most amazing night that almost wasn't

after weeks of bugging every single possible person for a ticket to the MTV World Stage concert and coming up short, i gave up and switched on my sour grapes mode

BUT my supergirl bestie melly managed to get me a ticket last minute from her colleague who couldn't stay for the concert and post party. THANK YOU LYDIA!!

so i got dressed in record time, got there asap. melly, karen and i had already missed four performances that i didn't really care about since i was there for Kasabian, they were the last one.

we got the gold pass which was supposed to be better but i thought it was pretty crappy because it was way at the back where you have to see everything from a screen. chilled for a while when All American Rejects were performing, where melissa taught me the chorus of 'i wanna' (i don't listen to the radio ok)

anyhoo i was thinking 'oh man! i need to get closer to Kasabian!' so, melly once again working hermojo, developed a plan to get me into the mosh pit. (oh melly and karen could get in the pit because they had a media pass, both from TIC) so the plan was to get this total stranger to borrow me her media pass. And it worked!

ok ok fast forward to Kasabian. AHHH!! i was super excited! i hustled my way to get as front as possible, i was literally two people away from Tom Meighan, well if you don't count the stage and security. they performed 8 songs (all to which i shouted the lyrics to :) vlad the impaler, shoot

the runner, underdog, fire, where did all the love go, empire, club foot and L.S.F. AWESOME! i was super high! didn't care at all that my heels were killing me and my leggings were not at all breathable, the borrowed pass smelled like cigarettes, or that i was covered in my own and everyone else's sweat.

i really had a great time and so did everyone around me, oh there was this guy with an afro, he definitely had a blast. plus there was some crowd surfers (who kicked and fell on people. idiots)

best damn 30 minutes of my life!

then we went for the post party at mos, where i bumped into brian. he couldn't get in though cause he was late, he was pretty bummed (it's too early to rub it in)

Melly did try her best, plus it wasn't that great :]

anyhoos that was some crazy awesome night, and i learned two things

a) if you want something real bad, take the risk

and b) melissa is a genie

the All American Rejects
Tom Meighan of Kasabian!

snapped pics of our post party passes while we were chilling on our plastic rain coat

anyhoo, the blouse that i wore must have stretched through out the night thanks to the heavy embellishments, plus all the jumping didn't help. . so, that'll be all the pics ya'll ever gonna see =]
