Papaparamore

that was a dream come true show.
when the drapes fell and Hayley started jumping, head-banging and spat in the air, I had this insane I'm-in-heaven feeling in my heart. I am still digesting and trying so hard to recall that night, it felt so fast and so dream-like. It's going to take a while to sink in. I miss them terribly. the best show of my life. I'm surprised that I didn't cry when I saw all five of them on stage. I was so overwhelmed that I automatically engaged myself to the songs and set myself on auto-headbang mode.

I tried to take nice photos half the time, but Hayley was like a wild red-headed omnivorous beast that bolt from one end to another, I couldn't even focus on her for two seconds. So on certain songs I just turned off my camera and enjoyed the freaking show. Almost for the whole show, I had to re-assure myself that I was really at the show and Josh & Zac just waved at me and Hayley heard me screaming "I love you Hayley!" and Jeremy was slapping that damn bass just a few feet away from me and Taylor was at the far right end.

I was ecstatic, in pain, tired and a little annoyed cause a lot of people fainted on my side and the guards had to pull them out of the crowd. But the hell with it, I was in a Paramore show!

I loved how the Farro brothers always give eye contact. and I had countless eye-contact with Josh before finally waving at him and screamed "Hi Josh!" , when he waved back with a smile, I just felt like I've accomplish something crucial in my life.lol. Then I tried it with Zac in between the songs and he too waved back :).

And near the end of the show, Hayley decided to torture me with the possibility of being on stage with her. THEN she chose the dude next to me. Y u Crush crush crush my heart. lol it's ok I will try harder next time.

At the end of the show, I was drenched in warm gig-sweat with a happy heart and a guitar pick richer (after begging the guard and threatening his dear life). har har. I also have bruises on my knees from the pressure of the crowd pinning me to the barricade, so proud of them. My Paramore show bruises.



OK now I have to go do something useful like lying down and breathing.

PS: Hayley said we're sucked into the family and it is for life :) My wife is awesome.
