Lacuna Coil says - and I quote - “Lacuna Coil von Italy! We gonna have fucking good time!” I am amused. XD
What was not amusing, however, was the crowd’s behavior. They were throwing trash at the people in front of the stage (one bottle actually hit the stage scaffolding when Lacuna Coil was up there, which was not cool), there were mosh pits, people were crowd-surfing like mad (which was kinda cool when they weren’t coming from behind), and there was general mayhem. The band repeatedly asked the fans to not hurt anyone and to look out for each other. Oh, and they threatened to take them off the stage if the bottle-throwing kept up.
Altogether, though, it was very amusing. No room to breathe, hands kept above your head to catch the next crowd-surfer, good music, and sun-activated bleach in my hair. Oh yeah. Good times. What was better was the fireworks! I’m told flaming debris hit by my feet, but I was busy shielding Kira’s face so I didn’t notice. People about five feet away from me were smacked several times with red-hot ash, though - repeatedly. It was great. XD Afterwards, we ran around collecting firework shells. And spat them out, as we had been oohing and aahing a little too much while the ash was raining down. XD
So then after that, we almost lost Kayla, who had lost the people she came with, and we had had a hell of a time finding a place to watch the fireworks (and then finding the other car full of people), and THEN Riveth lost her wallet, and we had to backtrack all the way back to Wendy’s, which was closed, but the nice people there had it and brought it out for us once we banged on the windows enough. XD And then we went to Dunkin Donuts, and then I realized that I had never told the parents where I was going or how late I’d be out. Eep. I called home, got told to get my butt back ASAP, and nearly threw up several times on the way home. All in a day’s work. Yep. Loooong day. And this’ll be a long week.
Let’s see… I need to pay for Prom tomorrow, which means I need my date’s money as well; Prom is on Friday, as is my Civ final and Prisoner of Azkaban. Saturday Shan-san visits and also the block party, next Tuesday is my final concert, that Friday and the following Monday are senior testing, Tuesday is Class Day and the senior banquet, Wednesday is graduation, and at some point there’s the music department senior banquet. Whew.
