Okay, as I promised, I am going to write about the show and all of its events.  whoo! get excited because I am extremely lazy and thinking back to how long it took me to write about AP…okay, focusing! (PS - all pictures taken by my friend)

So my friend comes to pick me up at 4-ish and we drive the 30 minutes to Weymouth.  We go inside and are like “aight, I guess we don’t actually have to pay for admission…” so we sit down and The Semester Abroad is just kinda messing around and playing some songs for the people that’re there early.  More people file in and this guy walks through the crowd and is like “so…you all need to go outside and pay…then you can come back” and we were like “really?” we went outside, came back in and paid and sat down again. yay.  the show starts and Stay is the first band up and they’re really good.  go listen. now.  anyways, after them was a band that I don’t know the name of because they never said it.  all I know is that they had a song named the exact same thing as a new ATL song that’s going to be on Nothing Personal.  they were okay.  next was The Semester Abroad and of course everybody loved them, including myself.  they’re amazing!  Tyler sounds like Christofer Drew and I mentioned that to my friend and then they did a Nevershoutnever! cover and I started laughing.  so they finish and the guy before nick comes on to play but nick comes up with him and everyone starts getting really excited.

nobody listens to the last guy because nick is like rightthere and all anyone can think about is how amazing he is and how ready we all are for HIS set.  the last guy finally finishes (I swear to god his last song must have been 10 minutes long) and we’re like “niiiiick!” and then this guy comes out with a screaming baby raccoon and is like, “shhhhh!  quiet now, I wanna tell you all about the wildlife center for a minute.  this is george,” and I tune out by now cause the raccoon is screaming its head off.  the guy leaves and nick comes up. 

he’s like “so, I haven’t played solo in about a year.  I’m gonna make 300 mistakes.  you can count if you want to!”  and starts off with If Only They Knew and is super shocked when we know all the words.  he steps back from the mic and we’re all singing all the words and he smiles really big before he keeps singing.

what was I saying? oh yeah!  so he plays a shitload more songs including: If Only They Knew, Just Another One, Fear of Flying, Baby We’re Invincible, I Think About You Everyday, Dakota, I’m Not Saying Goodbye, the New and Untitled Song, I’ll be Your Sunset, and a buttload of covers: Waking Up In Vegas, Our Song, parts of SOS, The Climb, Love Story, and some others I unfortunately can’t remember.  he told us his middle name is Bernard. I don’t even know how to describe how much fun I has singing all the words.  I don’t wanna sound delusional or conceited but he definitely looked at me a few times and that kind of made my night, haha.  duing Dakota, we all started singing the ba da ba ba ba da da da da’s and actually would not start the song until we sang it fifty more times.

so he finishes and then goes upstairs to put his shit away.  while this is happening, me and my friend go visit Tyler from The Semester Abroad and talk to him about his amazing Sparks the Rescue shirt and get pictures with him.  mine is kind of embarrassing so no.  hers was really cute, haha.  we went outside and lo and behold, there was nick being swarmed by girls, yay!  time to get assertive.  we jumped in and I whipped out my sharpie and took my shoe off.  the right one where I write all my favorite ARTTM lyrics.  my left one is for The Maine. 

so we wait and at 8:47 we reached him.  I only know that because he asked what time it was, haha.  so my friend gets him to sign her epic jacket with like everybody’s signature on it and then I take a picture of them hugging. awwww. then it’s my turn and I ask him to sign my shoe and he does.

love it.  anyways, then we take a picture and he holds me really tight to him and his head is on mine and ahhh! (picture previously posted)  I was too happy for words.  we’re about to leave and I’m like “see you july 19th!” and he’s like “definitely!” and smiles.  then my mom is there so I have to go.  bye nick! I love you! I get in the car and all of a sudden I’m like what is that wonderful smell? I sniff around the car and it’s my right shoulder where nick was.  he rubbed off on me.  I couldn’t stop smelling myself, haha.

I miss him so much.
