MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE 9th October 2007

All the problems
Make me wanna go
Like a bad girl
Straight to video

Little darling
Welcome to the show
You're a failure
Played in stereo

So last night i saw Mindless Self Indulgence at Newcastle University Basement. OMFG. soooooooooooooo amazing!!! with the exception of MCR, it was the best gig of my life!!!!!!!

so i got the metro at 5:15ish and it was full of commuters and there i was: skinny black jeans, vans, stripy vest and hoodie....plus eccentric eye make up, glow sticks and a red stripe in my hair...lookin unique?? fuck yea!!!

so when i got to the uni it was raining and i went to the queue and met these 2 girls and we attempted to stay dry under this canopy thing which totally didnt work so they gave us bin liners to put over our heads...yea bin liners!!! lol so there was only abt 8 peole ahead of us in the line and we felt ever so priveledged to get bin liners!!! lol

then it took forever for it to reach 7:30 and at abt quarter past 7 i was sooooooooooooo hyper!!!!! i had to check i still had my "HIP LIKE BADASS" written across my chest...unsmudged!!! indeedy it wasnt!!!

so they let us in at just after 7:30 and we ran to the barrier and then i went to the merch stand and got these two amazing MSI tees!! then Rachel pulled my back to the barrier while she went to see the merch!! the support band were called Scanners and they were really good except as part of their stage set up they had these two t.v. sets with fuzzy screens which were fuckin our eyes up!! lol!! then i got a bit bored so started to write on my arm...Gee style...and i still have a HUGE "Lyn-Z" on my forearm and "Stupid MF" on my wrist...the rest has come off!! lol

Goodbye 1989
I wanna be the one in control
Rock my white shoes, polo tie
The next big thing for five years running

Then at about 8:45ish, Mindless Self Indulgence took to the stage!!!! Kitty appeared first and they removed this cover from her drum kit which had pics of little kittens on it. sooo cute. kitties for kitty!!! then Steve Righ' came out onto my left. Next Lyn-Z emerged, hair in bunches, bass on hip, and OMFG she totally rox!! then Lil Jimmy Urine came out, with his famous "AS SEEN ON TV" jacket, walkin like an old man with a cane which he then twisted round and threw to the floor!!

MSI live are sooooooo incredible!!! Shut Me Up was the second song and OMFG!!!!!!! i had been warned that the place would go mad for it but here everyone went freakin insane!!!!!!!!!! Lyn-Z did her amazing back bend where she was still playing her bass but bent back so her head was almost touching the floor!! AMAZIN!! then she put her back to the floor and slid across the stage whilst Steve took her vacant position on the other side!!! then she got up still playin bass and wow she is soooo incredible!!!! and during Stupif MF she wore this awesome pirates hat!!! this was before she staged dived and hung from the lights!!! omg this woman is soooo amazin!!! she totally rocks!!

I got soooo many pics...which i need to post!! plus Steve threw this plectrum into the crowd but it fell down beside the barrier and this really nice security girl who had put our shit under the barrier picked it up and gave it to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! yyaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!! then i saw this piece of tape that Jimmy had had on his eyes and Rachel told me to lean and get it cos i was the closest, so i did and i shoved it into my pocket!!!!

Should I talk slower like you're a retard
Should I talk slower like you're retarded

Then Jimmy had us all boo cos we should "after all those shitty Panic! At The Disco records you guys bought"...lol...his words not mine...perhaps Brendon and the boys shouldnt really have ran offstage when Brendon got hit with a plastic bottle at last year's Reading and Leeds festival....not much cred with the crowd it seemed...anyways...

Shut Me Up live is amazing as is 1989 and Stupid MF but for me "Straight To Video" was incredible!!!! Jimmy saying that "this is the one you've all been waiting for"...sooooo true!!!!! he then proceeded to inform us of a description of an encore where the band leave the stage and go to their tour bus for cocaine and whores...only to return once the coke had run out and the whores all had S.T.Ds cos apparently there was a band playin inside!! sooooo funny!!!then they wud continue with the encore lol!! THATS AN ENCORE!!!

Plus i reached out and grabbed Jimmy's hand...soooo amazin but damn those guys were sweaty onstage and i played Steve's guitar when he leaned into the crowd!! ha ha i just went for the strings lol!!

it was soooooooooo amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! apart from MCR, best gig of my life!!! then the really omg omg omg stuff happened!!!

The bass, the rock
The mic, the treble
I like my coffee black
Just like my metal

After the show, Jimmy came and and Steve so i went to Steve and got his autograph and a piccy and he asked where was best to live around he and i was like "Sunderland" and he said he had family in Watford and we ended up talking about Elton John!!! lol

Then i went to Kitty who had just come out and got her autograph and a piccy and i gave her my glow in the dark neclases..not the shitty glow sticks...my treasured chains!!! and she took them!!!:D shes sooo amazing!!

then i went to Jimmy and got his autograph and he called me Lois Lane cos my note pad was HUGE...lol...my Nightmare Before Christmas one!!! lol!! then i got a piccy with him too!!! then i went to the merch stand and got the support bands CD and they signed it for me and i ended up chattin to the frontwoman about their next tour and she said they would hopefully be coming back to the North East at the end of the year!!!!

Then i went back to Kitty and asked her if MSI were officially supporting MCR in November and she said YES!!!!! yyyyyyaaaaaayyyy!!! sooooooo hyper!!!! and then we spent abt 4 mins talkin about drumming and i said how inspiring it is for a woman to be the drummer in a rock band and she told me to "stick at it"!!!!! she's sooooo lovely!! we talked about Projekt Revolution and i said i really wanted to go when i was in NYC and then she hugged me twice!!!! twice!!! :D and thanked me for coming out to see them!!!

then i looked up to the stage and OMFG!!! I SAW LYN-Z!!!!!!!!! she was walkin across and down the side of the stage and i was the first person to go up to her when she came through the barrier and i asked her if i could give her something and she said "of course" and i gave her my chain with a plectrum on it and she said "thank you so much! this is so sweet! thank you for coming out" and i got her autograph and 2 pics with her and then i got one with Lyn-Z, Me and Jimmy Urine and he was asking her how the pirates hat was!! soooo funny!!!!

She is the nicest person and she was so kind!! and we had almost matching hoodies as they are both black but mine had purple stars and hers has purple guitars but i swear it was the same colour purple!!! and i gave her my fansite address and she told me how she was in internet exile "cos apparently people hate me and want to kill me" and i was like omg and we were all like "tell them look where i am now!" and she was so awesome!!!!!!!!!!! apart from Mikey, she is the best bass player i know!! soooooooooooo amazing!!!!!

then i left still sooooo hyper and i was literally bouncin down the road to the station humming Stupid MF!!! apart from MCR, the best gig of my life!!!cant wait for November to see them again!!!! Meeting Lyn-Z and talking to her and giving her my chain made my day, week, month, freakin year!!! she is so amazing and it meant the world to me!!!!!!!! :D
