soooo unfOrtunately, i wasnt able to make the meet and greet because it was literally impossible for me to be there for it. but thats ok just keep reading shut up.! so the whole time i was standing in the crowd waiting for the aquabats to start playing, i was near the back at the beggining, i was pretty much barfing out of my heart and like i literally LITERALLY almost fell over and fainted i just kept looking over to that curtain thinking 'oh my god they're real life people and they're fifty feet away from me and i am about to see their faces and when i do i will, die' and it was a LOOONG wait but basically i was right and when they came out i started crying, and laughing. it was amazing. they played the show theme and then they played a song about getting the "meat sweats" and it was so good god bless. meat sweat s. they played a couple more songs (im sorry i cant remember which songs and in what order im so tired) and basically i got fed up with not being a foot away from the commander and i mustered up MORE CONFIDENCE AND BRAVERY THAN IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE I AM A DOORMAT BUT I SHIMMIED THROUGH THAT CROWD SOMETHING MIGHTY! and i got to THE FRONT i was lodged between this crowd of little kids and some cool dude in a black rashguard and his super not wanting to be there girlfriend. I WAS RIGHT THERE OH MY GOD OOOHHHH MY OO OOHMYMYMYMYMYMYMYM GHOFOGOGOODGOGDOGODGOGDHDHODDOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH GOSH! he was splashing water on us and BASICALLY ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE HE TOOK MY HAND IN THE MIDDLE OF LOVERS OF LOVING LOVE, AND, THEN I WAS done for that was it for me. he touched my hand two other times after that, during one song i noticed (maybe i just imagined it but im p sure i didnt!) jimmy was staring at me SO INTENSELY, a girl lied about it being her birthday and ricky sang the song he sings. the intermission happened and it was AMAZING EVERYONE WAS SHITTIN. ROBTBOBYS AAANNDND CRASH. he was so upset.... wow............. alllll the babies went onstage and we did a poolparty thing! my friend grabbed me a beach ball! when the kids were leaving the stage and everyone was leaving jimmy gave me like THE FIRMEST FUCKING HANDGRAB. HE IS A REAL ROBOT! he s real. cant believe it tbh. at one point crash started playing ricky's drums. there was a dinosaur. jimmy shot tennis balls and water bottles at people. also i cried like six times literally cried tears i was sobbing. ok now
now u see i came to the show with a very meticulously handmade muscle-tee for the commander (sadly, i didnt get any pictures of it finished but i do have wip pics, it was basically hyper-realistic mcbc with big ol anime eyes, in front of a beautiful cherry tree with leaves falling, and japanese text on the top and bottom that said 'bat commander! very beautiful') and i was so worried about getting rejected that during the whole show i didnt hand him the shirt i like waved it in the air a little and that was it i was . SO. scared. so the show was over, the meet and greet was missed, and i hadnt ever given him the shirt. things in that area were, looking, glum, my friends. but i was NOT READY TO GIVE UP MCBC WAS GOING TO GET THIS GOOD AS HELL SHIRT FROM HIS #1 FAN!!! so i walked up to the stage and peeked in the curtains. one of the people from emily's army/swimmers was helping as a stage hand, and he was still there so i called him over and in the most charming, cool way i could i asked him "bro, can you do me a huge solid? give this to the commander. tell him the girl with the blue hair in the front made it." and he was like okay and as he was getting up and leaving i was like "and tell him he saved my life...." it was like a movie ppl. god damn. god damn!!! so i was feeeling good, i was pretty sure commander was getting the shirt so i was happy. then i went to the merch table to buy a shirt (i got the yellow super rad one) and right after i finished paying, the dude from up on stage approaches me, and told me mcbc got the shirt, he tried it on and he loved it. (then he stayed a weirdly long time, and i was trying to play it off like "dude seriously thank you youre the best you changed my life bro" and he was just like "yeah.... :)" idk why, it caught my attention. he went eventually.) so basically i walk back to the table i was sitting at, sobbiNG I WAS VERY EMOTIONAL! IM STILL EMOTIONAL AS HELL RIGHT NOW. and im like lets just sit here a while im super tired so we stayed there for like fifteen more minutes. we saw crash walk from backstage to the restricted upstairs area twice and i was like :00000000 AAHHHH!!!!! it was cool as hell! and then and THEN! AND TEHEN!!!!!!!!!!! MY MAN CJ WALKS THROUGH THE SAME WAY, AND ITS SO FAR I HAD TO SQUINT FOR A LONG TIME TO RECOGNIZE HIM BUT IT WAS HIM AND WELL, MOTHERHUGGERS, HE WAS WEARING MY SHIRT. i did the worst possible, most obnoxious, rude, but necessary thing i could do, and SCREAMED at him COMMANDER OH YOURE WEARING THE SHIRT OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he was like 'o___o!' and i was freaking out! i turned around to talk to my friend and, he was gone. like that. i was like wow ill never see him again i feel like a dick for screaming all the way across the club but i HAD to. and well we were like basically this was the best pj can now die peacefully and we got up to leave and MY MAIN MAN! HE WALKS BACK THE OTHER WAY, HES UP ON THE SECOND STORY PATIO THINGY, AND HE'S LOOKIN STRAIGHT AT ME, KIDS! i walk up under the patio and asked him if he liked his shirt, he gave me two thumbs up and i was so happy i blew him kisses and he shot some little hearts at me, several... :) he was saying something but we couldnt hear, i was just screaming about how i made the shirt myself and uh that i loved him, and he kept doin the little heart thing and i got overwhelmed and i had to turn away because i started crying. good JOB pj. ya n00b. but yeah, he was gone again after that BUT THE WHOLE! THING! CHANGED! MY! LIFE!!!!! i was just walking out of the club, crying still, thinking WOW HE LIKED IT SO MUCH HE PUT IT RIGHT ON HE WAS JUST WALKING AROUND WEARING IT NOT TO SHOW ANYONE HE JUST LIKED IT THAT MUCH and i cried all the way to the car and now im just finished for the rest of forever. play bagpipes at pj's funeral. cj may never forget the crazy person that screeched across the club and cried in front of him. good job pj (i dont even CARE IM SO! FUCKING! HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
i know a lot of you guys have like, full on met the aquabats, talked to them, gotten autographs, but dude... my moment, was really, really insanely special, you just seriously had to be there. im fucking changed for life.
left with: beachball, nugget, two beautifully aqua-contaminated hands, new shirt, infinite internal screaming forever
