So on Sunday, May 6th, I saw A Day To Remember FINALLY.
I'd been waiting for 167 (5 months, 6 days) days to see them!

I'm gonna tell you EEEEEEVERYTHING that happened. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

At 3:30 on Sunday, I went to pick my best friend Megan up at her house.
When we drove into downtown Pittsburgh and arrived at Stage AE, we were thinking no one would be at the venue  just yet. Or at least, not a lot of people.

Not a lot of people right?
Ha ha ha,
WRONG.

There were people lined up around the block!
No big deal, though.

So we got in line and waited.
Soon someone who worked at the venue said that anyone who bought tickets on Ticketfly.com (the only website you could get the tickets from) had to go to the box office at the front of the venue to exchange them for Ticketmaster tickets. I about had a panic attack, and sent Megan to follow the group of people who all had to exchange their tickets. I saved our spot in line, waiting anxiously.

"I'M NOT LEAVING THIS SPOT NO MATTER WHAT."

Anyway, so at 6:00 ish the doors opened, and we went inside to see where we could stand.

First, we go in the pit.

*In the voice of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons*: WORST. IDEA. EVER. If I could give it zero stars, I totally would; and I would write about it angrily in my BLOG.

I couldn't see anything, because there was this tall bitch in front of me who kept smirking back at me everytime she moved when I moved.
Bitch.



The first band that played was Title Fight.
They sucked.
Maybe it was just because they were live.
Good try though, Title Fight.

Some girl crowd surfed like a dumb ass and landed right on my head.
Didn't like that too much.

Some kid yelled 'GET OFF THE STAGE' at them.
Even if it was mean, I still *not really* peed.
People started pushing toward the front, so Megan and I migrated back to the lawn.


When they said A Day To Remember was playing next, I screamed.

We could see 1382787834723 times better by now.

15 minutes later, A Day To Remember comes on stage, and tears were already in my eyes.

Kevin Skaff smiles at the crowd, and I nearly shit my pants.

When Jeremy McKinnon screamed 'PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA!!!' I was like 'HEY THAT'S MY CITY!!!!'

They started out by playing The Downfall Of Us All, one of their more popular songs.

The whole crowd participated.

After that, Jeremy said 'It's great to be back in Pennsylvania, baby!' I died. They must like Pittsburgh because they've come here twice on two separate tours.

Then they played A Shot In The Dark, one of my personal favorites.

I had the whole 'A Day To Remember synchronized-headbanging' thing down flat.
NOBODY ELSE BUT THE BAND AND I DID SO +1000 DEDICATION POINTS FOR ME.

At the end of the song, I screamed 'I LOVE YOU KEVIN!!!!' at the top of my lungs.
People were legit staring.
I'll tell you right now
If Kevin would've said 'I love you too,' I would've legit shit shat? bricks.

Kevin picked up two HUMONGOUS beach balls and put them on his chest like they were unnatural boobs,
when Jeremy asked something along the lines of 'What's up, Kevin Skaff,' and I SCREAMEDDD. Anyway, then Kevin was like 'I'm making fake boobies with beach balls.' Hence the title of this journal. xD

Then they played I'm Made Of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of?
I wanted Mike Hranica to come out and scream his verse, but he didn't. D:
I screamed 'Where's Mike Hranica at?' when the verse was about to come on.
The little 'Ahem' part before that was epic because everyone in the place did it.
Or at least I think so.
I know I did it.

All Signs Point To Lauderdale I believe was right after. Maybe it was after 2nd Sucks, I'd have to watch the video for the 578834534 billionth time.  Good performance right there.
When the whole crowd sang 'Least I can say I stand for something!' that was amazing.

2nd Sucks was next. One of the best live performances they've ever done.
The whole crowd went insane.
I was one of them, so was Megan.
Kevin was really into it, too. ♥


I believe at one point after that or some time close to the next song or something, Kevin started playing a little diddy of a song and Jeremy was like 'We sing some weird shit around here. We could play some Britney Spears' or something along the lines of that. KEVIN LAUGHED LIKE A FUCKING SEX GOD and once again I screamed.
Moving on.
I do believe they played My Life For hire after that. That is my ultimate jam. Megan and I pissed our pants, essentially.
Jeremy waved at someone in the crowd all cutey-licious and I peed. He was also blowing kisses and I was just FSUFUSIFISIRUSJKL
Hmmmm.
I think they played You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic next. Jeremy sang the beginning of the chorus before they played the song a capella and it was so purdy.
Next I believe they played Homesick .
Jeremy went around in the inflatable ball, and he got so close to me I nearly stopped breathing.
Before they played the song, Kevin said something along the lines of 'I hope you guys have balls.' xD
Then Jeremy says 'Have you got my back, Pennsylvania?' I was likes 'YESSSS!!!!!'
KEVIN TOOK LEAD VOCALS FOR THE FIRST VERSE AND OH MY FUCK DID HE SOUND DELICIOUS.
Around this time of the concert I found out he can scream and ONCE AGAIN I SHIT MY PANTS.
Damn does he sound SEXY. The first time I heard it I screamed 'DAMN.'
Moving on.
Kevin was like 'What's up, Jer?!' as Jeremy was going around.
Then Jeremy got out of the ball and sang the rest of the song.
Qutie wonderful.

At one point Jeremy talked about how this was their last stop on their tour and they were going back home to Central Florida to finish their NEWWWW RECORD HOPEFULLY COMING OUT THIS SUMMER.
'Yeah, we got some JAMS for you guys!' he said.

BY DA WAY MY INITALS SPELL JAM
Fun fact for ya.
I think they played It's Complicated next. A guy dressed up as Gumby shot T shirts at people.
I unfortunately did not catch one.
Before they played the song, I said 'Sing the acoustic version!' The acoustic version is so beautiful.
When I saw the guy in the suit I was like 'OH MY GOD IT'S GUMBY.'
After that, Jeremy was like 'SHIT YEAH, PITTSBURGH.'
Then Kevin says 'I wanna hear everyone say 'Shit yeah.' Everyone does real quick. 'Ohoo they did!' Kevin says like a little cutie pooteyyy.
Jeremy was like 'Everyone say shit yeah on the count of three, ready? 1, 2, 3' Everybody screams Shit, Yeah!
THEN KEVIN
WAS LIKE
'Now everybody say Kevin is the hottest fuckin' thing ever, and I fuckin' love him...' when Neil Westfall interrupts him and is like 'Holy shit.' Kevin finishes with 'And ugh, I can't stand it.' I seriously was so close to repeating him. I mean, I say something like that on a daily basis soooo.
Jeremy says 'No one's gonna say that.'
I scream 'I WOULD SAY THAT!' Jeremy explains how he's from Florida and how he's a redneck. xD
'I'm from Florida, and I'm a redneck. Give me a break.' I love you bby.
Then Jeremy was like 'If you all can go out into the great blue yonder as use the saying 'Shit yeah,' I think the world would be a better place. Don't you agree?' I think Kevin or Neil said 'I do!'

Then they play Better Off This Way, but before they do, Jeremy says he wants everyone to crowd surf like they normally do, but get one of the close friends to stand on top of them. 'Crowd surfing on top of a crowd surfer,' he called it.
I was like 'Is that legal?'
Then I turn to Megan and say 'If you would ever to do that to me, I would disown you.'
She was like 'People are gonna break their necks!'
Neil was like 'I know you can fuckin' do it,' then chucks a pick into the crowd like the boss he is.
People did the crowd surfing thing, which was pretty awesome to see!

I do believe Have Faith In Me was next.
Jeremy was like 'Are there any ladies out there?' All the ladies, INCLUDING ME OF COURSE, scream.
So he dedicates the song to all da ladiez and it was beeaaaautiful.

All I Want was next. I just love that song.

The last song they did was The Plot To Bomb The Panhandle. That was so awesome! I love that song.
I dedicate to some one I used to be friends with.
It was a fantastic performance too!

At the end, Kevin and Josh Woodard, da bassist, run towards and past each other and jump like they most of the time do, and then Jeremy did the same thing wth Kevin.

BEST.







NIGHT.








EVER.

Too bad I didn't get to meet Kevin though. I would've died.

I also would've like to talk to the whole band and tell them that they've saved my life 5 times and are basically like my big brothers.

Make fun of me and I'll find you.

A lot of the fans were really rude.
A couple of them called me fat because I stood on my tip toes for two seconds to try and see the first band because the guitarist was cute as hell.
'YEAH OKAY OKAY YOU DO THAT, FAT ASS,' is what they said.

:iconrudegif:

I got me a new A Day To Rememebr hoodie, and a bracelet that says "Get The Fuck Over It" from their song 2nd Sucks in big capital letters and one of their logos.

I tipped the merch guy 1 dollar even though it should've been the contents of my wallet because he was working so hard and the mob of people were being rude to him. Well, most of them.

By the way, a bottle of Coke was 4 dollars.

DA FUQ NIGGA WHAT I LOOK LIKE A DAMN MONEY TREE

I watched a few seconds of Rise Against's set. I really wanted to go home and shower because I was all sweaty and smelled like beer because people were throwing it around like assholes.
Rise Against are fucking amazing life.
I screamed 'I LOVE YOU TIM,' which is their lead singer.
He has the coolest eyes ever.
One is blue and one is brown.
He's cuuuuuuuute.

ANYWAY THIS JOURNAL IS OVER NOW.

Did I mention this took 40 minutes to type.
Sooooo much stuff to mention.

If I could go back and do it again, I fucking would.
I got it allll on video.
I was closer than I thought I would be with how many people were there! It was a sold out show!
My friend said her boyfriend wanted to take her.
Nigga you don't even know this band, and you were just at a Marilyn Manson concert the day before, sit down.
Leave it to the real fans.
All these scene kids were there, I wanted to puke.

BUT YEAH KEVIN AND THFHSFHJSHFJKHFJKS
Oh and then I tweeted him yesterday saying they (as in A Day To Remember) killed it yesterday and how it was my first and definitely not my last time seeing them , and how they made Pittsburgh looked good.
