I rushed downtown to the restaurant. Had to find parking. I drove by the restaurant and there was kinda a big group outside. So I rushed to find parking. I found a fairly decent spot. Then I was a fucking chicken and didn't go up to the restaurant because I felt like a total creeper. So I called my friend whatwasonceabeautifulworld.tumblr.com (Shannon) and she walked me through what I should do. She told me to go up to the restaurant and at first I was like no no no omg I was so scared. So finally I walk up to the restaurant and look through the windows and I don't see them. So Shannon said to just go in and ask for a menu and then look around. Yeah I STILL didn't see them so I was convinced they were in a side parlor or back room or something. So I went outside and just kinda stood there and hung up with Shannon. Then I called Kristina (-alittlecloserr.tumblr.com) and she stayed on the phone with me the rest of the time I was there. I asked a group of three people who were walking past me to go into the restaurant for me and ask the guy at the counter if Foster the People were in there. And the guy went in and then came out and said that they didn't think so. WHO THE FUCK DOESN'T KNOW THAT FOSTER THE PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR RESTAURANT?! WHO?! Anyways they guy said I should just go in and ask for FTP by name like Mark or Cubbie etc or ask to use the bathroom so I could walk around more and check but I was like I don't think they'd let a random non customer do that. And the guy was like "Yeah I'd think the guy at the counter would let you. You are really cute." Awww!! :)
Anyways so I stood outside trying to get a peek into the windows some more but couldn't see anything. So I asked this bus boy that had come out the side of the restaurant who was taking the trash out. I asked him if he knew who Foster the People were and he said yes. And I said if he had seen them inside. HE DIDN'T KNOW. AGAIN WTF?!
So THEN Kristina convinced me to go and talked to the people who were eating outside in front of the restaurant if they had seen them. And they said they knew who they were and they weren't even aware that FTP was there. And they described the people who had been sitting right next to them for awhile and it sure as heck sounded like Mark, Pontius, and Cubbie. HOLY HELL. If I had passed them I would shoot myself in the fucking foot. So they were cool though and asked me if I was a major fangirl. I got this smile on my face and was like "Um maybe." haha and the guy was like yeah you totally are haha. I talked to them for awhile and they said that FTP probably went to some other bars that were around. So I walked around the block and down the street for two hours. And it was raining and like 40 degrees and I was wearing capris and TOM like shoes without socks. So I was freezing. I couldn't feel my hands. So I didn't see FTP at all.
I saw this tour bus on the side of the street and it was running and I could have swore I saw Cubbie in it and Kristina kept saying to knock on the bus etc. But I w of course was way too chicken. I walked passed the bus trying to peer into the windows for like five mintues and this guy ends up walking out and I ask him if he's in a band and he said yeah and he said his band name and I was like oh ok nevermind then.
Yeah ended up it was this guy Michael Gungor who is a Christian singer I guess and Kristina is a fan of so she was like trying to yell at me saying that she knew who he was. But I didn't hear her until he went back into the bus. So after walking around for awhile I walked back over to the tour bus and saw Michael again and called him over and asked if he could say hi to my friend Kristina and he did. It was very nice of him.
So overall I'm kinda mad at myself and upset that I didn't get to see Mark, Posi, or Cubbie. But I'm glad some guy said I was cute and helped Kristina get to talk to someone she admires.
Oh and there was a gay bar that I walked by and these totally drunk gay dudes were stumbling out of the bar and they were hanging on each other like they were dating and one guy shouted to the other "I'M GONNA PEE ON YOUUUU!" hahaha so that made my night too :)
I just hope that tomorrow I get to see FTP. Otherwise I will really cry and lay in bed for the next week :(
