So.

I went to see Cobra Starship Fall Out Boy on Saturday.

Oh God, Gabriel. With the kneeling and the leaping in splits and the gay gay innuendo that was gay, crooning horrible, hilariously morbid things into my ears while swivelling your hips like Bill Beckett's older, sluttier sister. Take me to your basement, please God.

Seriously, Gabe Saporta is just such a goddamned brilliant performer and Vicky sings like the lead singer in Aqua (as in "Barbie Girl"'s Aqua) and it is so very adorable and if I didn't love Cobra Starship before I would now. As it is they have just justified my love for them a miiiiillion times over.

It amuses me terribly that Bill Beckett ended up singing Maja's Part in "Bring It." And he still sounded girlier.

You know what would completely make my life?

Gabe Saporta lying supine, crooning up into his microphone while Maja straddles his hips and curls one hand into his hair and holds his head down to the floor and moans "Oooh, I'm ready for it" to him in her deep sexy smoker's voice.

Okay actually, what would completely make my life is if I could just one time have the the privilege of getting stoned off my ass with Travis (McCoy) and Gabe, with some friendly making out thrown in.

Yeah. Cobra Starship is win. Tricksy cracked out win. God, I am so incredibly glad I gave them money. They deserve it. They deserved it for their CD I finally broke down and bought last week and for the t-shirt I bought a few weeks before that, which plasters their name across my bosom and I don't even care that I only have three dollars spending money in my bank account to last me the next five days. It's not like I have to go anywhere. There's a shitload of canned tuna in the house.


So Cobra came on first, and I danced my little non-hipster hips off.

I was actually dancing for most of the show. In fact, that's all I did during Paul Wall's set since I had absolutely no interest in paying attention to the stage. The beats were hot, in any case. I could feel my entire body vibrating and it was awesome.

I suspect Pete Wentz just likes the Paul Wall because he's hideously vulgar yet so completely incomprehensible that it doesn't actually matter how vulgar he is.

Suffice it to say, I will not be purchasing any grills from him.


After Paul Wall The Academy Is came on and OMFG THE BUTCHER. Clearly TAI is just a band that needs to be heard live. I felt like the beat was punching me in the chest throughout the whole set, and it was a damn good beating.

My chest actually did feel sore when I stumbled out of the venue around 11:30, go figure.

Bill Beckett was very pretty.

The Butcher pwns me.


Then +44 came on. They were fun and bouncy and they played "Rock Show" YAY! It was really fun watching Mark make giant crazy eyes at the audience.

Travis (not-McCoy) spits a lot. It's kind of nasty.


Then Fall Out Boy came on. Surprise of the evening:

Pete Wentz.

Pete is actually one of the most unphotogenic people I've ever encountered. I didn't see this coming at all. I mean, he's pretty good looking in photos. It just didn't occur to me that he'd be leaps and bounds hotter in person.

Seeing him from twenty feet away with the added benefit of depth perception, close enough to make out the veins on the back of his hands, oh my God he is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL and I kind of want to FIRE EVERYONE FOR NOT TELLING ME THIS.

His skin is just, oh god, like butter and his grin doesn't so much light up a room as burn your clothes clear off your body, holy crap.

STUNNINGLY, ETHEREALLY BEAUTIFUL in a way that simply does not show up in photos or video (not even the live video they were broadcasting on the screens, so I know it wasn't just in-the-moment fan mania making me see things) and I WANT A VEELA AU RIGHT NOW.

Patrick, on the other hand, actually is fairly photogenic and looked pretty much the same as he does in his photos. He isn't much of a performer. I have a feeling he'd be much better at a smaller venue.

Hm.

Pete didn't do any Patrick molestation during this show that I saw.

::sad::

Dirty came out to dance "Dance, Dance." Dirty also introduced some of the other bands. Dirty was just basically all around awesome and I kind of want him to sign my bra.

Kind of really a lot.

Joe was also made of win and very Joe-like and I would very much like for him to be there when I'm getting stoned with Travis and Gabe in my fantasy dream life. His hair and his stubble and his general Joe-ness were just WHEEE.

Andy did a drum solo at the end that was just fucking ill, where it almost sounded like the drums by themselves had a melody and I felt suckerpunched in the chest all over again, and then bright silver confetti was raining down from the ceiling and sticking to my sweat-slick face and all was right with the world and my feet were killing me and everybody went home.


I met natilathehun for all of 12 seconds before she flitted off.

The crowd was full of children, which was kind of lame. An ocean of children. It worked out in the end when the ocean kept pushing us forward in waves until we went from somewhere in the center of the crowd to maybe eight/nine feet from security. fashes and I stuck close to each other the whole time and towards the end could actually feel the blast of heat every time flames shot up behind Andy. I was raising my arms up in the air less out of fannish worship and more out of need to cool myself off.

My feet got very, very trod on.

In fact, the surface layer of skin on select areas of two of my toes is still numb and I suspect I pinched a nerve somewhere in there.

:|

I only got one blister though, and it was small enough that it was actually completely healed by the next morning.

Towards the end of the show fangirls started to drop like flies around us. I personally witnessed four or five girls being handed over to security guards crying/in a dead eyed faint. The sweat was rolling down my face, but then, I was sufficiently hydrated and that was exactly how I wanted it. It was pretty much my goal for the evening to sweat like Patrick.

GOAL ACHIEVED.

Seriously, rolling down my face and it was awesome. I had an extremely thorough five hour workout and I'm pretty much still sore.


In other news.

I got my hair relaxed/cut last Wednesday/Friday. I'm very, very pleased with my new look. I may post pictures later when I'm feeling less lazy.

You pretty much described my concert experience, minus the 110 degree out door concert part. LOLz.

Cobra Starship blew me away. Seriously. I had no idea that they were going to be so good.

And William Beckett is just so damn pretty I can't really think past that. Although I've been listening to TAI a lot lately and he isn't just a pretty face is he? hehe.

Yeah there was no Patrick molestation during our concert either, and I thought that it was because they were filming the DVD. If it happened by you too, maybe Pete and Patrick are fighting or something.... ::shrug::

It's entirely possible they were also filming the DVD during my show. There were people w/ large professional looking video cameras pointed at the stage.

OH GOD THE COBRA. I had high hopes, and then they totally blew me away.

I love Cobra Starship almost as much as I love FOB. And that's a lot of love. GABE.

Pete is *ridiculously* pretty. Pictures definitely do not do him justice.

Thanks for the add! <3


And that was pretty much mt HCT date in a nutshell. :]
