kill the drama.

i love how its past 3AM and i just started writing a mini review of the punchline show to keep ppl happy.

so today aisha, maria, and i braved terrorist threats surrounding the republican national convention and a mini heat wave to get to penn station and take the LIRR to farmindale, LI. we got on the wrong train first and somehow got to the venue around 5.. riana got there at freaking 9:30AM and got to eat lunch with punchline and called me right after and we promptly had an 'aaahhhthatssofuckingawesomee' session. it was good good times.

got to the the downtown, found amanda, sed hi and all that good stuff after getting lost for a bit, and stood in the line with these two girls who were at the FOB KF show in june. i dont know what i thought of them. they were ok i guess. we saw paul peek out from the back and the two girls had this huge thing about whether or not to talk to him or drag riana out of the dressing room where the guys were playing poker. i cant play poker. random thought.

they let us in, and we kind of mingled throughout the first two opening bands.. both were kinda ska with the tubas and saxes and all that stuff. the first band was called blue barraccuda or something and i thought they were kind of a joke and got really tedious in a sense. i liked high school football stars better. i got annoyed with the taller of the two girls (ugh i forgot her name) cuz she was right up front and she was so mothering tall you couldnt see anything and my view was completely blocked. oyy.

uh i somehow got pushed onto the barrier before baysides set and got between these three guys that started shoving me so i yelled at them and told them to stop fucking shoving me and id get out after punchline so calm the fuck down. and they did. yay for that. bayside had some inflatable alien fetus in a jar with water and after their set, the dude next to me got it. so basically i was being sprinkled with water from that jar. it was hilarious tho, seeing this guy clutching a retarded alien creature in a broken jar. bayside was really good. when they played masterpiece i didnt know what to do with myself i was so happy.

while punchline was setting up i told chris we got him necco wafers [as usual] and he got this huge smile on his face and was like 'i love those!!' lol. the setlist: not afraid, heart transplant, GETTING THERE IS GETTING BY, open up, just getting started, a sharp is a flat. ugh and they didnt do play. bleehhh. steve totally pimped the top hat that he asked for and riana gave him. when he thanked her onstage me and aisha screamed like groupies for her lol. it was awesome. or asm. whatever. steve even wrote about it in his journal:

NEWSFLASH: I would like to thank Rheanna for bringing me a tophat to the show at the downtown. I dont know if I spelled her name right. I hope I did, Thank you so much. I have a top hat now... its official.

i have like two shots of paul cuz he was so damn far away. oy. steve came over to our side once and was like staring at the alien baby and i started to laugh cuz it was so pathetic. damn alien baby in a jar. i got FOOTAGE OF DANCING and pix on my dying camera... i kinda thought it was going to explode or something. steve slapped hands after the set and when he saw me he did an 'ah! you!' point. we rule the world, riana and aisha.

we got out before catch-22 and hung around the bathroom and merch area. i was so disgusting it was ridiculous. got merch (the punchline dance party shirt ive wated since who knows when), bumped into steve. got pix. he sed hed only take the pic if i wore the tophat. oy so i did. amanda wasnt feeling that great and i didnt know what to do. so we gave her a whole lot of hugs. hung out more. sang along to the catch-22 karaoke version of 'somebody told me'..watched in horror as a dance pit emerged. tried to find chris to give him the necco wafers. went outside and ended up talking to jack from bayside with riana. i look like a whore in the pic i took with him lol. found chris, pj, and steve in the back loading up the trailer. pj: 'hellooo ladies!' chris was ecstatic about the necco wafers and we ended up hanging around there for a bit kind of debating about how good they were. uh so lots of hugs and goodbyes ensued... chris loves his necco wafers far too much. pj was acting 'normal' again. i swear its his gf who makes him weird at shows. we left for the train station and ended up waiting aimlessly for like an hour. went back to the city and home.

i hate how i wont see them again until november for the mest tour. ugh. i cant go to the krome show on saturday cuz ill be camping out for marthas bday party in connecticut. blehhhhh. and i missed hipv today at the continental and i missing them tomorrow at the downtown. this isnt my week very much. punchline makes me so happy its sick.
