went to the Owl City/Lights/Paper Route concert. it was a lot less crazy than i had expected. i didn't go to my last class, so that i could get to the Fillmore earlier. a couple of my friends went on monday, and from what they told me, it was pretty crazy that first night. i'm lucky i went on the second night, because the more hardcore fans all went on the first night.
took the bus there, and i thought i wasn't going to make it in time to get a good spot in line. but then i got there and realized there was barely a line. there was a tour bus parked right outside the door that lead to backstage. i didn't really think anything of it, because those are usually the ones that they keep the band equipment in.
but when i walked past that door, i saw Valerie walk out. oh my fucking god! i flipped the shit out, and stood there stammering like an idiot. she walked out of the door and right into her tour bus, too quickly for me to process and realize that i just missed out on my chance of meeting her. i could've just died. so i stood outside of the tour bus for a while, hoping&praying that she would come back out.
of course, she didnt.
she probably could see me from the inside of her tour bus, i'm such a creeper. but i was really sad, having lost the chance of meeting her. but then i remembered something on her twitter that mentioned a meet and greet. so i went to the corner and scanned for a girl wearing a grey&white shirt. there was a line of about 15 people on that corner, and i saw a girl in navy&white stripes. i didn't think it was her, but i overheard people in line talking about seeing Lights, so i figured that was the line for the meet&greet.
i was so lucky, because i got my second chance to meet her!
paper route was pretty decent, and they played on a mini drum kit, it was pretty epic.
of course, Lights blew my mind, she's just too amazing.
owl city was pretty decent, he gave quite a nice show. but he's a classic example of a singer letting their newfound fame change who they were when they started. i miss the old adam.
i wanted to sign Valerie's tour book, but the lign was too long, so i just gave up. i got my picture with her, and it was more than enough♥
