EMMALEX JOINT TEXAS UPDATE!
HELLO GUYS. This is Emmalex from Texas, and we felt the need to give a joint update on the trip so far, though we gave Megan a rundown of the show last night.
Okay, day one. I flew in, and I (Alexi) didn't tell Emma my paranoid thought that she was going to hand her skateboard/sign off to some old man just to freak the shit out of me. And, as it turns out, we both had the fear that we would have nothing to talk about. Which is the stupidest fear ever. Since it's been about 72 hours (give or take) and we haven't shut the fuck up yet. Emma lost her voice on the way to Austin, even, and we had to get lozenges. Oh, but we also met Carrah! DEAR CARRAH YOU ARE ADORABLE KTHXBAI. And I got pink and (bitchin') blue hair dye. So, then we meet her parents, and her turtle attacks me, and we giggled about Lipton tea and apples, as I ate an apple, then went to Arby's and then Wal-Mart (in my slippers) to get hair bleach and pudding. Seriously. We kind of giggled the whole fucking time. OH AND THEN, we dyed my hair. THAT WAS AN ADVENTURE. It looks so fucked up and I love it because we are the most noticeable people at the show.
K, so, next day, we went to the mall the twins partied in. In that Gap that isn't even there. And we talked to Shay forever and went to Half Price Books. Didn't even THINK about going to where Kennedy was assassinated, even though I'm a Kennedy fangirl, and apparently Aiden was there, or at least wiL, but oh well. We went to the show later that night and before the show even started, I tried to get a picture with Jake, but SOMEONE doesn't know how to work her phone camera. But it's okay because it's a dark picture and it still works, and then RIGHT afterwards these girls ran straight into me and I got injury number one. Before the show started. THEN THE SHOW STARTED AND OMG WE FOUND ANI AND PIRATE'S FUCKING DAUGHTER. Like, Farewell to Freeway and Ivoryline? they're okay. But Schoolyard Heroes? zomg. Great show, and the lead singer is just... she's a Lipton kid in some way. Or apparently a Lipton grandchild. She's fucking amazing. So we used our mosh pit strategy to get close, and there were some serious technical difficulties with Aiden's setup, and this really creepy old guy kept jeering the roadies saying they fucking sucked, and I kept defending the roadies because, um, that's my new plan, to make bffs with their roadies, or at least the one that seems to be doing most of the work. So they got on like half an hour later than they should have, and... it was fucking amazing. Like me and Emma just sat there and went "OH. MY. GOD" after the show. Because. um, yeah. Like we were close anyways, and they played Gissy's song, and Burton's just fucking ADORABLE. I mean the man is just a doll. And Spy had his fly down, and his pants were just too tight to really pull them up anyways. Oh, oh, and Nick, like. omg wtf, he was STANDING on Emma's hand and creepy guy's shoulder, and then a few of us grabbed onto his feet too, as he was playing the bass. Like, who fucking DOES that? And what was his plan for the end there? Did he expect to get back to the stage? Because then he fell into the audience (and Emma got kicked in the eye) and I...didn't see how he made it back to the stage. But he did. And there was a shitload of stage divers, so we think that Damien the Parasiiti Roadie just does what this one guy did and direct that stage divers off the stage. Okay, okay, and then there's the wall of death, which of course i joined in on, and when I was done with all that, some guy like helped me back in the crowd and protected me from the other moshers. Okay, okay, so the best part is that then there was the encore, and they sing World By Storm, since that's their tour name, and started pulling people up on stage. We were DEAD TIRED, but we were up on stage with them, and it was like...so fucking amazing. Then when it was done, we both gave wiL a hug (HE'S SO TINY AND SWEATY AND CUTE OMG) and told him we were following him around Texas. I don't think he really heard, because he was just like, oh yeah, that's cool, uh-huh. Then I got off stage, and I saw Nick there, and was like, "oh man, i have shit in my purse i can have him sign!" Then I realized, I'd lost my purse. But he said something about how one of the roadies had found a purse up on stage. Good thing I'd been nice to the roadies. So we gave him hugs too and told him we would be following him, and he did the whole, "oh cool, whatever" thing too. But, um, I hugged a Doyle. He's so...squishy and fluffy and Doyle-ish. Then I went to the bar and the guy had my purse, so thank God. And we got lost on the way back to the hotel like five times and almost ended up in the ghetto, so thank god Emma has google maps on her phone.
OKAY DAY THREE. We got up and got free lunch because we keep on bumming food off everybody (and got free shit for our iPods and a wireless thing for Batman), and headed to Austin, where we met up with the boy. Who says that it's crazy how there's now two versions of Emma. Oh, and Emma lost her voice, but I already mentioned that, but it came back, and we pulled into a hotel just filled with a shitload of frat boys (like horribly stereotypical frat boys, shirts off as they chill in the parking lot ANYWAYS). And yes, everyone already told us all about the 24 hours of Jackass on MTV. We're watching it right now, and there are drag queens fucking a chicken. Apparently there was a basketball game or something today? * UT is in the top ten right now for basketball and they had a game* Anyways, we went to the show, and the stage is SO FUCKING TINY. It's the Blood Orchid though! Um, so in the show, I ended up RIGHT in the front, right against the stage, and I didn't even mean to, I just got shoved up there and was talking to the 14-year-old girl next to me. Like I was basically giving Nick a virtual blow job as I got dry humped in the ass. It was pretty great. Well, the fun things include stealing wiL's cigarette after he put it out *which then ended up in my pocket for an unknown reason and burned my leg for a bit*, I think it was Nick's guitar pick after it fell on the stage, losing my ID, constantly putting my hand in wiL's snot, and him grabbing my face and biting my forehead. I'm pretty sure Emma and I were the brightest people there, since she was in a yellow shirt with pink hair and I'm in a red shirt with a blondish fucked up dye job. Pretty sure they're beginning to get a good idea of who we are now. The stage is seriously TINY though, it's a CORNER, and they couldn't really even do a proper encore because they couldn't get OFF stage. Oh, but I do love how he was just kind of killing time for a second, I think because there were more technical difficulties (though nowhere near the amount they had at Dallas, wiL's mic even cut out for half a song there), and he was like, "Well. This is Angel. He's Mexican. Does anyone here have any friends from south of the border? Any Spanish speakers in the audience? Yeah. Pretty awesome man." And then we got on stage and my pants ripped horribly, but I said fuck it and just went with it.
And now I'm going to leave this open for when Emma gets out of the shower so I can either eat or take a shower too, and she can add commentary or her own thing or whatever because I claimed this was a joint update and it's all me right now. SO WHEE.

So I took a shower and like counted my bruises, there are like seven on my legs, a scratch on my neck, a few bruises on my arms and another one on my head. Which is pretty cool because I was all worried that I'd somehow end up without a scratch at all and that'd sucked. Alexi kind of like already said everything but, yeah, I suck at directions like woah. Oh and at some point we are getting tattoos..but we aren't sure what of yet, that'll be figured out in the near future. But dude, seriously Aiden is freaking amazing. They are all tiny and adorable and just...just wow. We are so going to be on stage each time because that's just fun.
...I dunno what else to say but dude, it's just freaking amazing. And it's bad that Alexi and I live so close...ish. Dude can you imagine if she lived in the same state as me?
