Day 147. May 28, 2009.

Day 2 of the Stay Awake Tour.  Same bands played at Chain.  Went with Catherine, D’ette and Diana.  Catherine and I were up to our usual shenanigans.  I don’t have much more to say about the bands, they were all pretty good again.  EA changed their set up a bit and B did an acoustic song with Mindy.  It was cool.  I don’t remember what else went on at the show.  A lot of craziness like usual.  I saw a TON of people I know which was nice for the most part.  Lots of weird stuff too. haha.  I believe we went to Sonic after.  Catherine and I couldn’t get any of the parking stalls to work so we just got out and ordered.  We had to get the blanket out of my trunk so we wouldn’t freeze.  Overall, another good night.

There were way too many people at the show so we had to stand over on the side of the stage so we could see.  This is one of the only good pictures I got.  Chase and Chris playing and singing and such.

146/365. Eye Alaska.

Day 146. May 27, 2009.

So on the 27th I had work.  After work I drove down to Epicentre in San Diego for the 1st date of the Stay Awake Tour.  Lydia, PlayRadioPlay!, Eye Alaska and Brave Citizens played.  All of the bands were pretty good other than PlayRadioPlay! because they were boring haha.  Obviously I love Eye Alaska and they were amazing and D’ette, Diana and I danced and sang along like fangirls.  Lydia was good, they’re super peaceful.  I LOVE Mindy’s voice and think she should sing way more.

After the show we hung out for a while and then went to In-N-Out for our usual after show meal.

I chose this picture because I thought it looked cool.  I have tons of much clearer pretty pictures but this one was weird so I picked it.  Plus all of the guys are in it. left-right we have Chase, Harry, Chris, Brandon and Cameron.

145/365. peace.

Day 145. May 26, 2009.

Ohh let’s see.  Not sure what I did during the day.  Pretty sure I just bummed around.  Around 7 I went to Chain to hang out with Catherine and Diana.  This Century, Yultron and some other bands played.  I wasn’t there to see any of them though haha.  Catherine and I basically spent the whole time cracking up because a bunch of funny/weird stuff kept happening.  After the show we went to Denny’s then we went home.  I’m not gonna talk about all the reasons why it was such a fun night but it was.

I forgot my camera in the car during the show so no pictures from that.  I just took a picture of my cute little peace sign toe. LOL.

144/365. baseballs.

Day 144. May 25, 2009.

Hmmm… So the 25th was another pretty lazy day.  I watched the Red Sox game, went to the grocery store and then went to see Terminator with my dad.  The movie was okay.  

While I was at the grocery store I saw these Baseballs which are like cupcakes but they’re shaped like baseballs and not chocolate. I thought they were weird so I took a picture.

143/365. Huntington Beach.

Day 143. May 24, 2009.

Lazy day.  Soph and I went to The Lab to go shopping.  Pretty sure all I got was a pair of sunglasses from Buffalo Exchange.  After we went over to Main St in Huntington Beach.  I was craving a milkshake so we walked down the pier to Ruby’s and got shakes.  I almost had a heart attack though because there was a huge pelican on the pier. Ahhhh.  We shopped around on Main St then went over to 5th to the new Forever 21.  I bought a cute new dress and shirt.  That’s pretty much the excitement for the day.

This picture is just a picture I took down by Ruby’s on the pier.

142/365. beautiful Arizona.

Day 142. May 23, 2009.

Let’s see… So Mom and I were in Arizona and figured we might as well spend some time there before driving right back home.  We decided to go to the Phoenix Zoo.  The zoo was okay, it was way too hot outside though.  After that we went to Sonic so I could have lunch.  We also went to Dunkin Donuts to pick up a dozen donuts to bring home.  Then we headed home.  Long drive and I didn’t want to go home but oh well.  Another pretty good day.

Driving home I took a lot of random pictures.  This is a picture I took right as we were leaving Scottsdale.  I thought it looked pretty.

141/365. B and Bee Dales.

Day 141. May 22, 2009.

Ooo this one is fun!  On the 22nd Mom and I drove out to Scottsdale, Arizona to go see Eye Alaska and The Summer Set.  I woke up extremely early and made cupcakes and a birthday cake for Brandon.  Then we started our long drive out to AZ.  The drive wasn’t too bad.   Stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch and it was sooo good. We got to Scottsdale and checked into the hotel, which was beautiful.  I finished up B’s b-day card and then got all ready.  

Drove over to the venue and somehow managed to find the EA guys right when we got there.  Gave them the treats and hugs and then Mom and I went and wandered and shopped around in Scottsdale for a bit.  The Venue of Scottsdale is awesome for those who haven’t been there.  Sat through the 1st couple bands.  I squeezed up towards the front and made friends with the people on the railing so they let me in for Eye Alaska’s set.  EA were wonderful and the new songs sound so good.  After EA I went back and hung out with Mom while We Shot the Moon played.  Then Mom and I watched The Summer Set who were also really good.  After the show we talked to the EA guys for a bit then said our goodbyes and gave hugs and went back to the hotel for some sleep.  Such a fun night!

Picture is of Brandon (singer for Eye Alaska) and Brian (singer for The Summer Set) singing EA’s song “Walk Like a Gentleman” together.  I have a ton of other ones of them together but I think Bee Dales looks cute in this one haha.  I have some creepy ones of him staring right at me too but I’ll save those for when I post these all up on myspace. haha.

140/365. me and Tinkerbell pen.

Day 140. May 21, 2009.

Thursday the 21st I had my last final of the semester.  Woo! haha.  I don’t really study for finals, it never seems to help.  I decided to wake up early and read over all of my notes real quick just to remind me of everything we had gone over.  This lovely picture is of me looking like a sleepy head reading my notes and writing with my Tink pen.

139/365. No Doubt!!!

Day 139. May 20, 2009.

Ahhhhh!  So on the 20th my mom and I drove up to Bakersfield (ew) to see No Doubt, Paramore and The Sounds. The drive was long and Bakersfield is scary but what’s new.  We got there early and didn’t want to wait in line so we went and got dinner. Once we went back to the venue we went in and bought some shirts then found our seats.

The Sounds were good and Maja looked amazing in her little tiny outfit.  Paramore were so awesome.  I love them so that’s no surprise.  I wish they played more old songs though.

Now to No Doubt! Oh my goodness, they were AMAZING!!!  I hadn’t seen them in years, obviously, and I was blown away.  It was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.  They played like every good song they have and everyone was singing and dancing along.  So much fun.  They all looked so good too.  You could tell they were so happy and having such a good time.  I could go on for days geeking out about their show but I’ll leave it at WOW! haha.

This picture is of No Doubt.  Gwen is has her back facing the crowd but it’s the best picture I had that had the whole band in it.  They were playing home movies of the band in the background during this song and I seriously started tearing up.  It was so cute. <3
