It all started when I was online and notice a band Mayday Parade is performing in my city. I was really excited!! I had to get tickets but it was the last minute. Unfortunately I didn't have time. When I got home, I decided that I should make a bracelet for each of them or for Derek who is the singer. :) I wrote a letter and made him a friendship bracelet. At the same time, I was getting ready to go out to the venue where they were playing at: SLIMS. When I got there, there were TONS of fan girls in line! Especially around the block! Mayday Parade must have a ton of fans!! It was really chilly outside. With no jacket nor nothing to keep me warm, I had to stay cold. WAIT no! I had my hoodie!! :)
Meanwhile I was overhearing these 2 girls in front of the line talking about Sleeping With Sirens which is who I LOVE but I was afraid that they may think I'm weird. Seeing as though I am older than them & I don't know them..
So I see these 2 guys who are tall and wore black walking back and forth.. I had a feeling they may be band members. One of them had long brown hair and had flip flops on. Maybe that may be Derek! But I was afraid that I may ask something stupid so I decided not to ask them.
Suddenly, I see this man who asks who wants a free ticket to see Mayday Parade! I was in shock & made sure it was not a scam. He asked these 2 girls but they declined cause they already bought tickets. Luckily and out of the blue, they pointed at me saying that I want a free ticket!! I was surprised! They don't know me but they know I am fan of theirs!! Thank you again to the girl who did this! :) I was really really excited! I got back home, got my camera and came back to go in the venue before MP started.
How the venue looked like: Inside was of course warm! It was a bit huge! A big dance floor with the stage in the middle. On the side of the entrance inside were stairs to the restrooms and dressing rooms for the musicians. A bar was on the other side where some people can chill, talk with friends while listening to the music. There were tons of people seeing MP! VERY crowded!! But afterwards it was a bit empty after a couple of songs! Some boys were pushing each other/dancing. It was pretty intense. But all in all I LOVE the show!! :) They sang their songs from when Jason Lancaster was in the band to Jake Bundrick who is his replacement. I still love both of them! :D Mayday Parade is clearly the most AMAZING and AWESOME BAND!! :D I recommend their songs and them to the people who want to listen to them :)
