Stop Teasing Me, Won't You Take It Easy

So tonight was AMAZING.

PHANTOM PLANET IS (and if you manage to find/read this blog, YOU ARE) AMAZING!
Me and my friends skipped out on Jack's Mannequin AND Paramore to hang out with them.
And let me tell you, they were all so nice.


I saw/met Darren first.
And there is a difference between seeing and meeting.
First off, he walked down the block.
I noticed him.  I spazzed.  I didn't say anything.
Later, we saw him backstage.
We were by the fence because my friend was feeling light headed.
Alex even walked by, but he seemed a little creeped out when I noticed him and called his name.
But please, I was there to see PHANTOM PLANET!
We started singing bumper to bumper.
He had someone come by and video tape us.
Then, he came by and heard us sing it.
"It's awesome that you guys know that.  I didn't think anyone knew that."




The concert was amazing.
It seemed like we were the only one's who knew who they were.
I'm sure they expected to walk onstage and not here our cheers.
Think again.
Jeff walked onstage to set up the drums.
I didn't notice that it was him at first because HE GOT A HAIRCUT!
But it was an awesome one.
So my friend and I shouted "We love your haircut!"
He heard us and smiled.
Sam walked on stage, too.  Of course we cheered for him.
Alex walked on and work on the mic.  Cheered for him, too.


We jumped and thrashed and sang along to every song we knew,
and even some we didn't.
(but only a few)
Phantom Planet put on a great performance.
No lie.
I liked it better than a couple of months ago,
when I saw them with another band.
The crowd, was worse.
We knew who they were.
No one else did.
We knew the words.
No one else did.

They all hung around during the end of the Jack's Mannequin set and the beginning of the Paramore set.
We stayed, chilled, and talked with them.
We talked about their youtube videos, bubbles, and being short.
(well, that last one was mostly Darren and I)
We talked to Jeff about his haircut.
And then he let us touch his hair.
Sam made me feel short,
and then shrunk down to my shortness to give me a hug.
(I got hugs from everyone, though)
It was amazing.
Darren gave me his guitar pick.
I think I'm gonna put it on a necklace.

Darren is the shit.
Honestly, they all are.
