Last Night Was AMAZING

Yesterday at work, Fredy, my co-worker at the bowl asked if I was going to go up to the bowl to go watch Depeche Mode. I said YES. So I told him that I was going to wait for him in my lot until he was done in his lot. Once we closed our lot, I sat in my car and waited for Fredy to finish. Once he was done, he came over the lot. While I was getting out of the car I asked him if I should take my camera. I wasn't sure if I wanted to take it. He said "I don't know, its up to you" Then I said "Uh .... I don't know! I don't know!" So then Fredy said, "Do you want to flip a coin?" I said "Ok!" Then he flipped the coin and I called heads and it landed on heads! So, I took my camera.

Once we were inside we had to wait about 30 minutes for DM to go on stage. So, we just talked about random stuff to kill time. DM took the stage at 8:50pm! They had the same set list as the night before. Dave looks pretty damn good for his age! Anyway, the show was suppose to be over at 11pm. Fredy had to be back at his lot by 10pm. I had to be back by 10:45pm. So when it was close to 10pm Fredy left and I stayed.

This is what 17,000 people looks like. AMAZING!

Ten minutes after Fredy left my brother text me and he said "I JUST MET CHINO!" I couldn't believe it!!! 20 seconds after I read the text I see Cesar (my brother) and Julio (Our friend) walking towards me and they're both talking at the same time telling me that they just talked to CHINO and he was SO cool and blah blah blah. The whole time that they were talking I just kept thinking "CHINO IS HERE AT THE BOWL!!!" While Cesar and Julio were telling the story over and over I kept telling them "TAKE ME TO HIM!! TAKE ME TO HIM!!!" So after a while of asking, they walked me over to where they last saw him. When we walked over, I didn't see him!!!! Cesar said "This is where I walked him to!" HE WASN'T THERE!!!! =( I was SO bummed out!!! Then I thought "Fuck that! I've been wanting to meet this man for a LONG time! I'm going to look for him!" So I told Cesar and Julio that I was going to go look for him. I walked around and NOTHING. I was about to cry a little! Then I stopped and I look around ONE last time and THERE HE WAS! When I saw him I ran to Cesar and Julio and I told them that I found him and that I was going to go talk to him! Cesar and Julio didn't want to go with me because they didn't want CHINO to think that they were bugging him. As I was walking over, I didn't know what I was going to say! I was so nervous and NERVOUS! OMG, that was the greatest moment ever!!! I walked up to him and I tapped him on his arm and he turned around and I don't know what I said but we shook hands and then I just hugged him!! Right after I hugged him, Cesar and Julio showed up! hahaha! and Cesar said "This is my sister!" hahaha He "Introduced" me to CHINO like if they were friends lol That was so funny. Then I took a picture of Cesar and Julio with CHINO.


Then this lady that was with him (his agent) said "What is this a photo shoot?! Are they bothering you?!?" and CHINO said "No No, its ok" Then it was MY turn to be in the picture! But out of nowhere this OTHER HB employee goes up to CHINO and says "Hey dawg! I need get to get a picture with you CHINO" and CHINO just said "Ok, sure" Then my brother took his picture with MY camera!


Then it was my turn!!!! YAY! Oh man! That was amazing! After we took the pictures, we said our thank you's and good bye's and we left. OMG I haven't been that excited to meet someone in a VERY long time!



I don't know what time it was, so I decided to head back to the lot. When I got to the lot I told everyone! They don't know who CHINO is but I didn't care, I had to tell someone! hahaha I called my friend Jessica who is the biggest fan ever! She has the white pony (Album cover) tattooed on her stomach and she just loves CHINO! So I called her like 24 times and she never answered! hahaha then I called my pregnant friend and I woke her up! I said my apologies later lol I told her that I just met CHINO and that it was the greatest moment ever!!! and then I told her I was going to call her tmrw cause she was half asleep! =D THEN I called Soleil and I text my other friends! Oh man, it was AWESOME!!! CHINO MORENO!!!!

When the show was over people were walking back to their cars and Julio parked in the front at the lot where I work in. So I was there keeping an eye on his car, cause there was this ONE asshole who kept honking because he couldn't get out because of Julio's car. So I told the guy "HEY! Stop honking! There's no one inside the car!!!" (Julio was still inside the bowl) And the guy stopped honking for about 15 minutes. THEN he started again. So, I called Julio and he said that he was walking back down. So when he got to the lot I told him to NOT move his car, cause that guy was being an annoying asshole with his fucking honking! So me and Julio were just standing there in the middle of the lot while all the cars were leaving. OMG it was too funny. Julio was directing traffic! hahaha OMG, I should have recorded it! Dammit! hahaha He was like "One at a time! One at a time!" hahaha Oh man!!! I was just standing next to him laughing! I was laughing the WHOLE time! Oh man!! hahaha GOOD TIMES lol

After the lot was empty me and Julio drove up to the bowl, since I had to go clock out. We we're also on a hunt for Cesar. Then after we found him and after I clocked out, I called it a night. I coulnt wait to go home and show my mom! lol

I'm so going to keep talking about this for the next week! Ahhh!!!!!

CHINO MORENO!!!!!

Brand New/Bamboozle Pt. 2

I'm going to tell the little details that happened this weekend that I didst mention in the previous blog. I didn't mention them earlier because I was in a rush. I had to go to school and take my midterm.

Ok . . .

So on Saturday when we were at USC I really had to use the restroom! All they had were porter potty's! Then I thought "maybe I should just hold it until I get home" ... NO! I had to go go go! So i said "F*** it. I'm going to use the porter potty!" So I went in and it didn't smell (THANK GOD!) and they had hand sanitizer! It was ok for my first time lol



Also, on saturday I saw for the first time ever a .... cup holder that hangs from a microphone stand! YEAH! I've never seen one before until saturday hahaha

Sunday @ BAMBOOZLE



I had to sell an extra ticket that we had. So, I was outside the venue trying to sell this ticket. The box office charged $51.50 and I was selling it for $40! There was a cop walking around, so I was keeping a look out. So I asked this guy who was walking to the box and he said "How much?" I said "$40" Then he said, "What about $35?" I said "Nah" Then he walked away. Then this group of high school idiots were walking by and I asked them and they only had their debit cards. THEN these two 14-16 year old girls walked by and I asked and they said "How much?" I said "$40" then one of the girls said "What!?" Then I said "Dude, theyre charging $51.50 at the box!" Then she said "How about $25!" I said "Hell No" then she said "fine, here's $40" hahaha Throughout the whole time that I was trying to sell the ticket I felt like a drug dealer. No joke! hahaha that was cool.


After I sold the ticket I went to go make line to go inside. Then a CSC person tells me "No Backpacks!" I was like "WHAT?!" So then I called my brother (he was already inside because he got lucky and trash talk let him go inside with them, so he can help out at the merch table). I told him that they wouldn't let me in with my backpack. So he comes outside with his "Artist" pass and he takes my backpack inside and I got moved up to the front of the line! Woooo! So I went inside without waiting WITH my backpack! ha! Take THAT CSC! In your face! hahaha

Once I was inside my brother went back to the trash talk merch table. So I went to the thrice merch table and I bought the green shirt. They were $15 (unlike deftones shirts. Deftones shirts were $30!) I was about to leave and the guy says "Wait! Here!" and he gave me a FREE shirt! He gave me the Thrice Alliance shirt for free. It was a buy one get an alliance shirt for free!

I was watching In Fear And Faith at the state farm stage and they did a cover of Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" I have the video but I have to upload it on youtube. You'll see it later.

Being under the sun for a long period of time is SO not my thing! It would have been the perfect weekend if it was super cloudy with no rain! It would have been awesome! But no. The sun was out, burning everybody and their momma.


Around 5 ish I was getting hungry! The food was so expensive there! Fries were $6!!!! FRIES! Only fries! I thought about it for a LONG time whether to buy food there or not. I didn't! I was like "hell no, I'm just going to have to starve until we get home!" That's what I did lol

When Deftones were playing I swear I checked my ears just to make sure they werent bleeding! It was sooooo LOUD that I could feel the sound of the base all over my freakin body! Even my hair was vibrating cause it was so loud!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I walked into class to take my midterm my friend was like "Damn, you look sleepy!" Thats another way of saying "Damn, you look like shit!" I said "It was a long weekend"

I'm going to sleep once I upload all these videos on youtube.

Here are some kick ass videos of Deftones from last night. This guy recorded almost ALL the songs! Hooray for him! WATCH THEM ALL (In high quality)!
















P.S. I want to say thanks to HUGO for hooking it up yesterday! Hooray HUGO! =)
