OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG That show was so amazing! It's just, it's left me without words and I'm literally crying. <3 Ok, so, my meager detailed happenings of the night *warning! may contain excessive use of the word "sexy"*:
Before the show -
I got there around 10 in the morning (there was already a line!), but my mom was freaking out since my brother and I had missed school for this and the police are getting real tight on trauncy and all that crap. She dropped us off at my dad's shop and we actually ended up in the line at around 10:35. There were about 15 people in front of me. (The last time I saw them, I got there at 5 an ended up with about the same spot in line. They're getting fucken huge, it's ridiculous.) It was soo hot and due to the fires (I heard that a lot of people couldn't make it to the show because of that. SUCKS =[), the sky was this orange-looking color and there was ash all over the place. My nose was bothering me for a while.
At around noon they moved us out of the street and into one of the ramps. We were seperated into two lines of girls and two lines of guys. I ended up a bit closer to the front this way. For some reason, there's always less guys and my brother ended up third or fourth in line. So we waited and waited and waited. It was unbearable, especially when they did the sound check (Pace, Pioneer, A Time to be so Small, and The Lighthouse). My brother eventually left since the security guys were letting people come back to their spots. At around two my sister showed up and saved our spot in line while I went to eat. I came back and waited and waited and waited. They said that they were going to let us in the venue at around six, which was pretty early, I think. My sister, being the little shit she is, at the last momment called my mom and told her to pick her up because she was tired and wasn't feeling well. That was soo annoying, but seeing as how I was there because of her, I couldn't tell her much. My older brother decided to show up since we had an extra ticket, but he just ended up leaving after five songs because the crowd got too crazy.
We were inside at 6:30 p.m. My brother got a spot up at the baracade and tried holding one for me but people pushed him out of the way. I ended up just grabbing part of the railing, but I eventually pushed my way up (I had to be continuously fighting with this little bitch that was also trying to get up there. When Interpol started the back rows just pushed us both up, though, so it all worked out.) I was in between Paul and Carlos, but closer to Paul (of course!). And then more and more waiting.
Liars -
At a little past eight Liars came on. I had heard such horrible things about them, but I thought they did a good job. The singer came out in this white suit, which was soo adorable. I love it when guys wear white <3 Anywho, they did their thing. The singer danced like kRAzY. He was always pulling up the bottom of his pants, exposing a skinny, pale, probably hairless, little leg. All in all, I really liked it. They played for about 45 mintues, I think. They were off stage at approximately 9. Then we had to wait, wait, and wait some more. My back hurt like a bitch, my feet felt completely numb, AND I was still fighting with that guy for a spot at the baracade.
INTERPOL!!!!!! -
Jed the Fish came out to announce them. He did this stupid thing about the fires that are happening and how we needed to bring the fire for Interpol or something like that. It was retarded.
ahhh!! And then, and finally, my babies came out. I couldn't believe it. My heart was beating like crazy. I just started yelling and clapping uncontrollably. Daniel was wearing his little suit like always. Carlos had the western thing going on. Dave had his suit, but no hat! =[ I could barely see Sam because his drumset and Paul were in the way, but he was wearing his little hat, a white shirt, and a black tie. Paul (oh, Paul) was wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, his wristband, the same pants he always wears (haha), and his hair was nicely put behind his ears (I was hoping for crazy, hair all over the place Paul, but this was just as sexy). They're all so skinny and seemed so tiny...ahhh, well the point is that they all looked wonderful =D

They started off with Pioneer, like always. OMG that song is so amazing live. I felt the same way I felt when I heard it for the first time and I was almost crying. After that, the crowd got crazy! I was pushed so much, my feet were stepped on, my hair kept on getting pulled, and I think some guy was dry humping me. It was just insane. It was nothing like last time where no one was touching me and I even had a little room to move around. They got worse during the singles and more popular songs. But of course, I was part of the crazy too, hehe. It was so hard to just stand there. I couldn't stop moving or yelling or singing along. I even forgot some lyrics but still mumbled along.
Daniel was unbelievable! His moves are totally killer. He just got into the music so much and during a few songs, when the crowd would yell, he would scream "whoa" with us. It was the most adorable thing ever. He got on top of the speakers sometimes and during one song he jumped onto these giant thingys (I don't know what they were) next to the stage and closer to the crowd. That was sexy. Again, I could hardly see Sam =[ Carlos was looking fucken FINE! During one song he lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth while playing. That was soo sexy. OMG and the way he would move his bass. It was just crazy. Farmer Dave would occassionally have this dork-ish smile. It was so cute. Paul (oh Paul!!!) was just incredible. He looked so sexy throughout the whole thing. He got into the music so much and his little smiles and smirks would just melt my heart. I couldn't take it!!
----Little Random things I remember----
Paul sort of presented Farmer Dave to the crowd. I couldn't hear what Paul was saying, but Farmer Dave just kept smiling and blowing kisses to the crowd <3
I think The Lighthouse was definitely the highlight of the night. I thought they were going to get off stage because I saw Paul take off his guitar. It was the most beautiful surprise! I think Carlos walked off stage for most of the song. There was this spotlight on Daniel and then Paul started singing. OMG it was the sexiest thing ever. First of all, he always has his guitar and seeing him without it...ahh, just...ahhh!!! He had his eyes closed for most of the time and he held the microphone so gently. I swear he was having an orgasm...seriously. I might have been having one too, hahahah! I was actually crying. I tried so hard not so cry because I knew my brother was going to make fun of me but it was all so beautiful. During the end of the song, when the drums and bass come in, Paul, Sam, and Carlos were all in the back, not facing the audience, and this yellow light came on. All I could see was their shadows. It was priceless. That just went so well with the song.
They did a LONG intro for PDA. It was sex. They were all turned around, except Daniel, which looked pretty cool. That guy CANNOT stop moving!
During Pace is the Trick, I don't know if it was that Paul forgot the lyrics or he wanted the crowd to sing along, but he wouldn't completely finish a lyric. It was pretty cool, though.
OH OH! Paul did the kiss during Stellaaaaaa!!! hehe. PLUS, he added this little hand gesture, like when you blow a kiss to someone. Sadly, it wasn't in my direction =[ ahh, but I swear, my legs turned into jello. I think the crowd sand along to this song the most. He had a little smirk during most of it <3
I think that's it. I might remember a few extra things later on. It's four in the morning so I should really finish my homework =/
