day was
wonderful.
