Wow. What a day.

Yesterday, I went to see All Time Low in concert. I already mentioned it in a previous post (the post before this? Can't remember and I'm too lazy to look it up.) Anyway, yesterday turned from what I thought would be pretty cool to probably one of the best days of my life.

First thing was, I had to go alone. I'd tried asking around, but no one wanted to go with me. I was sulking a little around Den Bosch, being a little bummed about this, when suddenly someone bounces up to me.

'Omg, your tattoo says Nothing Personal, is that ATL related, are you also going?'

I pointed at my ATL shirt and said yes. The girl had a large group with her, we chatted a little, and after five minutes we had decided I would join them for the evening.

Hurray! People to talk to and have fun with! :D

I had proven quickly enough that I was gonna be fun to hang around with when one of the guys said, in regards to my collar, that his dog had the same one, and I replied his dog must have a lot of style then.

Anyway, we were in the train to Tilburg, arrived, and had to find 013. This was a little harder than it looked, but we managed. Cue waiting for about 45 minutes until the venue opened, but that was okay. We talked some more, played some ATL on someone's phone, a band was handing out free CDs, it was all good.

Suddenly, everyone starts rushing towards the door. We scramble up, make a beeline for it, only to be jammed together in the mad crush of fangirls. Ugh. Whatever happened to neat lines? We did manage to get a little closer to the door than we originally were in the line, so that was good.

After a while, we finally got in. The venue was still pretty much empty, so we found good spots (equivalent to second row, to the left of the stage, where Jack usually plays) and waited.

Seriously, concerts are about 75% waiting, 25% listening to music.

The opening act  (Colussa) wasn't bad. It's not something I'm gonna look up, but it was passable. ATL was scheduled to start at 9, but naturally, being the awesome band that they are, they started at 8.50pm and continued until 10.10pm (scheduled until 10.15). They started out as always, with Lost in Stereo, Damned and Stella, which was cool. I like all of those songs and Lost in Stereo is just a great song to start with. Coffee Shop Soundtrack (my personal favourite) was also played in the beginning, which made me very happy. I love them.

They played most, if not all of my favourites (well, I missed Paint You Wings but they did play Outlines, and then I had hearts in my eyes) and they were on a roll with banter. I'm even more convinced Jalex exists now. (Especially when Jack was on his knees in front of Alex, playing the guitar. Yay!)

You'd think the story was over here, didn't you? Concert was nice, I met a bunch of people, that's about it, right?

Wrong :D

I had to be in Eindhoven at 00.06, because I had to get the last bus. Lo and behold, I missed that. By a long shot. We took a wrong turn somewhere walking back from 013 to Central and we were really fucking late.

Originally, the idea was that I would go to Eindhoven anyway, get a cab and see how much it would set me back. After long deliberation, the group convinced me to go with them to Den Bosch and see what I could do from there - if all failed, I could come with them and they would take care of me.

We go to Den Bosch, walk towards the bus that had to get us to Oss, and this is where the absolute best part happens.

The bus driver hears that we all missed our busses and would have to walk a long way. He asked where we had to go. (I told him my original destination). He offered to drive us there. Seriously. There was no one else in the bus, so he could leave for those places immediately. First, he dropped off the group, and it turned out that he was due for a break because he was legally not allowed to drive any further before taking a 45 minute break. Well. So we all head inside, all get an energy drink (even the bus driver), share more stories and have fun in general.

After those 45 minutes (and a couple more pictures) the bus driver and me left, and the bus driver dropped me off at the house I was supposed to be.

I cannot believe how everything worked out last night. It went from 'this will probably be fun' to 'omfg this is awesome' to 'why can't I go home anymore whyyyyyy' to 'the best night of my life'.

Today, I'm a little bit in love with everyone thanks to yesterday.

Of course, I have to work tonight, that'll put a stop to that quickly enough, but it's fun while it lasts. :)
