kill the drama.

i dont like ben jelen's "entourage" but i do like HIM very much. very much. mhm. yes so aisha and i, being the ben jelen dorks that we are, made a $10+ taxi trip to the knitting factory downtown. and we didnt kno the exact address, and jon didnt help much. "its between two huge brown buildings...near city hall..." what. no its not. it was on '79 leonard st.' like we thought...and also the place was COVERED in ben jelen posters. -swoon- the guy at the door was like 'and will you be drinking tonight?' i just gave him a weird look and sed 'does it LOOK like we are?' bum. im sure other ppl would be like 'of course!' but i dont do that. so we actually couldve just gotten in without paying for the ticket, but for some reason we ended up doing it. hmm dont remember how THAT happened. one of the rock the vote reps tried to get me to vote but i told him i wasnt old enough. 'here you sign up here...' dude im not old enough. 'huh? what? just register!' im 15! its illegal! 'what?' and then his partner cut in and asked how old i was and THEN the rep realized his mistake. haha. we hung out on the floor for like an hour, bored. and ready to stab this 'mystery person' in the balcony who kept taking pictures or something with his/her BLINDING FLASH. it was so painful. so blah blah then half an hour late, the rock the vote spokesman came on, and then damien from trl came out and i just had to take a picture...mhm then ben came out and i freaked. i didnt like the audience cuz most were sluts dressed in miniskirts or trying to dance to the music...which u really cant. u can kinda move ur head or hips, whatever, but u cant pretend ur in a club. im just rambling nevermind. anyway, he was lovely. aaahh. i liked his bassist too. he did rocks, come on, slow (aisha we heard that one at macys!), shell hear you...and a few songs i didnt know. hes a freaking musical prodigy. aisha had this very funny quote about him being one just because he grew up alone with no friends...hmm...remind me later. he played the violin, guitar and piano. oh MY did he bang that piano hard. he ROCKED IT like no ones business. and i could go on cuz im happy like that. hah. he was his little witty self wen he did talk..."hah i cant read...but i CAN vote. and you should too!..." haha the rock the vote guy started subtly bashing bush and that was very amusing. so ben came out for an encore and was like 'we have two surprise guests for you...zac and taylor hanson!' and the crowd went wild. i heard it as 'zac and liz hanson' and so it didnt register. whoopdeedoo. it was cool...but seriously, everyone around me was freaking out and callign their friends. and i honestly thought i had became deaf after this...woman next to me SCREAMED in my ear. ther was this 40 or 50 something lady next to us who was so absorbed in the songs it was frightening. most of the audience was female teens, gay men, cute metrosexuals, and ur occasional 30-something person. mhm so they did this really good song (dunno wat it was...) very rock worthy lol. yes so the show ended, and aisha and i kinda just hung around the merch table which was hidden in a little corner. i said hi to taylor hanson on the way to coat check. and he sed hey back. HAHA zac hanson got so large, and he was onstage looking like he thought he cud bed any girl in the audience. oh my goodness it was so funny. i love how the first thing i see is ben jelen shirtless. on the poster. which i wouldve gotten except my mother would attack me and rip it up and be convinced im a groupie. hmm. it was a lovely poster...very RAWR worthy. *giggles* mhm yes so we ripeed posters off the walls and sat around hoping he would come out soon. we decided to leave after like half and hour, and stood in the door contemplating leaving. then i turned aorund for no good reason and gasp. tis ben! and body guards? what? yes they gave him bodyguards cuz too many ppl have tried to rape him. maybe. yes so i freeaked and was like "YOU!" and he looked at me and like 1/5 smiled before being urged along by the bodyguard that guarded his ass. yes so we were both like aaahh and went outside. where ben was swarmed by REALLY AGREESSIVE female fans. at least we were mellow and non-harassing and not yelling 'you're sexy!' or 'give it to me!' during give it away. or 'ur hot!' yes so he was like 'im sorry i cant stay...thank u...' etc etc. -sigh- and off he walked into the bootleg sunset of a lamppost. day two a bodyguard or publicist has killed my mood. i was ranting all the way to the subberway. aisha and i walked back home...in the rain. drizzle. pshaw/.
