October 9, 2007MCR's concert in MEXICO CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hi everyone!!!!!!!! so after a long wait.... two days.... I'm finally posting my journal about MCR's concert in Mexico City!!! So here it goes: Ha! I woke up at 3:30 am, so I could go out from home at 4:30am, arriving at 5:15 am to the venue... oh btw I didn't tell my parents I was leaving THAT early, instead the night before I told them that supposedly at 7am a friend was gonna pick me up... I had to lie just because they wouldn't have let me go to the venue that early and alone... So when I arrived to the venue there were 170 people already!!!! I counted 10 tents outside the parking lot... a girl (whom I became firend of) and I arrived at the same time, then we were marked with a number by the first and second girl that had arrived since Friday!!! (I got number 172, Katia -the girl who arrived at the same time as me- got the 171), I just dunno why they were numbering us... I guess to keep a certain order, well they only numbered until the 200... the others that were arriving made another list. Katia and I sat on the floor, I had brought with me a pair of boas (a black one and a purple one for Gerard of course), and a yoghurt and half a doughnout (for me *wink wink*)... it was still dark and we were freezing and very sleepy. Like half an hour after we had arrived, the security guys let us go inside the parking lot, in front of one of the three entries (we were in the A one), then again we sat on the floor. She did take a blanket with her, so she was a bit warmer than me. After she fell asleep, I tried to do the same, I just got to sleep like 40 mins 'cause of the cold, then I had the terrible urgence to... pee. Fortunately for me, there was another girl looking for a restroom, and because we didn't find one... her mom took us under a bridge... lol... thank God it was still dark. So after I felt completely relieved, I returned where Katia was... still asleep. By that time the sky was getting clearer, still the sun hadn't come out completely. It didn't take long until she woke up. Fans kept arriving, and we were ordered to move to the other side of the parking lot, and there we went. Oh btw... Katia fell asleep again... I don't blame her, she told me that she hadn't slept since Friday at 10 pm, after the signing. Now I was extremely hungry (I mean the yoghurt and part of a doughnut didn't do much 4 my stomach), it was about 8:00 and finally I could feel the first beams from the sun heating me... that's when my savior came... a man was selling kindda baguettes (in spanish they're called bolillos, but I dunno how to describe them) with tamales innit (mexican food)... so here I was with my enormous tart, eating it happily *wink, wink*... after it, I didn't eat anything else until 2:30 pm. So while Katia was still asleep, I became friends of a group of 3 chiks and a dude... haha... as we were still sleepy we were saying lots of nonsense stuff... that was a real fun. Finally, until 9:30 Katia woke up. Oh another thing, they all thought we were like best friends, the guy told us he thought we were sisters... awww that was cute. Katia and I began to do our makeup. Half an hour later, some of the security guys told us that between 12:00pm and 1:00pm, we were going to be moved to another parking lot (the B access)... that's when we all (my new friends and I) thought that the band was gonna arrive by this access. At about 11:00 am we were looking for a restroom... again... a fan told us that there was one at 15 mins from the parking lot, in a park. So there we were, Katia, two more girls and I, walking to the park to do our necessities... after a long walk... "oh holy restroom, we al hail to you!"... lol... then we went back, and we could see that most of the fans were going to the same restroom as we. When we returned to the parking lot, I found the friend with whom I was supposedly going to go to the concert, Alejandro, and told him to go with me where I had my place in the queue so I could give him his ticket. (Note: It's just that when I told my mom to buy mine in pre-sale, I told her to buy just one, but she is so stubborn she bought two so that someone could go with me). He asked me if I could help him and his friends to jump in the queue, I told him that if I could then I would gladly help him, but it was a bit difficult 'cause they were eight. I mean, he could easily get at the very front in the floor... he's 6'2, a tall dude for being mexican, as men normally do not pass over the 5'8 ft. So after it, I dunno how, but my mom got his cellphone number and asked him to let her talk to me. Hum, she was a bit cross 'cause I didn't tell them I had left and 'cause I hadn't answered my cellphone. I told her that it was because I wanted to film the whole concert, and for that I needed it to have the battery complete, so that's why I had it off, I told her that I even left a note on the fridge explaining the whole issue; she told me that neither her nor my dad saw it. Then she told me that in the afternoon they were going to pass by to give to Alejandro and me some food. It was finally at 1:00pm, when we were taken to the B access. The first 100 fans were taken apart, right in front of the five entries. Well, they weren't 100, they were barely 90. After them, we were lined up in the queue, I was the number 9th. We could see the long queue, there were at least 1000 fans by that time. Thank God we were under the trees, 'cause my friends and I could tell that the afternoon was going to be really hot. So I was really tired, and I didn't wanna be sleepy during the concert, I decided to take a nap, put Katia's folded blanket under my head, and laid down over the grass. Oh sweet sleep. 'Bout an hour and 10 mins later, one of my friends woke me up 'cause her mom was gonna take the blanket and all our stuff. Waaaa!!!! I wanted to continue sleeping!!!! Now I was thirsty... and I saw a dude selling ice creams... that was my meal. I would have had one of the hamburgers my mom gave to Alejandro, but after what I'm gonna tell you next... the guards didn't let him handle to me my meal :'( I thought of going to the restroom for the last time, even though I hadn't the urgence, I decided to prevent, 'cause between 4:00- 4:30 pm the security guys were going to let us go inside the venue. So while my friends and I were making our way to the far away park, suddenly I heard a lot of shoutings, so my friends and I ran back and I climed on top of a small wall, holding on from some bars. Other dudes acheived to climb, the rest of the fans stayed down on the floor. I got to see Worm and a bunch of photographers and camera men, while I was screaming as a total insane I turned my face to look down and hell!!!!!!!!!!!... the whole queue had disappeared, all the fans were trying to see what was going on. The security dudes went really tough and shouted to us to line up in the queue again. When I went back to my place I passed from being number 9 to number 20!!!! So I got really angry and began to shout with my friends and some other dudes to the security guys to take out the dudes that had jumped in. And because they wouldn't listen, I took matter in my hands and went to the first boy in the queue and told him to show me his number: 163 -yes he was the first-, 164, 165... I asked them to hold hands eachother... and that's how we left out the other fans. It was 3:30-3:30 (yes I never went to the restroom), and we were there standing under the sun... I got burned on my shoulders and back. We could hear part of the check-sound... I got even more excited. It wasn't until 5:00 that we were allowed to enter the venue. 10 mins before I gave the final touches to my make-up, and wore the boas around my neck. We saw the first 90 fans to run inside the venue.... we were the next ones... 20 of us were asked to line up in 4 rows, then they let us pass. We ran until we were held again to be cheked up... I thought I was losing precious time when one of the guards told me to open my purse... then I ran as if the devil was chasing me. Stupid guards... they stood up in front of the fans with legs and arms opened so we would slow down while shouting: "Don't run!"... ha! as if. Finally I got inside the venue... I could see that the first fans that had entered were sitting down... they were all shoutind to us to sit down so we could have more space. Yei!!!!!!!!!! I was in the second row. So there we were... a big happy family sitting on the floor. I bought an ice pop... I mean... I was a bit hungry, still I didn't notice it 'cause of the excitement. It was 5:45pm... there were just 45 mins left before the concert started. Now let me try to explain to you the floor thing. It was kindda divided in two semi-circles, I was in the left one, the nearest one to the stage. We were happily talking when we saw that the fans from the right one stood up and got squashed by the fans that arrived. One of the security guys told us that it was because they opened the barricade, and that in a few minutes they were going to open ours. That we should remain in our places and never stand up, 'cause if not we were going to be squashed as the other ones. At 6:15 pm they opened ours... FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fans that were entering were literally passing over the ones that were sitting. I just saw a huge herd (yes, it was that animalistic), getting closer and closer, so we the ones at the front stood up as quick as we could and got smashed-up against the steel barrier... OUCH! I was right at the back of a girl, almost on top of her... well I was happy to have some air to breath. I mean, couldn't security just wait half an hour more? I wouldn't have complained THAT much if they would have allowed the fans to enter 15 mins before the concert started... but 45?!?!?!?!?!?! I just remember shouting along with other chiks: "I'm getting breast cancer 'cause of you stupid bitches (to the security dudes)" and "Hey don't push!!! you'll drop my kid out!!!"... Other more optimistic girls were saying: "I think we'll have to enjoy this... multi-orgasm girls!!!!" and stuff... XD XD XD XD XD XD I remember that 6 girls and a guy had to be taken out cause they were running out of air. Still I didn't feel the drop of people... before and during the concert I felt always the same, even though during it like 16 kids were taken out (not joking... stopped counting at the 23rd) I felt completely smashed-up! So finally!!!! after a extremely long day... at 7:22 pm THE CONCERT STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gerard came out as the patient!!!!! wow!!!! I was just 6ft from him... I turned my cell-phone on and started filming!!!! It was awesome... Mikey was also right in front of me... at first I thought he wasn't there 'cause while we were waiting (before the clash), I saw Matt Cortez... but no... there was MIKEY!!!!!! in all his glory!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! They played The Black Parade from top to bottom, I managed to throw him the black boa... he didn't wear it :(... he just lifted it up, showed it to the audience and went to the back to hide it, where his water or whatever he was drinking was. I could't make the purple one to reach him, it's just that there was a little space between the crowd and the stage... and the security guys were acting like total bitches. Still my boa had better luck than a chain with a charm that was thrown to him during the 2nd set, he didn't even look at it, he just threw it at the back. During Ghost I decided to turn my head to look at the back and Holy moly shit!!!!!!!!!!! the venue was completely full there was no empty seat... all the way to the top you could see lights and flashes. It was breathtaking. (Note: this is the song I couln't tape 'cause as it wasn't my cellphone it had a note saying that the capacity was full and that if I wanted to save the rest in memory stick... I went blank for 1 min... then I got it... yes I'm kindda slow ¬.¬). Gerard said some things in Spanish... I'll let you guys look at the video when I upload them (I'm having trouble right now)... I felt the heat of the fire behind them and... though it sounds gross for some of you... in one moment, when Gerard leaned towards, his sweat spatter over my forehead and cheeks... and to the girl next to me (oh... she got spat by Frank on her hand... ewwww) Helena was the last song *sniff sniff*. And it all ended. Ha! I hate you guys to leave you like this but I promise you'll get to see the whole concert. After it we were held by the security guys, so we could't follow them... I.... as a clever girl... sneaked under the seats and got to the backstage section... I was about to get discovered... I was extremely nervous... when I got there a guy saw me... shit ! he's mexican, a technitian from the venue... he asked me what was I doing there... I just told him the truth... I was looking for the band. He just told me that the band had left immediately 'cause they had a flight to I don't-know-where... still I think he wanted to score with me... 'cause he said that if he had known me earlier on he would have taken a copy of his backstage card and lend it to me so I could see the concert in backtage, and he would take me to them to take photos but the fact was that they had already left :'(... ok so he even invited me backstage to Avril Lavigne's concert (I said no 'cause I don't like her)... and asked me my number and for a date... I just told him to call me other day... So all of these occurred in less than 10 mins. When I went out of the venue I heard that people started to scream... so again I ran as fast as I could and saw a LIMO!!!!!! I ran after it, pushed everyone at my sides and finally got in front of it... I swear that if would't have moved my foot backwards, the limo would have ran over it... So the limo got stuck in-between the crowd for 5 mins until I dunno how, it free itself without hurting anyone... it was then when we saw two hands coming out from the sunroof and waving back at us... at first I thought is was just a distractor until Frank put out his head and took a photo... oh man!!!!!! that was awesome... btw... the limo did came out from access A... where we were at first.... So this was my extremely long journal... and I promise to upload the videos... it's just that I'm having trouble with it... Comment please!!!!! It took me 3 hours to write it down and THANKS for reading it... hope I did explain myself... my English is not THAT good.... Cheers everyone!!!

August 14, 2007A fan in loveSo I wanted to post this since long ago, it’s a lyric from a song in Spanish called “Una fan enamorada” or “A fan in love”. This song was written by two brothers from Venezuela who used to be famous and back then they had this fan that totally adore them, she created their first fan club and their first official website (around 1996 I think). So in gratitude they wrote her this song, and then it became a hit: There you are In-between the crowd In-between that sea of faces That wins my heart There you are There you are How can I tell you that I saw you? That you were in yesterday’s show And if you liked me I also liked you Bridge 1 That I’ve already read your letter And though I didn’t answer It got stuck inside my mind And I even gave it music Chorus A fan in love Is a tear kissing a smile She’s the one that covers her wall with your photos She’s the one that lives like you, from poetry A fan in love Is waiting for your attention and your glance And she confesses her passion to the pillow She’s the one that loves you, Though you know nothing at all There you are And though you imagine I don’t know You are captured in every word What are you gonna do from here? Bridge 1That I’ve already read your letter And though I didn’t answer It got stuck inside my mind And I even gave it music Chorus A fan in love Is a tear kissing a smile She’s the one that covers her wall with your photos She’s the one that lives like you, from poetry A fan in love Is waiting for your attention and your glance And she confesses her passion to the pillow She’s the one that loves you, Though you know nothing at all Bridge 2 I can’t imagine my life without you Your letters help me live. Chorus A fan in love Is waiting for your attention and your glance And she confesses her passion to the pillow She’s the one that loves you, Though you know nothing at all.
