Bamboozle Woozle

Bamboozle 2007 was the most insane and chaotic experience of my life.

Saturday May 5th (Day 1) - Becky and I decided to go early. We got there at about 11:00 a.m., parked, and walked towards the huge mob of people waiting to get in, passing about 100 already drunk and high people on the way. Once doors were finally open, we cut a few thousand people refusing to wait an hour or two just to get in to the parking lot of the stadium. Then we went to the main stage to wait for Phil. People were wasted so we decided to go to Phil's merch where we talked to Kat for a minute or two. Then we went back and watched Phil while some more drunk people in front of us made us a little worried. My feet were already hurting really bad by this point and Becky and I were out of place anyway in the mob of hardcore emo kids. So we said, "Let's go shopping!" We went to Palisades (WOOHOO). That was fun. Becky had some soup, we went into the fun little asian store and got our mothers some gifts. We also went to get our hair done by the amazing Shyesha who remembered me. She met Diggy from Run's House earlier that day which was a pretty funny story. We love her. Then Chris IM'ed me so we decided to go see him at his hotel because he was there by himself. Got ourselves some snazzy Koonalicious shirts as seen in my previous blog. Then we went to a diner (a requirement in Jersey). After partying at the diner for a bit and arguing about who was paying (I won again), we went to Subway to get some stuff ;) that was interesting. Then we went to Wal-Mart and had some fun there. Got some new sunglasses, some food, etc. Then Krista called so we sped off to Giant's Stadium to pick her up. Problem was we couldn't find her. Some guy from the band Just Surrender said that if he saw her, he'd tell her we were looking for her. That was pretty funny. Finally we found her and went back to the hotel where we amazed her with our randomness. Then we slept because we had to get up early the next day.


Sunday May 6th (Day 2) - Woke up early for church. Went there and it was amazing as always. Had some interesting conversations with people such as Aunty Crunch (I believe that's what she said) although her real name was Florence (I think). Then we went off to Bamboozle. Spent the day rocking out with some cool kids like Becky, Krystle (who became known as Dishwasher), Paula, Aubrey, etc. It was pretty fun. Fast forward to Jonas time. We were, of course, all at the wrong stage (there were two stages attached to each other) so we all had to shove over. I dominated and got Becky and I back in the front row. Juliette Lewis was playing on the other stage. She was pretty funny. "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my", her crowd-surfing, etc. Then she got off stage and it was Jonas time. Amazing show as always. It was funny hearing "Move On" because I heard it back in November acoustically. I knew some of the words already so that was interesting. After Jonas, we went and chilled near merch talking to people and what not. Then Becky got a huge birthday hug from John Taylor and I got a normal hug. We talked to him for a bit and then he took a random picture of us which I'm pretty interested to see. Then we left and finally found the car in the parking lot which was already on, keys in the ignition, lights on and everything. We all are 100% positive we weren't stupid enough to do something like that. Becky doesn't drive with her lights on in the morning anyways. There was a AAA service there who opened the car for us. It was pretty creepy. Anyways, that was the end of that.

Met The Spill Canvas...woo!

Bummers of the weekend:
Not seeing the boys at all outside of the performance
Not seeing Amelia :( That was an even bigger bummer (Sorry, boys)

So yeah it did pone, however. Extremely fun weekend.


That's all for now.
