Gerard, Ray, Mikey, Frank and Bob, you have to read this

Most of my pit experiences have been really great. I was a little worried before I went to Megadeth last year, but the massive guys were some of the nicest in the world, and really looked out for all 5ft of me, despite the fact they didn't know me at all. To be fair, sometimes I go to a gig thinking 'I'm just gonna have a chilled one tonight', then before I know it, I'm right down the front! Clearly I need some sort of minder/sensible person for these situations....

Green Faerie - I'm really looking forward to the Jimmy Eat World gig tomorrow now...Camden w00t!

*Hugs Tabitha* You are amazing. Thank you. My thought processes are a wee bit scrambled at the moment, but as soon as I get my head together, I will PM you.

Thank you everybody for your support and love. You all rock my socks. And thank you MCR for bringing everyone in this thread together. I love you boys, you are helping me so much right now.

Loz, you sound much better. I am so glad to hear it. My thoughts have been with you, and will continue to be until I hear that everything is okay.

I've sent you another PM, by the by. *kisses*

The pit was great on Friday night. It was really rough at first and the band had to remind people that the front people were getting crushed, It was quite severe at some points. Everyone was falling over, but just onto more people, and by the time you were nearly horizontal you were pushed back again, it felt like being on a rocking boat, Lol. I think it was because people were pushing the whole crowd at both sides.

The low point was someone from a balcony emptying an entire pint of beer over me and my friends head, but it was such a shock that we just burst out laughing, my hair smelt rather awful though, Hehe.

The band was amazing, they were really good, I always think that some bands can let you down live, but Jimmy Eat World were just amazing. And the whole crowd singing every word to 'Hear You Me' was brilliant.
I'm sure you'll love it Loz!

So have you guys seen the thread where people are asking for their personal cell phone numbers and addresses? Oy. Stalker much? I mean, I know you could email them back in the Bullets days but sadly, we are in the post-Parade teenie Apocalypse. I'm surprised they even go outside. I mean, I'd love to give them a letter of thanks, to know that there was a brief moment in time where they read my words and knew how appreciative I was of them and what they do. But I'm never going to try and get their phone numbers. That gets into creepy territory.

Yet another reason I'm glad I'm not famous. I'll stick to being the unknown in the photos rather than the center of attention.

Uh can you imagine?
I mean I guess every time that MCRs phone numbers are leaked they all have to change their numbers because they'd endlessly get called by teenies!
I'd hate that!
I mean if Gerard or Bob or anyone in the band came up to me and said "Hey heres my number" I wouldn't tell a soul.
It wouldn't be fair on them.
I keep my phone number to myself and the people I trust.
Never would I be so stupid as to give it to some random internet perv!

This is why I need to take more sick days.

TARA!! This is (mostly) for you!

Okay, everyone on this thread knows about my embarrassing, insane, unexplainable teenie-ness over Ben Affleck. I don't understand it, I don't get it, I hate beefcake, I like scrawny, pasty, fem guys. But Affleck just inexplicably does it for me. Has for years.

I have never wanted to be Jimmy Kimmel more in my life:


I'm sure this is old news by now, but remember I don't watch television and I don't have cable, so I have to catch this stuff when it hits You Tube.

And my adoration for Josh Groban just skyrocketed, It went from dirty little secret to full-fledged "Where the hell do I sign up to be president of his fan club?"

And I want one of those "Honk If You're Fucking Ben Affleck" bumper stickers. I have the "Affleck, You The Bomb in Phantoms, Yo" bumper sticker. I want to put that one right next to it.

That is so made of win!

I hope everyone is having a good day.

Hey, Just in case... Tab here's the download you asked for, in case there was a problem with the PM. Yes i'm slightly strange, but i'm fine with it.

Hope everyone is having/ has had a nice day. Work is still very very annoying, but I am struggling through. I'm nothing if not stubborn.

xX.BeccaXx.:

You know what’s annoying me about the music business at the moment? My Chemical Romance fans, that’s what. Before The Black Parade came out, all MCR fans were united. Being one of their fans meant we were all part of something bigger; we were no longer alone…but now what? We’re all divided and at war with one another, and as if that’s not bad enough, we have to deal with all the little teeny-boppers who know the words to one song, and are “broken hearted” because Gerard is married! Well I say good luck to Gerard and his wife, and the rest of the MCR fans; stick together and it will all be good again…

I got this from an old issue of Rock Sound, the one with the MCR calender. I agree completely.

1) the mosh pit thing... I'm 12, and haven't been in a mosh pit. probably won't be in a mosh pit for a while... about 2 years until MCR comes back to TO with the new CD. I'm going to a...BON JOVI concert in 2 weeks, with my boyfriend. No mosh pit. (no duh) Shoot me, I like Bon Jovi.

2) the MCR's phone no thing...I would like to email them. When I get to a MCR concert i'm gonna try and meet them. Whenever anyone I know from here goes to a MCR concert and says they're gonna try and meet them, I PM them a long letter I want MCR to read. But I'm not gonna try and get their phone no. Anyone remember when Frank's Grandparents phone no. got leaked, and people called at 2 am to cause they were Frank's relatives? That was shameful. I was ashamed to be a fan of the same band as these people. I was ashamed of them. That should never happen. We can talk about them here, and send messages to them that they'll never read, but they are them and we are...well... us. Just fans. They don't, and never will, know us personally. So we can't just call them. It doesn't work that way.

Karlie, you rocked my world with that. I'm going to be showing it to everyone at work tomorrow. My assistant is going to pee her pants laughing.

People stoop so low to talk to the people they idolise!
It really is shameful and wrong of them to do things like ring Franks grandpees!It really is unjust!
And Karlie I totally agree with you I felt ashamed too. I didn't want to be part of the backlash at the fans. I wanted to crawl out of the concert when I heard that! We may talk about them and they may never get to meet us and findd out how much we honour and respect them. They are my idols. I will never ever do anything like that. When I tried to meet them it was all profesional. I was trying to interview them for my documentry on the band and their success for my college assignment. I went through the proper channels. Asking their management AND their press manager. Unfortunatly it was a no. But am I bitter? Am I disheartened? No! I got back up on that horse and now I have another chance to meet them when I go and work at Kerrang! for two weeks during the summer! And if I don't meet them so what...all those letters I sent...I don't give a damn if they go unread or unreplyed. I'm just happy I actually sent them and that I got a load off my chest believeing that they'd be read by our boys!

i agree. i mean imagine how Frank must feel abt his grandparetns being buggered like that. and he's such a sweet guy too, i would NEVer to anything like that to hurt him

Sarahbob -- Will auntie be stopping by this weekend? I'm polishing off my plans and was hoping you would know by now.

I can't believe in all the planning I forgot to go through my comix and pull some out for signing. D'OH! I remembered that this morning, so I spent from 5-30 - 6:30 am in my comic book room going through my collection pulling out the titles I want signed. I seriously need to weed some stuff out of my collection. I think I may put some up on eBay. I'm just running out of space.

I have an entire car full of merch, and one tiny bag of my own stuff. Oh, the irony. Although I freely admit that the coolest things are 'Ringo's last pages, oh but they are beautiful. Now all I have to do is hope my house doesn't burn down before I can hand them over!!

I'm also taking some photos for Marvel, so assuming they don't want exclusive rights to them, I'll post some up on a bloggy thing here and link for everyone, or link to the HI blog when it's all said and done.

And Collision Kiss, I really do hope that nobody was "buggering" Frank's grandparents. They're way too old for that. I mean, I know I'm a stupid American (Grace will back me up on that one) but I know from enough British/Scottish/Irish films (and "Heathers" ) that "buggering" is a whole different ballgame from "bugging." Just saying. *is frightfully and strangely disgusted that I am now worried about the state of Gramma and Grampa Iero's bums*

Yup that is what it means in England!
Coz we're dirty sods!
Then again so is sod...
Oh well!

I think that too many people want to meet them and tell them their life story which is Epic Fail...I mean there are so many people who want to meet them but never get the chance!

WOW!!!!

WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, at Tab's post. "Buggering"... Just a simple change from "Bugging" yet it changes the theme of the post to something quite eyebrow raising, Hehe. And also Tab I keep picturing your comic book room, and i'm sure i'm being unrealistic. I wish I had a whole room to dedicate to a hobbie or a collection, I bet it looks amazing. My friend has a Liverpool Football club room, and that is pretty strange, because it has everything you could imagine. When I saw it, my friend Laura said I should have a MCR one, Lol... I think she was joking although it did give me some ideas. Since I am a 21 year old who is parting with her posters very unwillingly, my imagination is running into overdrive.

I did feel sorry for Frank's grandparents when I heard someone phoned them. I mean what were those fans hoping for? What would you have to discuss with the grandparents of someone you admire, in the middle of the night?! Sometimes I can't understand these things...

xxx

Tab- sadly, my aunt will not be going to MegaCon. *sigh* If you're doing the book, I'll just PM you stuff I want put in it, stuff I want MCR to see. Have fun!!!! And btw, I LOVE Runaways now!!! I am on my way to being a complete freak... not that I'm not already.

Do you guys think I 'attract' messed up people? I seem too... I swear, I spend my life telling people they have something to live for. It's my goddamn LIFE. And It shouldn't have to be.

I'm so sorry for that mistake! lol ....well, i'm malaysian & too well-versed in brit slang ....

Good Morning! Interesting post on buggering.....

And for the record, please know that was all meant for shits and giggles, I was not making fun of you at all. I saw an opening for a funny post, and I took it. But while we're on the subject: bugger, sod, bloody, shag, and fag (did I miss any? I'm sure I missed a few. Help?) are all terms where the Queen's English differ from the President's English. And since even we don't have any damn idea what the President is saying most of the time, that's pretty bad.

Karlie, I have photos of my comic book room, and once this weekend insanity is over, I fully intend to load them and post a link to them so you can see my Fortress of Dorkitude.

Morning, Jules. How's life?

Guys, lets all send some love Loz's way, okay? Lift her up and help her out.

Gah. I haven't even *started* packing the merch and I'm already tired. Meh. This is too hard. Order something else. Kidding. I'm just waiting on Mr. Coffee to fill my cup with dark, lovely, caffeinated joy.
