what the hell?!

i just fucking realized that i never blogged after i went to jamboree!!!!! dammit, why am i so fucking slow?! ok, well jamboree was on saturday june 4 & today happens to be thursday july 7....a little late on this one lol. ok so jamboree was the shit. red jumpsuit apparatus was really good. surprisingly i wasnt completely bored & theyre new single "reap" is really good; already have it on my ipod. the next band up to perform was a band called greek fire....never heard of them. BUT i was pleasantly surprised & must say that aside from 30STM, i think they were my favorite set of the night :D they were so good!!!!! this is rare, but this is a band where i find every memeber attractive :) the lead singer (Phil "Moon" Sneed) and the lead guitarist (Ryan Phillips) are from story of the year (amazing) and they formed greek fire and i dont know, theyre just really good. i love everything about them. theyre songs are all really good, the energy they bring on stage is absolutely thrilling & lively, theyre performance is breath-taking & they really know how to have fun and interact with the crowd. i was blown away to say the least. actually, im listening to them right no won my ipod :) my favorite song by them as of right now is "break me down" yes, its absolutely amazing and i crank the car stereo when i turn it on. anyway, the next band up was anberlin & they were really great. so glad they played "feel good drag". next was AWOLNATION (or maybe AWOL came before anberlin? idk) anywho, yes, very good band. the only song i knew was "sail" but i really liked "soul wars". i also got my little sister into listening to them :) *success* after AWOLNATION was sum 41. never saw they live before but they were really good. lots of energy & responded really well to the crowd. the worst performance of the night goes to.......*drum roll*......ed kowalcik (sp?) from live. OH MY EFFING GAWDDDDDDDD me and anna wanted to fucking shoot ourselves!!!!!!!!! every damn song sounded the same and it felt like his set was never ending! :/ that would have been a good time for a bathroom break if we had had seats. oh well, we had to endure it. the first big headliner was pap roach. kate saw them when they opened for nickelsuck (aka nickelback) and said they were excellenc...and she was right :) mmmmm, jacoby shaddix <3 and the guitar player totally had a crush on me and anna ;) they really brought a lot of energy too. i was surprised that there was no moshing though. in all honesty, i thought that as soon as they came out everyone was going to push to the front and we would be squashed because we were in the very front against barracade, but we werent which was good :) papa roach was awesome and i really hope to see them live again some day. next main headliner was seether......fucking YAWN! gosh, next time guys, at least pack your enthusiasm when you hit the road. jeez. after every song the lead singer said :thank you" then walked off stage to get a drink of water. then they just walked off stage like nbd, good lord. long story short, the reason i went to jamboree was to see 30 seconds to mars. they were the main and final headliner. since this was one of their last shows in the US for quite some time (talking a break after this world tour) they were the big band that 3/4 of the crowd was there to see. THEY WERE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i havent even gotten to the good part about their performance. anyway, lemme build up to it lol. so they came out to "escape" and then they played "NOTH" i dont remember the order but they also played "TIW", "ABL", "attack", "search&destroy", "CTTE", the chorus to "hurricane" on acoustic, and they closed it with "K+Q". so i got some super amazing pictures that might be a little too epic to put on this post, but maybe if youre good ill consider it ;)so i was practically 5 feet from jared leto and a few times i was about 5 feet from tomo. unfortunately i didnt get a chance to see shanimal because i was on tomo's side of the stage, its ok, i know he was there. haha. i saw him come out and watched him do the drum intro to "escapse, after that, i really couldnt see him. so they were just incredible and before they played "CTTE", jared called about 10 people up on stage to dance and jump around and whatnot. they i think after "CTTE" he did the chrous to "hurricane" on acoustic then it was time for "K+Q". as allMARS family members know, K+Q is your chance to get up on stage and sing/dance/jump/act a fuckin fool on stage with the guys. so jared is walking around pointing people out in the crowd to come up on stage for the song. he points out the guy standing next to me, the girl behind me and guy standing next to anna (dammit). they, because we Echelon are all fucking crazy, everyone deceided they needed to go up on stage and jared wasnt stopping anyone. the more the fucking merrier :) so people started hoisting themselves over other people and crowd surfing to the front and running up on stage hahaha. so i started jumping trying to throw myself over the barracde, but so many people were shoving and this was after jared told everyone to take 3 big steps forward lol so im obviously presed against the bar with no where to go. then i deceide to start screaming at the guard to get me out and i must have looked like i was in pain from the way he was looking at me hahaha, fucking natural born actor right here. the first guard kept shaking his head no like "no im not pulling you out" (thanks alot douche) so then i got another guard's attention and started pulling on the sleeve of his shirt to get his attention.....with a little convincing, a lot of screaming and most likely a painful look on my face, he pulled me over the bar (my ass crack was totally making an appearence) and i ran up on stage to jump and act like a crazy mofo with my all time favorite band in the world <3 :D yes, i was fucking on stage at my very first 30STM show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (even thought it really wasnt their show, but who fucking cares) i took a video of being up there and jared walking really close by me and of tomo standing 3 inches from me. again, i was shaken that i dont even think it crossed my mind to go over by shannon :/ its ok because when they were done i got a couple pictures of his drumset :) it was so exhilerating!!!!! i really cant even describe how an experience like that feels! <3 there was so much going through my brain. i honestly dont even remember if i was singing along to K+Q or not lol. anyway the last thing jared said was that he will never ever forget that night, dont worry, jay, neither will i :) luckily it wasnt hard to find anna sice she was right in the front. after i got some pictures, i found her and, no joke, started crying (dont worry, they were tears of joy) i was THAT happy :D i bought a MARS shirt and we walked out to where my mom was picking us up and when my mom asked what was wrong i started crying again because i still couldnt believe what had happened. im seriously so weird, but i love it. anyway, i cannot believe i forgot to mention jamboree! good fricking lord. well since i forgot to mention that concert, that made this post 10 fucking times longer than i wanted it to be. ill post a seperate one with what i really wanted to say hahaha. sicne you were so nice and read all the way until the end, ill post a picture that i took of jared leto standing right in front of me and anna on stage :) ENJOY! <3
