1st things first. I know im shit at being online here but last week i went to go and see Hey Violet in Glasgow. It was my first Hey Violet show but like i’ve said over and over: Me and Hey Violet have known each other since 2012 (and i’ll get onto that more later).

But yeah we got into Glasgow about lunchtime and it took us an hour to find the hotel because we hadnt been to that part of Glasgow before as we are usually at the hotel by The Hydro as that’s where most concerts i’ve been to at Glasgow have been held. We knew where this venue was though because it was the same one that i saw The Pretty Reckless at in January. Anywhere we got into the queue at about 4PM as we had meet&greet which was supposed to be at 5:30PM but ended up being at 6:45PM (idk why still). This happened during possibly the hottest day of the year so far and there’s me wearing a fucking denim jacket and ripped jeans and a LGBT flag like a cape.

We saw Iain walking down the road not long after we got into the line and said hi to him and he seemed liked a pretty chill guy and said hi back. When it was time for us to get our VIP wristbands on though Miranda, Rena and Iain walked right past my best friend, my sister and I. I dont know why but it took me a minute to process that they had actually just walked by us so i was a bit late with the fangirling. After we waited for what seemed like ages, they came back again and gave us a little wave and said we could go in soon which got everyone excited.

When we went in Sheep (i think that’s his name) told us to line up against a wall and told us how the meet and greet was gonna work but idk if i heard wrong but im sure i heard him say that we couldnt give them any gifts which me and my sister just looked at each other and i said “wtf are we gonna do with these gifts now?” so my sister said “im just gonna try and give the bag to them and see what happens”. Keep in mind we had a giant disney bag with us so i was scared that it was gonna get taken off us or something. My sister went first out of us and handed the bag to Nia who was really excited and said something like “OMG thank you” (idk im half deaf) and then they took their pic. Then i was up next and i dont know why but i started shaking and to this day i still hate myself for it. I asked Miranda if i could get inbetween her and Nia since most people decided to be inbetween her and Rena. Miranda said “of course” and we took our pics and i said thanks really awkwardly and made my way to the merch table.

Their show was amazing. I loved the energy and the banter they had with each other and the crowd. I liked the fact that Rena as much of the stage as she could as well and even climbed on top of the speakers during Hoodie. It was great. Also Rena’s little attempt at during a scottish accent was cute af. The only problem i had with their show was that it was short AF. So im hoping they do another UK tour when their album is released.

Anyway after the show we went outside to wait on the band and see if they would come out. I think it took them about an hour and a half to come out which i didnt mind since i waited 3 hours for The Pretty Reckless to come out before.  Miranda and Jessarae who was their opening act came out first and because i saw her go to the tourbus first, i only saw her back. When she came back from the tourbus i freaked the fuck out because i saw that she was wearing the Kingdom Hearts shirt that me and my sister had given her. So when it was my turn to get a selfie and talk to miranda, i asked her if she liked the shirt which she said she did and also said she had to get Nia to help like adjust it so it would fit her which made me happy and i thanked her for the show and asked for a hug which she said sure. Then everyone else came outside except Rena. I think she was tired that night so she just stayed in the bus. I went to go and talk to Nia since most people went to talk to Iain and Casey.  Nia told me that she liked the Nine Inch Nails shirt that i got for her and we took a selfie together (i dont remember what else we talked about because it went really fast for me) and then i made my way over to Casey as my sister wanted a selfie with him since her phone died and she had finished talking and taking a pic with Miranda. I took her pic with casey and then MY phone died. We saw that there was basically no line for Nia and so i went with my sister to go back and talk to her which is when Nia said that she remembered us from years ago and being half deaf asked “wait did i just hear that you remembered us?” and Nia turned towards me and said “yeah of course i do, you’ve stuck with us through everything so thank you guys for that.” and then we had a talk about our old skype calls and laughed about them. Sheep then called for them to go back in the tourbus and Nia asked him to hang on for a second and asked if she could have a pic of me and my sister so of course we said yes and then she had to go because Sheep was getting inpatient.

But yeah seeing Hey Violet was probably one of the best experiences of my life and i would 100 percent go to another one of their shows. They just gotta announce another UK tour since London is too far away for me. (also adding my selfies if people do not believe me about what happened) ALSO IDK WHY MY FACE IS LIKE THAT IN MY PIC WITH MIRANDA, I WAS EXCITED TO MEET HER AND I LOVE HER LOTS. IM JUST NOT PHOTOGENTIC AND IM NOT ADDING THE ONE OF ME AND MY SISTER MEETING NIA BECAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW MY SISTER WOULD FEEL ABOUT ME PUTTING IT ON HERE.
