Give it time, it'll happen =] haha.

When AWKIF came out, I tried getting my best friend into them. Bought her a copy, swore it she would love them. She didn't even give them a chance...

So I gave up.

Almost 2 years later, I take her to Warped 07 just for fun, and we meet them and see them live. She buys RIOT! that day, and is now as big of a fan as I. She gets mad at herself now for not falling in love with AWKIF back in 2005.

Just takes some people time [or a live performance/meeting?] =]

Haha, figures I already placed my FBR webstore Christmas order last week...

But, I ordered it anyway. I'm SUCH a sucker for limited edition.

Awesome!

Ah, can't believe the tour is over

But, Gold = 500,000 copies sold

Platinum = 1,000,000 copies sold.

Is Hayley confused? Haha.

I bought one last week, and returned it.

It's way too thin, same material that the all over RIOT! shirt was made of.

If it was made of higher quality stuff, I would have kept it. Or maybe was a little cheaper...

I love the RIOT! design, but I already have the shirt and bag....so I think i'm good haha.

Oh, and if any guys are going to buy it..i'm a little over 6 feet tall, and really skinny...and the only size that fit me was an XL, so it's pretty small, so keep that in mind.

Haha, love these.

Met the head of Kreative Films outside the warfield in San Fran, he recorded me and my best friend talking....supposedly it's going to be in the next episode of Being Crazy....haha oh god

I was sad they were out of the zip-up hoodies at the San Francisco date...

But I bought a lot of stuff. The RIOT TOUR shirt is my favorite. Usually I hate when there are pictures of bands on shirts, but this shirt...I dunno, it works.

Glad everyone likes it Haha, I knew it would make people laugh!

and yeah, feel free to make animations. Credit for the video would be appreciated, though =]

I've been really busy lately, but I'll upload it for download soon. and if ParamoreFans wants, it can be an exclusive download in the media section, since this is the only Paramore site i'm really active at.

Alright, so at the Helio Meet and Greet a couple nights ago, somehow the subject of the song "Crank That" by Soulja Boy came up. Josh and I were talking and saying how we disliked the song, and then Hayley began to do the dance that's in the music video. So I asked her if I could video it, and my friend rapped the song....

and well, it's pretty funny. Only 17 seconds, but having Hayley dance for you at a meet and greet....priceless.

Enjoy.

(If you want to use it, ask and I'll upload the actual video to YouSendIt or something )

Sadly, I can't come to the NSSL

I'm taking this class at the local community college, and there's a mandatory meeting THAT night, and if I miss, I fail the class.

I'm so mad. But, last night makes up for it

The best concert I've ever been to. No lies.

Thank you again SO much Ryan for the meet and greets. That was so amazing! I can't thank you enough.

I'll have pictures and stuff soon, videos too.

I have a video of Hayley dancing to the Soulja Boy song at the Meet and Greet....I think you guys will like it. It's so funny....

But yeah, will update tonight or tomorrow with stuff

that lineup is dope except for the whole angels and airwaves portion.

 

i'm going to try and go. do the tickets normally sell out really fast? because i know in la when there are kroq holiday radio shows they tend to sell out in like 15 minutes.

DO IT.

and we'll go together with ostriches, and all the fixings.

I'm REALLY hoping my parents will let me go. But seeing that i'm seeing Paramore on Thursday, and Avril on Dec 1st, i'm...not sure.

But damn, I hope I can go.

Yeah, I think that's probably it.

Wow, that's awesome if it's true. My parents are not going to be happy when I beg them to let me see them again...within a month of this show hahaha.

Ok... So I was doing a bit of that web surfing that's been all the craze lately and came across this..

Both these sites are selling tickets to a Paramore show on Dec. 7th at the Bill Graham Civic Center in SF. But not even the Bill Graham site has them playing there on that date, and I can't find any other confirmation. Can anyone confirm they will actually be playing there and I can see them almost one month to the day after the Warfield show?:hyper:

Interesting. I was speculating that maybe Paramore might be a part of Live 105's "Not So Silent Night" concert. This date is right around the time they usually have that every year too...

So maybe it's that? Though i've heard no official confirmation from Live 105 about bands playing this year, yet...

I'm planing to be there at 9ish, I've been there before, there's a mall a block down the street and the Warefield is right next door to a strip club called "The Crazy Horse"

Sweet, thanks for the info. I'll def see you early in line!

Hahaha Steph! Ooh, really? Well then. I guess that's good news for me.

6 days, so excited.

What time is everyone going to try and get there?

I got to the past Slim's shows around 12 or 1 PM, and wasn't front row. I kinda doubt i'll be front row this time, seeing that the fanclub members get in before us anyway But maybe I'll luck out...

But gonna get there way before 1 PM this time though. Hopefully mid morning....

Anyone been to The Warfield before?

If you guys come early, you should find me and get some stickers and posters from me. I have SOO much promo stuff I doubt I'll even use it all at this show.

I think Gloria and I tried to find you at the last show, but couldn't haha.

If you could save a couple posters for me and my best friend, that'd be freakin awesome! I'll be there pretty early also..

Anyone going to this show, add me on myspace or somethin. http://www.myspace.com/lanizzle

and don't be shy if you see me in line haha, it's gonna be a long day waiting as always....it's fun to associate with other fans in line

p.s: AWESOME shirt MarMaramore!

i wanna go to this show!!!!!

 

me and lane would've been the ones singing supernova girl while riding ostriches.

HAHAHA<3

Ahh, one day Steph....we will attack ALL the California Paramore shows together....

In a big bus...full of Britney, Zenon, and Ostriches.

It's so good to see more Bay Area Paramore fans on these boards...

When I first joined, I was one of very few active members who were from here....

This show is going to kick so much ass, the Warfield is such an awesome venue [besides their strict camera policy]!

I'm sad I didn't get a meet and greet for the show. Really sucks. But i'll be getting there really early with my best friend anyway...

I'll be there Ah, I rarely post on these boards anymore

6th time seeing Paramore, yay!

Can't wait.

According to official Soundscan numbers this week:

4 FUER 44 48 54 PARAMORE RIOT! 13,456 -7 14,511 88,107

Almost 90K copies sold in 4 weeks.

Also, only a 7 percent decrease in sales.

It looks like Warped Tour and the buzz around Misery Business is keeping their sales pretty steady.

At this rate, it has a chance at hitting 100K next week!

Also, "Misery Business" made it's debut on the Billboard Hot 100...

at # 99!

-- 99 PARAMORE MISERY BUSINESS - SINGLE

A lot of the fans at the Mountain View warped tour weren't able to meet them at the signing

They cut it short, by about 15 minutes, cause they had other stuff to do I guess. I got in line 20 minutes before it even STARTED and I BARELY was able to meet them. They were cutting the line off RIGHT before I was about to go up to the booth. The only reason I got to go is because I showed the lady who was cutting the line all the merch I had on, and said how big of a fan I was. She looked around, and just said "go" and let me through. Ah it was so sweet! I was so happy...

It really made me realize how big they're getting. There were so many new fans....crazy amounts.

The crowd for their performance was huge also.

I got the dog tags, the sunglasses, and the hoodie yesterday...

The sunglasses broke in the crowd haha =[ but oh well.

I wanted that new RIOT! shirt (which Hayley was actually wearing at the signing haha), but I didn't have enough cash leftover.

Haha I feel like such a bad obsessed fan. I still haven't been able to get my copy.

But I am tomorrow, while driving down to San Jose. Going to Hot Topic to get two copies, one for me with the shirt, and one of just the CD for my friend who I just turned into a fan

"Stop This Song [Lovesick Melody]" is definitely my favorite non-album track. It's so well done and catchy.

Both the demos are good too. "Decoy" is great too.

ah, they're all good.

That's true...although in the case of a band like Paramore, who are still building a fanbase, you could potentially see sales stay very steady or even grow throughout the summer...

 

It's a snowball effect...a great first week gets them more press, more radio airplay, more attention...and more people find out about them...and buy the record...

That's very true. If they get more exposure, the sales could keep growing.

Ah this is so exciting to see.

Compared to last weeks chart, the number 20 album sold 34,766 copies. So this should for sure put them in the top 20. That's amazing.

At this rate they'll surpass AWKIF sales in 2 or 3 weeks.

I wouldn't say that. Album sales usually drop significantly after their first week, it's just how the music industry is

But "RIOT!" definitely has a good chance at passing the sales of "AWKIF" this summer.

That is amazing though. Very impressive, especially considering the status of the music industry today. Congrats to the band, they deserve it.
