[savannahjanisxo]

boy, oh boy have I neglected posting this concert experience story (3 ½ months overdue yike) for the people who probably could care less about it, but it is finally here, & it is v v v extensive as it includes basically every detail I can recall accurately.

Here ya go, curious cats:

I went to the show in Santa Ana, CA on March 5th. I got to the venue maybe 20 or 30 minutes after doors opened, so the openers were already in the middle of their set. I dragged my older guy cousin w/ me (since my sister was doing a photoshoot in San Diego that night + the next day), & during the opener’s set, he pushed me to the front of the crowd since he knew how long I had been waiting to see hippo. Then they came out & did their thing, & holy shit. Okay, it was so worth waiting almost 2 years. Their set was so fucking surreal; I may or may not have almost cried.. Also in the middle of their set, some guy pushed to the front to let Jake take a hit off a joint, & it was p iconic lol.

After the show, the crowd waited like 5-10 minutes to disperse due to the hope of a possible encore. I then got merch & waited inside the venue for maybe 15 minutes since the last time I was at the Observatory, the band I saw met fans inside the venue, but after seeing most of the fans walking outside, I followed.. Also b/c they kicked everyone out lol.

There were maybe 60-70 (possibly even more) fans outside waiting in the parking lot for the guys, but hippo had chosen to wait everyone out until there were 30 fans max which was 1 - 1 ½ hours later. During that time, I made a few new friends since my cousin decided to just wait inside of his car for me to do my thing.

(Whistler left right after the show to spend time w/ his family, sooo y'know.. I didn’t get to meet him.)

The first boy to come out was Nathan, but he stopped to smoke a cigarette w/ security lol. We were on our way to meet him half way, but we stopped when we saw he was busy (DON’T BOTHER THEM IF THEY SEEM BUSY OKAY). We then just waited for another one of them to come out or until he was finished.

Jake:

Jake came out next, so we went over to him to take pictures & whatnot. I’ve been promising him a lame dad shirt for the past two years, & I still have yet to provide. I apologized for that as we were about to take our picture, & he simply replied, “aww, next time!” whilst rubbing my arm. Not to be dramatic, but Jake is pure sunshine. I wish I had more time to chat w/ him, but so many others were trying to speak to him as well, so after the pictures, the girls & I were off to the next boy.

Nathan:

We went to Zach since Nathan was still smoking, but everything w/ Zach will be addressed last since that was most of it.. SO after seeing Zach the first time around in the night, we went to Nathan, & my conversation w/ him is kind of a blur, but basically the gist & a few specifics: he called himself a whore (I briefly explain here for those wanting further explanation), he told me to get out of California, & I called him a hippie which he asked me to explain myself, but he was literally rolling a joint as he was giving his “stop being on your phones, go outside, & interact w/ your friends” spiel. (One of the girls took a snap video of him, & in it he says “like at the same I want the ability to be able to be here now, so.. that’s what cigarettes are all about.” C’mon hippie sticker boy, admit it.) I also brought up his twitter & how this one time late at night, & he was the only one of the boys awake, so he was bored & asked to be sent poetry. I sent a realist suggestive poem about me “doing homework when it should be you” (my recent works are definitely more tasteful & not that trashy.. but sticker boy told me the other night (in direct reference to my previous statement) that “trash is & will always be better than we think.” sooo maybe he enjoyed it? I don’t know about that cryptic boy), & he told me he didn’t remember. Then he asked me what year this happened, & I told him it happened in 2015 to which he said, “I was a different man then” lol okay, child. Little something about sticker: he comes off as a very serious person when you speak to him, but he isn’t at all. Although, he is very formal. When I first went up to him, he went in for a handshake, but I had been waiting too long for this to be a handshake; I needed it to be a hug. We then introduced ourselves.. Ooooh. I also talked to Nathan about his sister, Madeline, b/c she’s been following me on Instagram for a couple years (I didn’t even follow her first lol), & oml the look on his face when I told him that. He rolled his eyes & said, “ohhh, Madeline.” It was hilarious (love you, Maddie). Overall, we just had a 5-10(??) minute conversation about life (in the midst of the conversation, someone was pulling out of the parking lot blasting one of their songs (can’t remember which one.. violet maybe?), & Nathan yelled, “turn that shit off.” It was iconic).. Then I went back over to Zach.

Zach:

Background info:

About a week before the show, I was tweeting this boy so much? Within a week probably 30 of my tweets were liked by him; it was so excessive, & soz to anyone who was following me during that time b/c yikes. Anyway, basically the main part of it was that we were finally going to fight, & the whole Zach only liking tweets & fighting has been a running joke since 2015 okay, so this isn’t new. He also agreed to “match” outfits w/ me, hence the denim shirt over his sweatshirt.

(You can peep the embarrassing twitter thread here. Some tweets contain their own threads too js lol.)

At the actual show:

When Z finally came out, the girls I was w/ & I booked it over there, & he was chatting w/ some people, & he talks for a long time which is really nice, but also time consuming y’know. (Also oml okay as we were waiting for them to finish their conversation, this bih smiled, & I kid you not, my weak ass squealed a bit. Like those dimples? Are you fucking kidding me?) Anyway, when our turn finally came to, I went first since we had a whole plan going. It was a thing where I was going to greet him by saying something vaguely rude, so he’d be aware of the whole fighting thing b/c if I greeted him like I actually would have w/ the whole “hey, how are you,” bringing up the fight would’ve been a tad awkward, thus “Zach, you ass” was born.

(You can watch that on my twitter here. It’s also part of the thread, but eh y’know.)

Subsequently after the denim shirt talk (the video cuts right before this, but he actually apologized for not bringing his other denim shirt, & I told him that I was just happy he even brought/wore one b/c I asked, & he said, “yeah, well thanks.” what an awkward angel), I called him out about some twitter things such as why he doesn’t reply, & he said, “I just like b/c it’s like a binary sort of thing.” Then I told him that I actually would have brought him candy in which this bitch smugly replied, “maybe I don’t like candy.” Uhm this boy liked the tweet, & if it is actually a binary thing, he is indicating that he does like candy smh. Anyway, I asked, “what about donuts or something?” This bih then decided to sass me aGAIN by saying, “Whistler likes donuts,” & I was so done. BOY, NO SHIT. EVERYONE & THEIR MOTHER KNOWS WHISTLER LOVES DONUTS HOLY FUCK. I WAS USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE FOR A SUGGESTION. Ugh then he said that I should bring him fruit, so I asked which is his favorite, & I thought to myself, “he better not say mango,” & HE DID. I was disgusted, everyone else was disgusted b/c of my reaction, & it was a mess. Then we continued to talk about fruit for a few more minutes (it was a long fruit convo) such as the correct way to eat grapefruit (peel the skin & put sugar on it), pomegranate being bomb, & yet another opposing opinion which was on putting tajín on fruit (Z hasn’t had it, so he believes that “salty things don’t belong on fruit.. that’s for pretzels” ..tajín is chili powder that tastes like candy, & it is amazing, especially on watermelon). Then I said bye to him after we took our pictures, helped the girls I was w/ take their pictures, & we went over to Nathan (which I already went over).

Second time around talking to my mango bitch: So after talking to Nathan, I went back over to Zach alone since the girls I was w/ decided to leave (it was maybe 12:15 AM at this point, & it was Sunday night, soooo y’know). My phone had also died when I was waiting to talk to Zach the first time, but then it came back on by itself when I was waiting to talk to him the second time. It was living on the edge, so I ran back to my cousin’s car to get my portable charger (we had parked right by the bus in the very front of the venue, so it was very convenient), but tHAT WAS ALSO ON THE EDGE. I went back in line, & I was the last person to talk to Zach, so it was a long time spent. We said hi again, & we took so. many. pictures. These were all snap filter ones, & we did that for a few minutes. Okay, so my bitch ass oml I made him retake a few, & at one point, I actually said, “ew, I don’t like this; we have to retake it,” & hE LAUGHED AT ME, & THEN HE MIMICKED ME. I can’t believe. Ugh okay, but a part of this was that we were going to do the infamous face swap filter, but it was unavailable, & we realized it was on the picture face swap instead right as it was finishing loading, & we both said, “wait, this is the picture one” & almost switched w/ the picture I had just taken w/ Jake. Then I asked him how tall he was, & he said, “I don’t know, 6′1?” I told him that I think he’s def 6′2. I also asked him if he was sick since I noticed he had been coughing a bit throughout the night, & he said he was, & I just kNEW he would probably get me sick too, & wow what a surprise, he did. Afterwards, I had him record a video for my best friend who couldn’t come (she started liking hippo when I did, but she is not as present in the “fandom” anymore), & I asked him if I should use the flash or not b/c I did not want to blind him w/o warning, he said whatever I want is fine, so I chose to do it w/o the flash, but ahh okay, I kept having to wave him around to try to be in better lighting, & I felt so bad. Then finally we said our goodbyes after he noticed that I was actually shivering, & he said, “well, it’s cold. I gotta go get warm; you gotta go get warm. It was so nice to see you,” & we hugged, but then we ended up walking in the same direction. As we finally broke away & I was almost to the car, he calls over & says, “I’m still only going to like your tweets,” & I deadass call back over & say, “you are annoying as fuck.” 

Post related events:

So when I got home from the show, I took to twitter to express my love & annoyance for such mango boy to acknowledge which included me tweeting him less than an hour after I left saying that he’s cute, & t’was a good fight. Also the next day (the day they had their second Conan performance), I tagged him in the comments of the first post I made of one of our pictures calling him out for not liking it & that we actually have to fight again if he doesn’t like it, & this child decided to like my cOMMENT INSTEAD. Then I commented again explaining that I was meaning the picture & not the comment, & he liked that one too. About a week later, I had told my mom & her boyfriend about the whole Zach thing, & I tweeted something my mom’s boyfriend said about me fucking up by not kissing Z (which would’ve been highly inappropriate wtf why would I??), & he liked that tweet too lmao. I was mortified. He’s liked some more stuff within that same period to now, but I cannot recall if they’d actually add anything to this?

Okay also disclaimer: I do not hate Zach, & he know this. It’s just how we are (which are two v extra people).. but he is def the bitch in our relationship thanks.

babbling in those tags about high school memories reminded me the other night i remembered this one time freshmen yr in creative writing...

we were like in groups or something writing something, i don’t remember lmao

anyway...when one of the girls who was a senior in the class asked the teacher how to spell ‘schizophrenic’ and i don’t totally remember what her response was, but basically kinda laughed and said they’d have to look in the dictionary

and...i NEVER talked in class...ever

not...any class...not if i didn’t really have to

(or unless i definitely 1000% KNEW the answer and i wouldn’t look like an idiot for saying the wrong thing but even then...nah mate lol)

anyway...so i think she decided she was gonna use a different word, or maybe went to look it up...(again don’t totally remember) but i just busted out how to spell it

‘cause while i’d never claim to be smart or know many things, one thing i do say about myself is...i’ve always been pretty good at spelling 

(now admittedly i only knew how to spell that ‘cause i had a shirt that said it. y’know those shirts from hot topic back in the day? the ones that are super cringe now? but like then it was like ‘lol schizophrenic’ that’s funny. yea sorry)

BUT STILL...i knew how to spell it...i was a freshmen...and i just told this senior girl and my teacher how to spell this word

and...fuck if i can remember their reactions...i think mrs. linder said something like ‘sounds right to me’ or something, and i think she looked it up and yea obvs it was right

but it’s one of those things looking back...that’s maybe a sorta weird thing to just know how to spell? idk

that was my favorite class though...i wish i could have taken it all four yrs but it was an elective class so i couldn’t

there was also the one time i had to make up a quiz i missed when i was sick in science

(and yea i was...such a bad student i just...straight up never did homework, so i had to repeat freshmen science three yrs in a row...yea lucky for me...me and the teacher super got along lmao)

ANYWAY....so go up to grab the quiz and head to the library to take it and i grab it and he’s just...got a death grip on it and i wasn’t expecting it and he finally lets it go laughing...and i just...hit him with the paper????? and he just keeps laughing and it’s again...one of those things i just did without thinking and so y’know...i think i was a junior when this happened...so y’know...all these freshmen are just watching me ‘hit’ the teacher and i just walk out of the room

i think i might have said something to him...i don’t remember what. but bet you can’t guess what i did when i came back and gave it back to him? yup...the same thing he did to me. and he didn’t even expect it which made it all the sweeter lol

he also always liked to call kids up to get papers back in funny ways...so if he could do something fun with your name he would...

now i don’t think he started doing this til my sophomore yr, though i might be wrong...but *sigh* every time i got... ‘WILLLLLSOOOONNN!!! WILSON I’M SORRY!!!’

y’know...Castaway? yuuuuup

which y’know...it was funny, but it was also embarrassing...which is why he did it

and then there was one time...again i think sophomore yr...i don’t remember how it got started but it was like...valentine’s day or something, and he was talking about presents and he just was like ‘how would you react if your boyfriend got you a plant?’ or something like that i don’t remember exact wording but, i remember it was definitely ‘a plant’. and i was just so bluntly like ‘i don’t have a boyfriend’. and he was taken aback for a second...i don’t know why, but it was funny...and he was like ‘hypothetically...’ and i don’t remember anything beyond that haha

then (lmao this is just gonna be random high school memories you’re welcome) there was the one time in intro. biology (junior yr, second science class, in same soom as other science class lol), we were watching mythbusters...and of course...what movie clip do they show? yup.

now...intro was a different teacher, but mr. emery (the first science teacher) would frequently come in and out of the room to do things since it was also his room and he was of course...in the room for ‘WILSON!!! WILSON I’M SORRY!’. and we made eye contact he tried not to smile and then he just walked outta the room...lol

another one that i remembered from the other night along with my spelling prowess was...again one of the few times i ever spoke up in class...

junior yr...history...we had a sub...and our teacher did this quiz game thing and whatever...so the sub had done it with us and i don’t remember why but he then just did like...bonus questions about random shit that didn’t have to do with history. and he asks this question like...who recently won some award or presented some award...i don’t know...he’d done something lol. i don’t remember the award ‘cause it wasn’t anything i’d ever heard of at that time and so we were all like ‘uhhhhhh what?’ so then he had to think of something we’d know this guy from...

and then he’s like... ‘who played the french race car driver in talladega nights?’ and i was just like ‘sacha baron cohen?’ and obvs correct and my ‘team’ cheered and were like ‘HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT??’ and like...i had literally like the night before been looking him up ‘cause that was back whenever i watched something and i saw someone new that i liked i immediately went to their imdb and just...learned all i could. oh and i think that made my team the winning team btw

so basically anytime i spoke up it was just...super weird and awkward lol

i could probably think of other things, but it’s 2 a.m. and i should go to bed...

one last quick one...

back to mr. welch and speech class (another class i had to retake ‘cause again...super loser anyway) so i ended up being in the class with my younger sister and anyway...one time she did a speech on golf i think it was....must have been

and i said to her that we should ask him if you could show one of the scenes from caddyshack (i don’t remember which one) and we asked him and he laughed and basically said yea ok ask long as it’s NOT the scene where they get high and we laughed and promised no no of course not

so...lmao...goddammit...it was the remotes fault...i’m trying to help her get the video to play ‘cause it’s my dvd and i’m trying to skip or whatever and THE SCENE JUST STARTS PLAYING AND I’M LIKE AHHHHH!

and he’s just laughing and like I TOLD YOU NOT THIS SCENE 

and i’m just like frantically trying to get it to stop do something...and it was just...a mess but goddammit it was funny

well that’s enough remembering my high school memories for now

hopefully i won’t have any weird dreams now...there were a few times after high school i had dreams that mr. welch was in and it was just O.O

nothing bad happened...it was just when i woke up it was like whyyyyyyyy

(ok there was the one i had and we were slow dancing but y’know...it’s fine)

it was so weird...lol i don’t remember much about it other than that...and that’s just ‘cause it was so fucking weird

........i was weird though i mean...we got him a birthday present???? like...lmao

idk it’s maybe not that weird...but...no it’s weird lmao

whatever it’s fine...he was turning 40...how am i NOT gonna get him something?

....i’m gonna have weird dreams tonight aren’t i

i mean....i only dreamt last night that dan and phil came to my house and just stayed for a week and we just...hung out

which y’know...is fine but...like what? lol i don’t remember much...i remember just...literally laying around...and there were other people there but i don’t remember who but...it was just...laying around...laying on top of each other (in non sexual ways just like...chilling)

and then i was singing with phil....y’know as you do

and then they had to leave and it was super sad, and we just went out in my front yard and played in the snow?? and made bird noises???

like the bit i remember most clearly is the end (of course) and i was like face to face with dan and just...doing bird noises and i was trying to make him laugh so i just busted out some chicken noises and he kinda half smiled and i shoved him and i was like c’mon that was funny y’know that was funny and then...i don’t remember how this happened but he like tackled me? and then we just...rolled around...and kept rolling til we got to phil and then we just stopped and all just...lay there

it was um...it was an experience lmao

it’s weird how clearly i can still visualize dan’s face right in front of mine #themcurlsupclose

christ this is...too much go to bed self...
