wow. i meant to post this a while ago...

  • wow. i meant to post this a while ago... it was just restored from a saved draft. i think i actually fell asleep writing this haha i'll keep it here anyways.

    [saved from stored draft]:
    i love mewithoutYou.

    we made it to London around noon today. it's about 2am now. i've gotta get some sleep soon!
    i just thought i'd post a quick little update before i finally went to bed. tomorrow is a big day. GIAN is a huge deal to us. in '06, we played a side stage, very early in the day. here we are in 2008 headlining the whole thing. it's crazy. thank you.... (and this is where it ended hahaha)

    so, it's been 2 weeks since the last update. life rules. hope you guys are doing so great... we came home from the Jimmy tour and had two days off in Nashville before we went out to the UK for GIAN. such great shows. somehow i think our show review got mixed up with another bands in the last issue of Kerrang. i think our review was actually mixed up with Mindless Self Indulgence. unless i was unconscious when i began to pry hands off my sweaty breasts. hahahaaa what is it with Kerrang and my boobs? leave em alone geez. apparently, i also stage dove during our set. badical. i wish, anyway. besides all the insanity with press - which we heard was an honest mistake, although i doubt it and i haven't even read it to really decide for myself - the shows were incredible.

    i have to go ahead and say it now... in the history of our band, the best crowd and overall best show, hands down, was in Glasgow, Scotland - i'm really sorry i might have forgotte the date - was it may 12th? thank you to everyone who came out to the show. the line was insane. wrapped around the building and so far down the street. haha. we love Scotland. also, thanks to those of you who stuck around til after the guys and i all got showers and packed to go home... you guys were so much fun to hang out with. for those of you who weren't there, i will try to paint the picture for you. i walked out the bus to pack my stuff and told everyone that as soon as we were all ready we were going to come sign and hang out by the bus, so EVERYONE stuck around. seriously, like 400 kids hahah. the cops came and told everyone to leave and by the time we got out there only 30 or so kids had been allowed to stay. we had to whisper the entire time we signed and took pics. but it was so much fun haha so yeah... thank you guys.

    so, i'm talkin to my friend "Mono-Dog" on ichat. he's a fan of the band. apparently, my screen name was posted somewhere. oh well hahah. he plays a fender strat. he loves horror movies but his favorite new movie is juno. besides those fun little facts it's awesome having a conversation with a fan. we both love stephen king's Pet Cemetery. it reminds me of playing small clubs having REAL conversations with fans. with people. the guys and i are hoping to bring back some of those types of moments. especially within the fan club. it all takes time working out because now that the band is more successful any little thing can become "an issue", which is weird haha. but we are working hard and really trying to keep you guys in the loop and make it feel even more of a community.

    if you are in LA... go to Amoeba tonight, Eli "Paperboy" Reed is playin! i was gonna go but i can't make it now. anyway, he's great. different and the show will probably be a lot of fun.

    i'm outta here

Submitted By: Amber Well Hayley, it seems like i'm the first one to comment this one since like 6 months? Hahaha, oh well. I'm just very bored right now. I wanted to find a blog of yours (the guys hardly post any :\ ) to write something. Which hopefully and eventually you'll read. It is 2:52pm where I live... Illinois sucks. Especially this little crappy town i'm stuck in. OSWEGO. >:P You guys should have a show out here... Where an hour away from Chicago... :] The last time I saw you guys was actually.... Five days ago? Yeah. Saturday. I still can't beleive I actually saw you guys. :D My dream come true. I think it was a great show. Hayley's voice was amazing and I loved Josh's improved guitar solo on Misery Business.. Well it's BEEN improved.. I own the DVD/CD thing from last time you went to Chcago for the Final RIOT! tour. I also like that part when you were singing "How am I supposed to feel/when you're not here..." And you and Taylor.. like.. magically disappeared would be the word I think? Well.. yeah. I thought that part was creative. I'm glad I knew the words to every song you played.. Except "Where the Lines Overlap". I just kinda stood there with big eyes and watched. :] What was creepy, I can't remember it with a clear memory, but, at the end, Josh did like a peace sign? And it was write after I did my own? I was either dreaming or it was a coincidence. :O I would've liked if you'd put "My Heart" in the set list from your first CD, but that's just me. Other than that I loved it. My emo-ish cousin was with us... She was groaning the whole time. >:[ FREAK! :P She is NEVER coming with me to another Paramore concert again! I'm already saving up for next time you are out here. I have about $53.47? Maybe? I don't know. But first i'm going to pre-order the Brand New Eyes Deluxe Set thing... I NEED that one! And in case you're wondering how long i've known about you're band.. Since APRIL 9th, 2008!!!!!!! :DDDD Blah. :P Imma dummy. ^.^ Well.. see ya! Maybe?
