Livin' on Luck: Meet me on 7th Street

You know how I always say Philly is such an easy drive from my house? This was the one time it WAS NOT; it took 3 hours for a usual 1 1/2 hour drive. The reason being "volume." Honestly, seeing this sign still makes me think homicidal thoughts.

Light at the end of the tunnel!

We were STARVING; I broke into the crackers which they made me throw away at the door, sob. We did a quick search for food, but only found the homeless and the ghetto. Melissa didn't want to get shot so we went back to the venue to wait until the line went in. We, also had to pee and the line was ridiculous. Luckily, being over 21 helped us yet again by being able to use the bathroom by the bar.

We were promised that even though this show was sold out, it would be much better than the previous nights.We kept ourselves occupied after eating chicken fingers.

The Electric Factory is a classy place.

We waited by the merch for about an hour because they told us to be there around 7:15, but they actually didn't realize that the show wasn't starting until 7:15. We saw Alex Greico come out so we assumed he knew what was happening so we creepily watched him. Then, Matt came out and a crowd of about 30 went to get passes. Of course, they ran out and we went to go out the door and we were like, "uh oh, we don't have passes." We went over to Greico and asked him so he walkie talkied Matt and Matt let us go with them. I asked Matt about the camel, but he said he didn't think it was there anymore except he was WRONG! They just rearranged.

We waited for the guys and they all piled in choosing a corner. Alex Gaskarth was the last one in and we were standing near the door, so he hesitantly walked over to us. I'm not sure if he thought we were just with our younger sisters or that we weren't screaming in his face, but it was awkward. I didn't know who he was because he looks different from the pictures I had seen previously. The fangirls were just silently spazzing to the right of me and Melissa was just standing there, so Alex came over and said hey to us. We said hey and then the 3 of us continued to stare at each other awkwardly for a solid 2 minutes. Then, I looked at Melissa and said, "do you wanna get a pic or something?" So, we did pictures and then another minute of awkward silence. Then, I asked about Bamboozle. They don't know which day but probably the first day, Alex Gaskarth told me.

We went over and sat on the couch waiting for Jack, but then Melissa noticed there was less people by Zack, so we went over there. I almost poked some girl with the foosball stick, sorry. I'm completely convinced that Zack remembered us from the night before, but we got pictures anyway.

Onto Jack who is by far the nicest and funniest. We got pictures and some how I'm not ever sure how, Hanson was brought up. I told him to never play the Croc Rock in Allentown again and we talked about overselling venues.

Let's be honest the real reason we were so stoked to be backstage was all the fun picture taking opportunities. So, we quickly ran over to Rian and got pictures.

NO CURFEW in Philly!

Sometimes we pretend we have musical abilities.

We had exhausted all the fun props in the room, so we were like why not talk to Alex Gaskarth again? Except I had found a water fountain and I was so very thirsty, but there were NO cups. It was a cruel joke life was playing on me and then Alex Gaskarth had to leave, so we didn't get to talk to him again.

We made our way back into the venue with the screaming girls and secured a spot in on the balconey which was not bad at all.

They moshed and crowd surfed anyway.

Apparently, Melissa and I missed the memo about getting naked and dancing in a circle, next time.

Last shows always entail pranks and this is what happens to the stage after a bunch of boys destroy it. Oh and those 2 random girls, who are they? and why were they so awkward?
