All The Way Tour [01.27.12]
So at first I wasn’t even gonna go to the show since I was supposed to close at work, but I got someone to switch shifts with me. But I did end up going after my morning shift. After work, I went to Athena’s house to get ready and about an hour later, we stopped to get food at Iguana’s where we shared nacho fries and got some burritos for there and on the road. We left for the show around 4ish and I had to grind through traffic. It was totally fine though. We made it at around 5:30 and spent a good amount of time skimming for parking by The Fillmore cuz we didn’t want to walk far at night. When we were at a stop sign, these two young boys passed and I hella yelled “Hi Justin Beiber” as a joke and my windows were closed too and one of them smiled and waved and me and Athena hella bust out laughing. After while trying to get parking, I tried to parallel park twice which didn’t work and finally found the last parking spot behind a bus stop. We put in money for the last 10 minutes before free parking and went along our way. We bought our tickets and I the loving cousin I am treated Athena to some yummy ass Miyako’s ice cream before we headed in. Can I just say how I love Tom, the owner I’m guessing so much. He’s the sweetest man ever! Ice cream that was supposed to pay $6 for ended up being $4.50 and the change was his tip. Every time we hit Fillmore, we will go.
Around 6:30 we headed in to the shit. We freshened up and found a spot in the back of crowd so we could dance our asses off. The After Party went on first. We acted like dumb asses just boppin’ around. The lady near us was hella smiling when we did something stupid. The best part of their set was the Britney Spears cover. Then after that I didn’t care. Next was Hollywood Ending. The best part was their cover song also which was One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.” I could dance to that song all fucking day. I guess it was cuz they had a British bass boy and he influenced the cover of that song. Who knows. After them was Before You Exit. I was a little creeped out that I’m about 2-4 years older than the entire band. They didn’t matter to me at all. Finally AllStar Weekend came on and I admit I haven’t listened to their new record, but I totally am now. I only knew the few songs they sang from Suddenly Yours. I still had a good time though. The drunk girls by us were really annoying though. I did really enjoyed the show because it was so much pop that it reminded me of younger days. And stupidly dancing without a care, yes please.
After the show, we just waited around and Athena talked to the British guy from Hollywood Ending, Chris. The workers were kicking people out so he was really unfocused on her. I’m sorry, but he’s a little weird! After we sit for a few then we see Zach and go to him. It took forever and I ended up being one of the last people to talk to him. Then poor Cameron was stuck in the corner with no way out. I don’t even wanna discuss what went down. He left before we got to him, but he would be outside. About 10 minutes later, we talk to these girls in line and I don’t know how much cooties that guy has on his lips and cheek. Every girl and their moms asked for a kiss! Haha. We were joking that he should kiss my hand or my shoe. Athena ends up saying loudly where Mikey is because he’s her filipino brother and Cameron says he’s part filipino so he could be her brother too, but she made this weirded out noise and he got offended. She admitted that she had a crush on him and he made her night by giving her a box of chocolates, holding her hand, and carrying her for a picture. I was one of the last people to talk to him also before he went on the bus.
We joked around with this filipino guy, a girl he worked with, and her friend and we ended up hanging out with them after for dinner with Cameron. A friendly filipino family dinner! Lol. We tried looking for places and ended up getting in one of the girls’ car squishing in the back and drove around Geary looking for a place to eat. We ended up at Mel’s Diner. His favorite line to the waiters was “What is the absolute best thing to order?” Haha. We all ended up talking over dinner and a little before 1, which is his bus call, we head back to The Fillmore so he can get back on the bus and we can go home. We give him a hug and head on our way. Me and Athena had left over from the diner and this homeless man approaches us of course seeing our boxes and asks if we have leftovers. No doubt not wanting to be followed Athena shoves the box to the guy and we head over fast to my car. We head back home in the dark, creepy fog. And our night is over. Things took a turn for the best I would say :]
