OKAY, so here goes.
Erica and I arrived in line at
9:30am. Thaaa's right, ladies and gents, in total we spent
16 hours at the docks.
The fear of rain was swept away as we sat under the covered line up thing. hmm. anyways, we were first, followed by michelle and mariko (off the boards, canadian and rainbow) at 10. chatting ensued, as did more arrivals, but slightly later. We sat on garbage bags, and it was comfortable at this point.
Food that day included some cereal and a granola bar, I do not know how I managed to stay conscious.
Michelle's boyfriend, James, showed up. Ah, another familiar face. across the street some car show was happening, which pretty much meant a load of whores in practically nothing, and men with huge ego's parading their jumping cars. It was amusing, at least, but there was ths guy on a mic who was very annoying, and rap music on constantly.
the security guard gave me water for being the first person there, awh.
when the soundcheck started, I started freaking out. I thought I was over that, but apparently not. I started recignizing the songs when someone opened the doors, to the point that people were kind of weirded out that I was accomplishing it, haha, so conversations started!
Met a few guys from Sarnia who are in a band, I recall one's name was brock, and another ...Nick? anyways. Awesome guys.
My ass hurts and I am exhausted.
Dom and Chris walk by, WHAT? yes. They walk by to go go carting across the street.

I took a photo on my phone of them in inteeense motion on the way back. I think it's hilarious. Dom was wearing yellow pants. silly, I know, but they matched my dress!
All right, so moving along, the line starts squeeeezing forward for security check, and some intense frisking occurs. And now I'm stuck standing. Anyways. Line goes in, and Erica and I are sure we're first, and so is everyone else. except this one girl. but she didn't succeed. hahah.
A little to the left on the barracade for matthew viewing pleasure, and we get brock and michelle to save our spots as we buy merch. It was hard to get back in. Oh well.
Cloud room opens. they were okay. Lead guy pulled too many jesus poses, but yeah. Overall, good.
Ahh then MUSEMUSEMUSE, my loves. Set list as follows:

knights of cydonia
YES. Okay. So crowd was like, worse than arctic monkeys. I had at least 4 crowd surfers go right over me, and pull my neck right down and over the barracade, which hurt like a mother fucker. The barracade was moving, for chrissake. And these two guys towards the end made their way in between me and brock which really pissed me off, they did not deserve to be at the goddamn front.
After the show, we're waiting around to see if we can get anything, brock's brother gets a drum stick. Suddenly, as we're going to leave, I SPOT KIRKY. YESS. Okay, guys, some of you should know I am relatively shy, but what came over me last night, I have no idea, but it's nuts.
I run up to him, all Tom Tom! This is my fourth show, I'm always at the front, and I still don't have a setlist, could you please get me one? pleease?
"I just gave one to a twelve year old, I'm sorry"
Haha, I know who the 12 year old was. anyways. I go on talking to him about waiting from 9:30, haha, asked if he remembered us from buffalo. He said yes, I was just like 'you're lying!' and he claimed he never lies. awh. such a lie. Anyways, I would not let him leave. I was just like 'yeah! when you arrived you walked past us without saying hi, and he was all I'm sorry! And it was hilarious and ohmygod allie what are you doing talking to tom kirk like he's a nobody. OOOH we got on the guestlist for montreal! But that's tonight and impossible to get to. I'm seeing if I can switch that offer to V festival, hehe. We say bye.
Then at the merch table erica taps me, tom had given her a setlist 'for her friend', thats ME! WHOOO!
ANYWAYS, we go out to wait at the busses, erica, michelle, mariko, brock and band, james, others? Waiting, and a van pulls up in front of the busses, and I see dom and others get in. I shake my fist at dom, hahaha, I think he saw. The van starts pulling away, but then it turns around and the doors open. YESSS.
Okay, so I run up to Chris, and that same things happens that happened with Tom, and I am chatting it up like nothing else. amazing show, I'm sorry to bug you, could you sign this?(BH&R) I went on and on about how I didn't want to bug him! hahaha, then got a photo, YESSS. HE IS NUTS, I love him.

YESSS. Then chatted it up a little with matt, Reached my hand out to shake his! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT WHAT THE HELL. Got him and dom to sign my CD, and got a photo with them and michelle, which was on a disposable, so no photo yet.
Did I mention this whole time I was majorly pissing Dom the tour manager off because they were honestly going to leave, and I was just like NO WAIT. HAH. yesss.
Cabbed it home. Lovely night. I think I'm in love with Tom Kirk.
