Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon were awesome :D went to see them last night. Kate and I wanted to get there early so we could get to the front. We got on the bus at about 3:15 at Rawtenstall and then the bus journey was going so slow, we thought we were going to be late. Well anyway, the bus picked up some little school kids with awful aqua uniform and they all went upstairs. Then the bus suddenly stopped and pulled over to the side of the road and marched straight upstairs and started shouting. All I heard was "whoever did it get off now". He came downstairs and told us that some kid upstairs had opened the emergency door and the last person who did that fell out onto of a car and died. Hmm....wonderful. Anyway the bus driver called Head Office then the Police. One man got up and said "can I have my money back on the ticket then, I paid for this service and it's not being provided" and the bus driver went on about how he had to stop and couldn't carry on cause it's a safety risk or something so this guy said he wanted to complain so he got a number from a bus timetable and left. The kid who did it left the bus...that means we could go right! No! We weren't allowed. The other kids wouldn't leave the bus so we were waiting about 20-25 minutes as then we were transferred to another X43. We finally got into Manchester, got off at Urbis and went to the food court, got take out burger and chips and went to find the bus that took us to the Carling Apollo. We finally got there and only 2 people were queuing up. The wait was only 2 and a half hours but it went really quickly. We played a lot of hangman and talked to randoms. And we well, I was happily amusing Kate by singing Go Go Emo Rangers over and over again. I don't even like emo but it's such a catchy song, even Aren was singing it. Anyways we finally got in and I got the best place ever. FRONT CENTRE! And I managed to stay there the whole did, bang centre it was amazing!! The support band were The Features and they were excellent then kings of leon came on. Despite not being able to breathe at some points AT ALL and getting my ribs incredibly crushed it was fucking amazing. The gig was brilliant. Best one yet by far. We got out at half 10 and Kate's parents were picking us up at half 11 so we got some ice lollies, a drink and a pink girlie yorkie bar. We went to where the tour buses were and then the lead singer Matt from The Features came out so we talked to him, got his autograph and a few pictures. Then the band came out and these 3 fucking annoying fuckwit girls were shouting out "ooo Gerard, your so nice" and being general twats. Anyway we got Warren the drummer (minus beard), and Kaleb's autograph. They were really nice guys. Kaleb saluted me :P how nice of him. Anyway after that we waited for the parents and they arrived about quarter to midnight. I texted Aren and told him Id be home soon. I got home, went on the net all smelly and sweaty and Aren said he stayed up for me to make sure I was ok.

Today Ste Bennett called round about half 11 and we talked about the documentry for a bit seeing what needed to be done. Went to college at 1, filled in some boring forms and we were meant to go and do Vox Pops but it was raining loads so I came home at half 2. Thats it really, kinda boring today.
