Ok, I don't think anyone's started a thread about this already, although I see that Hot Rod Jared wrote about it in another thread, but I thought it was worthy of it's own thread, hahahha....plus I haven't started a thread in a while so there 
OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD.........I could go on.
Last night was amazing!
I got there about 3.30/4ish, and there were only about 7 other people.
I saw Matt (lead singer from The Features), and their bassist outside, but my friends were at the shop, and I was too embarrassed to say anything
....but later on they were back outside, and me and my friends went over and said hi and got a pic with them 
...although I felt kinda bad because they were talking to some people, but I didn't want to miss my chance again, so
Walked past the tour bus a few times, hoping someone might come out, but alas no.
There was a power cut, and the security guys n' girls were saying that the gig might have to be persponed (sp?) until Wed, luckily it came on at 6 and we went in only about 10 mins late.
I was right at the front of the queue, (well, behind 2 other groups), and it was SO hot, so went for a walk to see how long the queue was and heard them sound checking (four kicks 
). I was so excited, and personally would have been dancing away, but everyone was just sitting there...and it was really cool (as in the air, lol).
So went in........The Features were really good (as usual), but the drummer kept yawning and looked a little bored 
but at other times he got right into it, so
Nacho got a lot of shout outs from the crowd
. I don't think everyone realised who he was though The people behind me kept saying, ah, isn't it sweet that he's helping set up, I think they thought he was a member of KOL. Ladies he's their cousin! (but practically the fifth king ).
The Kings played an amazing set
They started with Taper Jean Girl, then Pistol of Fire..... Ended with Trani, before coming on for the encore and playing....fuck, what song did they do first
, shit I can't remember 
, but they followed it with Head to Toe, then Slow Night So Long.
Nathan was chewing gum (pink if you're interested, lol) and blowing bubbles, and he and Caleb were both drinking white wine.
Matt was wearing the bandana, and Jared wasn't wearing his new red shoes, but sticking with his old faithful white
They all looked rather purty
There were a lot of bottles thrown on stage, and someone threw their knickers. When the first bottle was thrown Caleb did a really sweet little smile 
He also did the arm thing! First he just put his arms up, and I was like, what was all the fuss about? Later on he "flexed his muscles" (haha!), and then he did the whole backward arm thingy
That family is so flexile, later on, can't remember what song, Jared leant right back, he was nearly 90 degrees!
Ooh, and Matthew did the dance! (during Happy Alone). Caleb also did a little dance (in a different song I think though), ahhh. And Caleb pointed at each member during Wasted Time. And at Jared in Four Kicks "She'll be loving on the boy from the city", and at his belt buckle (can you guess which line/ lol).
Ooh, and someone threw a hat onstage, a trilby, and Jared put it on, and it just worked, it looked great. It fell off though when he was playing, but he put it back on when they went off stage.
My friend got Caleb's plectrum....bitch (j/k)...He used a lot of 'em that night, changing them after every couple of songs.
At the end everyone wanted a set list, but the security guys were being really annoying and saying, no, I can't go onstage...and I'm not calling anyone for you, blah blah blah
I called to Nacho, when it was pretty empty, and was like, Nacho! Can I have a set list PLEASE! And he picked one up and gave it to the guard to give to ME, but by this time there were a loada girls around the sercurity guy, all pleading for the set list. The guy was like, everyone move back. I did...and then he gave it to this fat bitch
.....Anyway, afterwards we were waiting by the tourbus (well, by the gate near the tour bus), and Nathan and Caleb came out (my fucking camera had run out of film ). Caleb came over to my side first , and as he was signing my (shitty little scrap of paper) he was like, hey your glasses fell off (during their perfromance), and I was like, yeah, that was me....he noticed He was really sweet, and he said that I talk too fast (very true ), and started saying yeah but no but yeah....like Vicky Pollard from Little Britain
Nathan also came over and was really cool. I was saying how now, without the beard he can blow really big bubbles and he was like, yeah, no gum in the face hair, haha. I showed them both my T-shirt and they seemed to like it (even if they were a little drunk, lol).
Their legs were so skinny!!!
Me and Sophia (ilovetherazzlekid) were asking them to play Molly's Hangover in Plymouth, and I said it was my 16th birthday, and they said if they remembered (not gonna happen, but still...).
We asked where Jared was, and according to the security lady, he went off in a car with a lady with a perm (haha), according to Nathan he was having stomach problems and was suffering from the green apple trots (aren't big brothers great, haha).
Nacho came out (I also got his autograph), and was like, I've been asked to get 4/5 girls. He's really cool, but (at that moment) a tad shallow...he took some blonde girls wearing (in my opinion ) inappropriate gig wear, haha....little floaty skirts, etc (great for the beach, but can you really get into it at a gig in that?). Some other girls ran after them. I felt a bit sorry for their friends, because two of them were left, and the others (I'm guessing) got to go on the bus. However, I don't feel that sorry for them...When Nacho came out she was like, who's he? And I was like he's their cousin
The security woman got rather pissed off with Nacho for taking those girls in, but
After about 5 minutes she left anyway, and then the gate was open! Some people ran in, but I waited for her to come back and leave...and then went in for the kill, lol.
Went inside and met Matthew He looked great (even better in the flesh ), and had caught the sun
We were standing right by the stairs to their dressing room, and easily could have gone in although being the good little gilrs that we are, didn't (maybe in Plymouth though....haha).
So, basically a FAN DABBY DOSY evening (apart from my camera running out of film ).
(btw, sorry this is really long, but.......I'm just a tiny (hmm) bit excited...(and I've just been to school for revision which I could NOT concentrate in, t'was physics).
Will post pics when I get them (if they're any good.....which is unlikely).xx
edit: i now see that there is already a 19th june thread...that'll teach me for writing such a fucking long (and probs boring....sorry) report.xx
