Hey guys, just got back from Hollywood, and let me say, I'm happy to be alive.
First off, we weren't fortunate enough to get into Carson. We arrived a little too late, and were at the back of the line, and so we didn't get in. But, oh well.
The next day, Kayla and I met up with Kara! We were thrilled to meet her for the first time,(since she is our wifey!) and when we did, it was awesome.
Shortly after our meeting, we had gone to get ready, and we all walked to the Whiskey. By then, it was probably about 5:30. I swear, you would think we were going to a HIM concert there were so many kids wearing HIM shirts!
The line grew and grew, and around 7, when the doors were supposed to open, Jyrki and Bazie walked out! I had also just met Jo, aka Mama Trash, so I was already excited!
The guys had come out, I'm guessing, to get some shots of them for a DVD that was being done(and they had taken no hault in getting me and my girls in the shots. bleh. how rude). I was one of the annoying little girls, and ran out to grab a picture of them before they left. And I did!
The guys had all randomly walked back to their hotel, leaving us waiting anxious for the doors to open. When they finally did, we got in safely and made our way to the front.
Overall, the first two opening bands were good. I didn't care too much for Damone, but Program the Dead...their stage performance was exhilerating!
Finally, Bam Margera had walked down the stairs onto the stage, and everyone was screaming. He openly stated that they were filming for a DVD, and then introduced the 69 Eyes. Within seconds, Bam was gone(luckily) and Jyrki, Timo Timo, Bazie, Archzie, and Jussi were on their way onto the stage. Everyone went INSANE! I was forced against the guy in front of me, and let me just say...that had to have been the most painful nights of my life. *laughs*
Well, back to the show. They played a great set, and their energy was flawless. I was just thrilled I got to see Jussi! Watching him play is like watching the most beautiful sunset. It's so fixating and hard to take your eyes off of!
By the end of the show, we were all pretty worn down. The audience took no heed in being impolite and rude, so I was pretty aggrivated as well.
The night soon came to it's hault(not stop, just hault) and we went back to the hotel for a few minutes. I changed my shirt and fixed my wet hair and make-up, and within 20 minutes, my mom, Kara, Kayla, and I were standing in front of the Rainbow room. Now, since we're only 17, we were pretty astonished that we got in! When we got in, we weren't sure where to go, what to do, etc. etc. so we stood around, basically in awe that we were in the Rainbow Room. We saw Ben Graves and Eric Griffin a few times as well, which was pretty neat. We met up with Jo a few times, and around 2:00, we were getting ready to leave.
Now, let me state...my mother had already drank about 5 Long Islands, so she was kind of ditzed.
As we were getting ready to leave, we saw Bazie wander out of one of the 21+ rooms, and soon enough, Jussi too!
We stopped him, got a picture with him, and he signed mine and Kara's boobs, "Jussi's Bitch". He was soooo sweet, and I felt so bad for disturbing him in his time of pre-drunken "bliss".
Finally though, we left. Kind of...on our way out, we met some drunken/high guy who saw Kara getting signed, and he wanted to sign as well! He signed her, "Your sweet" and then my chest, opposite of Jussi's signature, "Pretti Things Die Hard" and then he signed Kayla's tummy he wrote, "I'm Your little sweetheart". It was funny...so anyway, we finally got out, and we were standing around outside. I had NO idea we were standing right next to Jyrki, and then Archzie was right next to us as well. Kara and I got signed by him as well, and then...things took a turn for the awkward.
My mother stepped in, and started "talking" to him. Soon enough, I look over and see he's cupping her face! haha. He kissed my mother like, 5 times. We got a picture of it, which I love.
Then, she was bound and determined to get Jyrki and Bazie, but everytime we pointed to Bazie, who was right next to us, she said, "no! That's not him!" So I pointed to Jussi and said, "Got get him for me!" And she kind of did.................haha. But I think he got scared of her and her drunkenness, which I don't blame him.
We left back to the hotel, and I was really disgruntled that we were so tired. I was hoping we'd be able to stay up and drink, but the exhaustion swept through us like air.
We all said goodnight, and in a very little amount of time, we were dead asleep.
All in all, it was a great night. Except the part I got basically killed and passed out. Haha. But it was a great show, and great party afterwards!
Here's some pictures I got!
My chest and Jussi's signature
My mother and Archzie. (I <3 how he had to pose!)
Kara, Jussi, and myself! Woot!
(I would post the others of Jussi's siggy on Kara's chest and what not, but I'd like to make sure it's all good with her. haha.)
Well, thanks you guys! Woot!
