thebrowncoat Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Ok, so here's my post about the show... As I'm walking up to the club, I see Hayley wearing a big red afro wig standing by the van (and by the way - I just feel sorry for the band - they're all packed into this tiny van and Plain White T's, Straylight Run and Simple Plan all have huge buses)...she notices my shirt (I broke the official concert rules and wore my Paramore shirt and says "hey - nice shirt", so I say "nice hair." She comes over and I talked to her for a few minutes - she was telling me all about the show in PA on Halloween and how they all dressed up (and now we've got photos - yay!) I asked her if they would play "Hallelujah" and she said since they only get 5 songs on this tour, they're playing stuff off the album (perfectly understandable...) The show, of course, was great. They played the best version of "Pressure" I've ever heard them play - and they announced that the video's going to be on Fuse next week (so we all have to go vote for it in the Oven Fresh section!) They also played "All We Know", "Here We Go Again", "Whoa" and "My Heart." Too short, but ahh well. I managed to get right up to the front on the barricade for Paramore, so that was cool - Hayley seemed pleased that someone was singing along to every word and both she and Josh pointed me out a couple of times. After their set, I relinquished my spot - I'm too tall to stay up front and anyway, I wanted to go talk to the band. Managed to talk to everyone at one point or another - they set up a table in the lobby with their banner on it and hung out there for a long time between all the sets and after the show. They seemed like they were still having a great time touring, although Jason complained that they're always on tour and don't even have internet access so they have no idea what's going on with anything They were all excited about having the day off today - I believe the plan was to go see Saw II whereever they're staying in VA. They were also joking around about their $40 a night motel that they were staying in after the show. Josh told me he thinks I look like one of his friends. Zac spent a lot of time wearing some really huge heart-shaped sunglasses. And the guys in the band were impressed that I'd seen them 3 times - clearly, they should come by this board - I'm certainly not the only person who's seen them that many times Anyway, it was a great show and a great time. Now for the bad news. I have no decent pictures. The club wouldn't let anyone use anything other than a disposable camera or camera phones while the bands were playing - they were actually going out into the crowd and busting people they saw with digital cameras. I had asked about their policy beforehand and was told "no cameras", so I didn't even bring mine in. And I couldn't leave after Paramore's set to go get my camera out of the car because they wouldn't let you re-enter without paying again. So, that sucks. But, it was still an awesome night. And - random note - Hayley wore her favorite shirt again - the Yesterday's Rising one I should have asked her if that was her favorite shirt... Anyway, that was long and rambling and doesn't really do the night justice, but ahh well...I'm relatively sure I saw nikitask at the show, so I'm sure she'll add more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrowncoat Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'm pretty sure nikitask did have her digital camera with her...assuming the person I think was nikitask was nikitask...I didn't get a chance to talk to her... I should have brought mine in anyway, but I didn't want them to nail me for it at the door and send me back to my car. I wanted my front row spot...

thebrowncoat Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I know. I wish I could go to the show tomorrow night in Norfolk (which is about an hour from where I live in Richmond, VA), but the fact that you have to buy a Simple Plan phone to get a ticket just sucks. Not Paramore's fault though...I don't think they even know the show is that sort of "special" deal because I was telling Hayley they should come to Richmond and she asked me how close that was to Norfolk...

thebrowncoat Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 More like dumb Simple Plan. Alltel was also holding a raffle outside the club so 13 lucky fans could go backstage and meet Simple Plan. Or, you could meet a much better band without winning any sort of stupid contest I chose the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
