I went to Extreme Thing on Saturday. I woke up at 7:10 to ensue ample time to eat breakfast, curl my hair, put my make up on, and pick out something to wear, in that order. I ended up rocking my Taylor Swift inspired curls, natural looking make up, and a red shirt with my black leather jacket, dark skinny jeans, and black flats. I brought a mustard colored knitted hat with a black knitted scarf. They were much needed because it was so cold and windy for the first part of the day. It ended up warming up as the day progressed but I broke out the hat and scarf after the sun went down.
Around 8:55 I left my house to pick up Blake and Sean. We drove to Desert Breeze Park and got in line around 9:20 to buy my ticket. The line was so long so, figuring we would find people we knew, we walked to the front of the line. We found friends and stood with them. They finally started selling tickets at 10 or so. After Sean and I bought our tickets, Blake, Sean, and I had to go wait in another line to actually get into the park. They wouldn't open the gates until 11:00. Everyone, very impatiently, waited.
Since I'm quite small, I push my way through the line to get farther up front. I got us about halfway to the front. Sean did the same and got us within the first 15 people, so we ended up being some of the first people let in when 11:00 rolled around.
These... gatherings... shindigs... events... get sort of crazy. Not dangerous crazy! Don't freak out, Mom. People throw water bottles in the air a lot. I got hit a few times with water. Not a concern. I was at the stage where local bands were playing. I was up front for my favorite local band (Inherit the Sky) and someone had thrown a water bottle. I swear the whole thing just dumped on my left side. I got soaked. I didn't really care but after it dried, I realized it was soda. My hair was sooo sticky and gross that even brushing it out didn't help!
The day was long. I was so tired. I got a slight sunburn on my chest and even brought home a cold! Yippeeee!
I got to see Senses Fail backstage.
Blake had a backstage pass so I was let in with him. I mostly wanted to see D.R.U.G.S backstage and meet the lead singer, Craig Owens. My dreams would have been fulfilled (; But unfortunately I wasn't able to.
Blake got to, though, so he got Craig to sign my ticket. I could have switched Blake and used his backstage pass... I actually don't know why we didn't do that.
I went home around 7:00 because I was in a lot of pain and I was exhaused. It was a day of nonstop walking and standing. I'm still a bit sore from it but I had an awesome day.
