I went to see MCR in aberdeen last night, as many of you will already know Bob was not there due to his wrist problems but I was surprised to see that Frank was also away.   Gerard announced onstage that unfortunately Frank had to return home because of personal problems so I don't think he will be back for any of the other UK dates.   The show was still good but not as good if they had all been there cos Frank is awesome!  I've got some photos and bits of video I'm going to try to sort out and post now x

 This was the first time I have seen Madina Lake and I was really impressed.  When they first came out the crowd was just going mad, everyone was so into it.  Nathan came down to the barrier and told people to crowd surf up and give him a high five!  He said that they knew scotland was awesome cos they had been all over the world but their dad had chose to come see them in Glasgow, and everyone waved to him up on the balcony.

    But then one of the crew got up on stage while the band were playing and talked to Nathan, who then announced that someone was hurt in the crowd and everyone had to stop.  When the crowd moved back there was a guy lying unconscious on the floor.  They couldnt move him, in case he had hurt his back I think, so an ambulance came and the guy got taken out on a stretcher with a neck brace. 

    The show was stopped for about 25mins.  I think it was handled pretty well though and when the band came back out the rest of the show went well.  We saw Mateo afterwards and he said that when they came back out they were all really stressed out cos they had been told the guy might have broken his back.  Later on someone said they had heard the guy was OK though so I hope he was and it just looked worse than it was.

   We got to meet Nathan, Dan and Mateo afterwards when they were going out to the bus, Im not sure where Matthew was but we never saw him.  They were so so nice and friendly. I got the album cover signed  and everyone who wanted autographs and pics could get them and  they were all really happy to chat.  Mateo was talking for so long that the bus seemed to decide just to leave and then him and some people from the support acts all walked down the road with the fans cos they were going to a bar, to meet their record company he said.

   I cant wait for another tour cos Im sure their show would be even better when it doesnt have to get stopped!  I would really encourage anyone who gets the chance to go and see this band cos they are awesome!!!

(I am aware that all the apostrophes are missing from this, for some reason everytime I try to put one in it stops me typing, thanks for reading!)

Just been to an awesome fall out boy show.  Been looking forward to it for ages, I had been thinking I'd have to go  down to leeds to see them so I was so pleased when they announced they were coming all the way up to edinburgh in between festival appearances!  They sounded fantastic as always, pete and joe were racing around and pete climbed up and jumped off some of the speakers, there was a special appearance from Travis from gym class heroes too who came in at the start of the take over the breaks over.  When pete leaned out over the crowd during"saturday" I thought they were actually going to pull him into crowd surfing cos he seemed much further out than usual,  I think security must have been holding him by the ankles at that point. 
  
 Afterwards we knew they had to leave right away to go back to Reading so I thought there wouldn't be much chance of an autograph but we waited anyway. On one side of where the buses were parked they had put up barriers and there were a lot of people there,  so we went and waited at a gate in the wall on the other side.  There was were only about twenty people there and it looked like that was where the bus would have to drive out.  We saw Joe and Pete come out and just go straight on the bus, even dirty wasn't really coming over so I thought we had no chance.  But then we saw patrick coming out and he started walking towards us.  Everyone poked things through the gate and he went along signing them so I got the infinity on high booklet signed and my friend got his ticket done.  It was so nice of him to come over, I was so pleased.  He seemed really cool too,when people thanked him he was just saying "No problem" and he turned to the security guy who had come over with him and said "thanks for doing that" as they walked away. 

Anyway I know this is long and no one will be half as excited by it as me but if you do read it thanks!  

 Hi just so you guys know I am moving this weekend and the people who connect the broadband won't be coming until wednesday so  I probably won't be on for a few days.  So if I don't reply to notes, comments etc I'm not being rude I will later in the week when I can.  I have been packing my stuff all day and I don't think it will ever all go. I have so much more crap than I realised!  Just took down all my MCR ,FOB and green day posters and it looks so bare (will have to negotiate with my fiance about how many will go back up in the new flat lol).  Anyway I am just about to take the computer apart and pack it up so better go. 
Take care x

Me and my boyfriend saw their show in Glasgow last night.  I always get so excited about seeing them and they never dissappoint, last night was no exception it was awesome!!  I was surprised how much they did, after they had played the whole of the black parade they went off stage.  I knew they would come back but I thought we might only get one or two more songs but then they did about half the songs from three cheers too and all my favourites so I was really pleased. 

I had so much fun and I got quite a few pics and vids I am about to try and put up so check them out.  I managed to miss filming the funniest bit though, near the end the security were handing out lots of cups of water which everyone was throwing around.  Frank came right down near the crowd and someone threw one over him!  He was laughing and when the song finished he ran to the back of the stage to get water bottles and soaked that part of the crowd starting a water fight.  When he ran out of water he put his thumb over his bottle of beer and shook it and sprayed everyone, it was really funny.

Sing to me and tell me a story,

Something I'd want to believe.

Take me far away from here,

Untie my chest to breathe.

My heart is sore from this feeling,

My lungs ache from fighting for air,

All of  these thoughts carved a rut in my mind

but then I look at you and I care.

I will never understand this world,

If they want to tear me apart I won't stand in their way,

But they are sure as hell never getting to you,

That's the reason I stay

This is a kind of poem thing I wrote:

 

There is a pause after your question,

Too short for you to notice,

but just long enough,

For my thoughts to condense in my mouth,

And slip out over my tongue,

To settle thickly between us like mist hangs in a valley.

And I realise you have no idea,

only I can see this,

barrier of my own creation,

protecting you but leaving me all the while a little more alone.
