Waking Up Tour Experience
061819 | Emblem3
The day has finally arrived. So happy and excited to see my boys. It’s been too long. These boys put on the best shows.
So Friday, I was working on my group work bc I wouldn’t have ime to do in Saturday night. I ended up getting only three hours of sleep. I was so tired. My head hurt. I didn’t eat till 10 am. I was going to leave at 12 pm. It was sooo god damn hot at the temple. So I finally went home. I didn’t even shower till 1. We had to check in at 3:30. I was so tired. I decided not to wear makeup bc I knew we would come home late and I didn’t want to go through the hassle of wiping it off. I just wanted to come home and sleep. I wore workout pants and a sports bra because I knew I was going to be jumping around and jamming hard. I was going to make faces like I did at BandLife, but I didn’t have time bc im taking 7 units in a five week period, so summer school is kicking my butt. I promised Keaton at Santa Monica but totally did not pull through. Sorry keats :(
So we finally arrived and got in the Early Entries line. I just took my accounting homework out and started doing that. They finally let us in for “soundcheck”. It was only two songs. Then we got posters and a lanyard. We went back outside and waited in the VIP line. It was so worth it getting early entries bc we had to come out while M&G were still in there. Then we got to get in line first before M&G. We waited outside forever. I got subways and water. We met this girl’s mom. She was super nice and sweet. Finally we were going in and the security guard said he is going to have to wand us. That didn’t even happen. We got in. My sister got like second row. I went to the restroom. When I came back out she suddenly got like pushed back bc two wheelchairs came to be on the sides of where she was. The girls in back of us were being so obnoxious and immature. You could hear them saying that they were going to shove everyone aside to get to the front. I wasn’t about to let that happen. That’s so rude. And they had the audacity to ask me how old I thought they were. Lmao. They looked like they were 12 and acted like they were 12. I was just being nice and said 15.
Opening acts finally started. Couldn’t get in the mood with them. I wasn’t feelin their music. Although, The Ready Set’s Love Like Woe was my jam in middle school and I even put it in my senior project for high school. It was so fun jamming to that song live.
FINALLY, E3 came on at like fucking 10:30. Bitches, behind me started shoving. Wasn’t gonna let that happen. They kept shoving this skinny girl right next to me. Held her so she wouldn’t get fucking whiplash. Jammed so hard to their set. So much fun. Everyone was sweaty. It was gross. Omitting a lot of info. Caught Wes singing to me a few times. I felt like he was staring in my direction, but I couldn’t really see his eyes so I put my glasses on. Then I could see his eyes. I feel like he was singing to me. I felt like he remembered me and my sis because he was looking at us when he was singing. Like switching gazes between us. There was one time when he was just looking at me and singing for a while. Idk is he was looking at me or not but I blew him a kiss anyways and he smiled. Ahhh wes. You are such a cutie. I was looking down at my phone and wes ended up throwing his pick in our direction. Suddenly, everyone around me started screaming and I’m like wtf. and Tia’s like DID YOU CATCH IT? and i was like catch what? and shes like HE JUST THREW THE PICK. I shined my flash light and the girl next to me was stepping on it. I tried to grab it but I couldn’t. Then idk why people started pushing so we ended up moving to the side a little. I shined the flashlight again and I saw it and quickly grabbed it. Now I have a pick from wes and keats. Someone started smoking weed and my sis is very sensitive to smell she was about to throw up. She got a napkin and put it over her nose. I was looking down at my phone bc my mom texted me and I looked up right when drew asked if we’re okay but idk if he was talking to us so I just looked down. He was looking our way so I’m pretty sure he was asking my sister that. He’s such a sweetie pie. The keys ended up malfunctioning so they improved a few songs. then something happened with the mic or earpiece or i don’t even know. They also started singing Jaiden and wes was saying how Drew wrote it about a girl that went to Thailand to study Buddhism. Hello Drew, I’m Buddhist. and I’m Thai. Hit me up. lol jk. But he should def come to the Thai Temple in the valley.
It was finally over. When we were walking out, I saw Strombros dad and stepmom. Wanted to take a pic with the so waited till they stopped talking to this girl. While we were waiting, I was trying to find Kory and I finally saw him so I ran to him to take a pic with him. I asked if I could take a pic with him and asked him to take it bc I absolutely hate taking selfies and I’m absolutely not good at taking selfies. I stood next to him and wrapped my arm around his waist and he put his arm over my shoulder. We were about to take the pic when this girl just came up to ask him why people are taking pics with him. Like seriously. Kory’s Wes’s best friend. So I gave him a side hug and I was like “he’’s the best friend” and he’s like “for wearing this jacket” Kory, you goof. Anyways, he got the pic and then my sis took a pic with him too. Totally forgot to hug him. Totally forgot to tell him congrats on his modeling gigs.
Rushed back to Mr. Stromberg. The girl was finally done talking and I was like “Hi!" and gave me a hug and kissed my forehead. He was like “hi” and their step mom was like “hey, how are you?” and I’m like “good! how did you feel about your sons performing tonight?” and they said they were proud and yaddy ya. I went to stand between them to take the pic and Mr. Stromberg kissed me on the head again. Then when I was done taking the pic he kissed me on the forehead again. He then asked my sis if she wanted to take a pic too. When we were done, I said thanks so much! and they were like Thanks for coming!! they were so sweet. I didn’t want to wait after to meet the boys because I knew they were going to take a while to come out since all their friends and fam was there. Plus, I needed to wake up early for the Thai Temple. Went home. Too excited to sleep. The show was amazing. Love them so much. Can’t wait to see more.
