My last post was in May '08. I really need to get on here more.
And add more of my PFC buddies. :)

So now I leave you with a video (because my life has officially been consumed by American Idol 8):


THIS IS GENIUS. KUDOS TO THE AMAZING PERSON THAT MADE IT. :D

The story behind it: I couldn't think of anything else. It's my username on the Paramore Fan Club. It's 2 of their song's names mashed up. Not that creative, huh? 

Wow, I am actually not lazy right now.


Well, THANK GOD FOR HARD ROCK ALL ACCESS PASSES!

When we arrived in Orlando, we ate at Hard Rock Cafe. It was there that our waitress told us about the All Access pass and that we could cut the line with it. It was only $26 so of course we got it.



So, the first band to play was Conditions.

Totally awesome.
And hot guitarist.

There many aspects during their performance that got me totally hyped up:

1. Their music was amazing.
2. I looked off stage towards the left and saw the one and only Josh Farro watching them.
3. I looked off stage towards the right and saw Zac Farro also watching them. =D
4. The band was very energetic.

They were also really nice when we met them and got a picture.


The second opening act was Meese.

They were really good. Their music was the most mellow out of the 3 opening acts.
I really enjoyed their performance.


The last opening act was Phantom Planet.

THE BEST OUT OF THE OPENING ACTS!

I can’t say enough about how awesome they were.
I also met them and they were soooooo nice.
Not to mention, a VERY good looking bassist.
Heck yes.
Their interaction with the crowd was phenomenal.

Also, remember the theme song to the O.C.?
The song called ’California’?

Haha, it totally blanked my mind that they sung that song.




AND THEN THE ONE AND ONLY PARAMORE!!!

My heart went racing when I saw Zac get behind the drums at the beginning. This was what I was waiting for.
They started off with ’Let The Flames Begin’.

There were 4 parts I COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY FREAKED OUT to:

1. They performed ’When It Rains’ ACOUSTIC! (Watch this - if you are bored or feel like it = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_mo9hp1GSE)
2. They played a Jimmy Eat World song and it was ’Sweetness’! My favorite!!
3. They played ’My Heart’ with just Hayley playing the keyboards at the beginning and the guitars jumped in with Josh’s screaming. =D
4. When they played ’Pressure’, Josh and Jeremy did the trademark flip in the middle of the song and Jeremy finally came to our side of the stage!

ACTUALLY, I freaked out to everything.

Oh yes, they also played ’Stop This Song’.
One of the best b-sides I’ve heard by a band.
And the first time I’ve seen a band perform a b-side. =]

They played an even amount of songs from both ’All We Know Is Falling’ and ’Riot!’.
=D

Now I am even more super psyched when I hear their music.
Just because I remember hearing that live. =D

Even when I saw Josh and Zac during the Conditions performance I couldn’t believe that it was actually them.
Its exactly like the pictures, videos, etc.
Same with Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor.

Jeremy looked AMAZING!
Hayley’s hair was cut to about shoulder length or shorter and she had straight across bangs again. She was also wearing that white ’Riot’ sleeveless tee (for people who know what I’m talking about.)
I LOVE TAYLOR YORK’S HAIR!
Haha, It is so curly and even more amazing live. He didn’t really come over to our side but it was still awesome to see him. =]


Hayley played the keyboards for ’When It Rains’ and ’My Heart’.

I loved how she introduced ’When It Rains’.
She said "Let’s get emo for a minute."

Hayley = TRUELY AMAZING VOCALS, interacted with the crowd soooo well, definition of pretty.
Zac = GORGEOUS. KICK ASS ON THE DRUMS!! Come on, he’s Zac. I love him. =]
Josh = A KILLER guitarist and EVEN MORE AMAZING screamer and singer. Not to mention, hot.
Jeremy = SOOOO ENERGETIC!! I love the guy. He was also looking very good looking.
Taylor = AMAZING GUITARIST. Did I mention how I LOVE his curly locks?


They closed off the show with ’My Heart’, but did an encore with ’Emergency’ and ’Misery Business’.

LOL, I was acting all crazy during ’Misery Business’ and that was when I realized that my once straight hair was definitely no longer straight and totally covered in sweat. Haha.


AWESOME, AMAZING, WONDERFUL, KICK ASS, PHENOMENAL SHOW!!!!!


Although, it is somewhat hard trying to take pictures of your favorite member when he is the drummer. XD



Merch:


The merch "line" for Paramore was worse than being packed in like sardines. It was worth it though.
Considering that I got the following:
1. Red ’Misery Business’ shirt.
2. ’Crushcrushcrush’ tote bag (that I have been totally in love with and have been wanting to get FOREVER!)
3. Glossy poster of the band (that I am staring at on my wall right now)


Later,
I got a white Phantom Planet shirt.
And since all the members of Phantom Planet were there, I took pictures with all of them and had them sign my shirt.

And a few of the members of Conditions were there so we took a picture with them.






AWESOME NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
