hiiiiiiii
In denver now!! staying at Robbie... THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Him and his family are awesome =DD!!!! awesome too for putting me up for FOUR DAYS!!!!!!
Anyway, saw Saves The Day last night in Denver... they played alot of old songs which was awesome cause i had wanted to hear their old stuff... I'm kinda sad though that they didn't play much new In Reverie stuff.... cause it's an AMAZINGGGGGGGGG album!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just sad cause most of their older fans, like those who loved STD from before, they don't like the new stuff alot... and you can see the difference in the crowd's reaction when they play old and new stuff... For the old stuff, fans will like get REALLY crazy, for the new stuff... they just stand there.. and i feel sad for STD cause i really don't want them to think that fans don't like their new stuff or that their old stuff are better cause that's bullshit. they're awesome, and they're awesome, old or new. and i wish i could just tell chris that you know what? In Reverie is an AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG album and don't EVER think otherwise!
ANYWAYS... i also saw days away today. hehe. *smiles* *bliss*... i had a nightmare that i couldn't get to see them and couldn't get to talk to the band. They were MIA mostly today... and i REALLY mean MIA... NO ONE, and i mean NO ONE was at the merch booth 80% of the time which is shit cause what if someone wants to buy some merch???? or heck! aren't they worried about people stealing their merch too???????
But anyways, i got there and i saw Tim backstage and I went over to go say hi, and Keith was there too while i was getting there. So i said hi to tim and Keith and Keith gave me a hug and asked "what are you doing here???" to see you of course!! DAYS AWAY ALL THE WAY MAN!!!!! Anyways, we went over to the van to talk cause it was loud inside (the first band was playing) and we talked about bunch of stuff, mostly music of course and me bitching about their cancelled shows and me not being able to go for their PA show. We also talked about me being in Denver to see them and then i told him about the video i made. THen we talked abit about Philadelphia shows, and then a little bit more about erm...... on yeah their set list.
Then i went back for the show.
Their set was AWESOME, as always... =D They played 3 new songs instead of 2, so that means they kicked off 1 song from the EP. they also didn't play Keep Your Voices Down, but they played T Klien Declines (WHICH WAS AWESOME CAUSE TIM WAS JUST KICK ASS THERE). In all it was a great set!!! The whole band was amazing as always. Chris, you're one crazy dude on stage! he is like WARPEDDDDD in his own world when he's on stage!!! *AWESOME* tim.... we don't need to say no more... Keith, heh, also in his own world. Austin, immerse. Brian, heh, looks like he's concentrating so hard!!!! But Brian's awesome... i think it's good they have him in the band now cause he plays DOUBLE keyboards and that's just amazing what he does.
Anyways... so we stayed in the pit for the next band and then erm.... i went to buy merch!! THEY HAD A NEW SHIRT WHICH WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! hehehe... so i bought that one, Austin, Chris and Brian was sitting around near the merch booth (THE ONLY TIME IT WAS ACTUALLY POPULATED)
Anyways... erm... i didn't get to talk to Keith till after Steel Train's set... Sorry i had to ditch Robbie for a moment but i completely grabbed the chance to talk to keith cause he was passing me and he was alone cause shit man, Keith is like a butterfly that flies around and it's damnnnnnnnnn hard to catch him once u missed him... Cause i always think that he's always 1) near/inside the van, 2) have 10,000 people around him, 3) running around 4) distracted 5) just gone. SOOOOO if u ever see keith alone, dude, just GRAB the chance and go talk man, cause that's the ONLY TIME u'd see him.
Anyways, so we went to the merch booth and talked abit cause i told him about that selling the DA CDs in Malaysia and all that and he told me about erm their street team. Then I asked about their album and it seems that it's gonna be out in JANUARY, DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN. And then his brother came, SORRY I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME. and Keith "introduces" me to his brother. Then tells me "i'll be right back".... the MAGICAL words.... Keith will NEVER be right back....... NEVER...... and i do mean it cause he's said it to me at least 4 times and he has NEVER come back!
So i ended up talking to the brother who was actually really friendly. I kinda didn't think he was that approachable when i saw him those two times at in LA, but you know what? immiediately after i was introduced to him, he was totally friendly.... like Keith i guess... =)
So we talked about DAYS AWAY IN PHILADELPHIA SHOWSSSSSSSS *heartbreaks* and then i asked him about keith and what's keith's like cause i told him that Keith REALLY DO NOT KEEP TO HIS WORDS wuahahahahahha... and he told me "yeah... keith's a REALLY REALLY nice guy.... but his words... nah, you can never trust what he says," heh. And I asked him what Keith's like and he told me "Keith likes real people" and i asked him waht he means by that... he told me that Keith like those people who talk to him about more than just music (*elaine's failure pt 1. *takes note*).... But hellz, i am REAL. wtf. i love you guys as you are man. shite! And i told him how sad i was sometimes that Days Away been around so long but their pit crowd's still really small... And i wished more people was in there. Then we got talking about Phily again and i told him how i wanted to go for the Syracuse show in August, but he told me to wait out a few months and fly in to Phily instead and so that's what i'm gonan do!!!
We also talked about how much we loved the band for their music, from their heart... and u know.. with Days Away.... that much is very apparent that they make music that is from their hearts and seriously, they are one hell of a talented band too... Especially when they're setting up, you can really see it... Keith will start playing some random riff, then Tim joins in on the drums followed very closely by amazing accompanying basslines from Chris, then Austin joins in with the guitar solos.... and EVERYTHING is done Impromptu!
.... Format came on and i watched their set abit and then Robbie asked if i wanted to leave... I wanted to take a pic with the band so we tried our luck at the merch booth which of course WAS EMPTY..... So we waited around to see who we could catch, but MANNNNNN NO ONE WAS AROUND!! i mean shite, they had 5 guys in the band, 2 merch guy: Mitch and Keith's bro but NO ONE WAS AROUND!! geezzzzz
FINALLY though, i was glad I caught Tim and I told him i was gonna be leaving so he gave me a biggie hug hehe.... and i wanted to say goodbye to them.... and COULD NOT FIND THE BAND.... So Tim offered to go look for the band so he left and i told him to COME BACK TOO cause i wanted a pic with them... (YOU MUST SAY THAT OTHERWISE *POOF!* YOU WON'T SEE THEM AGAIN!!!)....
Then like 5 mins later, Austin came out and asked wassup. and i told him i was leaving and he thanked me for coming out then we talked about abt the PA show then we hugged... Then we took a nice pic.... Then i told him how impossible it is to get the whole band together and Keith is ALWAYS, ALWAYS MIA and how you can't trust what Keith says... and Austin said "you can't trust any of what we say," heh, then he said to me "I'll be right back elaine" hahahahah.....
Then Chris came out BUT YET STILL... dear ol Keith was missing.... So i was standing with Austin and Tim and Tim and me talked abit... hehe, Tim's cute... he treats me real nice, seriously, he does.... and so we talked and then i complained it was IMPOSSIBLE to get the band together for a pic and Keith was still missing... and he offered to go look for Keith for me cause he couldn't find keith the first time...
Then i waited another 5 minutes and FINALLY Keith came out with Mitch and Brian and i told him i was gonna leave so he gave me a hug... then i called him a butterfly hahahahahahah... and mitch and brian insulted him hahahaha.... and then i looked at him and i was like "what?!" and he was like merajuk way said "you called me a butterfly" and i told him "Cause you are one!" and he was like "i am not!" and then i told him, "you have two choices, a) butterfly or b) anti-social" and he was like "phfftt" look... heheheh... and tim was like "Keith anti-social??? He's like chatting ALL THE TIME!!" and Keith was like "yeah, see... chatting" hehehe...
anyways... erm... then we all took a pic... Me and then Tim came over and took a pic too and the lead singer of Steel Train came in too... so we took a 4 ppl pic... hehehe... THEN.... Tim was looking at me and he all eyes rolling (in a cute way) was like "you want a pic with just you and keith don't you?" wauahahahahhaha.... I TELL YOU!!! Tim knows some shit that erm.... some people in the band might be oblivious to!! hahahah... SERIOUSLY!!! Tim knows I like KEith hehehehe.... cause even at the Chain Reaction show TIm asked "wanna say hi to KEITH?" Why not anyone else in the band?! or "the rest of the band?" instead!!! Anyways then I said "yeah yeah i do!" and Tim was like "yeah cause Keith's so delicious" or something along that lines!! hahaha... so keith hugged me and we took a pic and he was in his butterfly pose and Tim took the pic but there was no flash so we retook a pic and Keith was STILL in his butterfly pose and tim was like "why are you standing like that man?" and Keith was like "cause i'm a butterfly" so we gave a butterfly pose and took a pic...
Then i also took a pic with Tim and he CARRIED ME!!! damnnnnnnnn me so fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahah and i told Tim "DOn"T break your back cause i'm not gonna be responsible for a cancelled tour ok!!!" hehehe cute lah, cute.
Anyways, yeah, so after that we went to the bar abit cause the rest of the band was at the bar... Then i had to leave so i went to hug everyone... hmmm.... I think i hugged Chris, then Austin he told me to take care, then i hugged Keith's bro and told him i'll see him in Phily, then i hugged mitch and he told me to have a good one, and then it was Tim and he told me have a safe trip, flight, etc and thanked me for coming to support... and then i hugged keith and told him to come back to CA soon and he said they will (BUT CAN WE TRUST WHAT HE SAYS??????), and he told me he'll watch the video and msg me online on myspace and stuff... hmm... either him or Tim will reply, or something =) and i told him HE BETTER do it.. heh, but as always... it's Keith, he never listens.
Well so that's my day with days away... gonna develop the pics later to see how it turns out... hope it's good... hehe....
I'm kinda sad though that i only really know 3/5th or 1/2 of Days Away well.... like i'm cool with only 1/2 the band.... Like I feel really okay when I hang around Days Away only when either Keith, Tim or Austin are there.... Like if Chris was there, I don't dare.... and I don't know Brian cause Brian's new in the band too.... and Martin, i don't really know how to talk to him and so I can really only "hang out" with Keith, Tim or Austin.... anyone else, i'll just feel too out of place and just too shy.... I just think that they think that i am annoying, with Chris and with martin, but i don't think they think that,... just that i think only, you know... but i don't think they're like that cause they're usually cool with me too...
Oh well...
so i had my pics and my fun. thank You God..
I'll miss you Days Away, and i'm sorry.... Thanks for the good time, and please, i hope i'll see you soon. take care.
love always in the pit,
Elaine
