all these words add up to one very simple name, Saosin.
now, i understand that to them i'm simply just another fan, but to me they are so much more than just a band. you see when i'm feeling any kind of unwanted emotion, all i have to do to feel better is crank up the volume on my iPod and let Cove's voice, Beau's & Justin's guitars, Chris' bass, & Alex's drums sooth my feelings. never have i felt so strongly, so passionately about a band. never have i done whatever it took to be at their concert, to get a simple glance at them. i have gone to 5 of their concerts, and this past saturday it became 6.
saturday was a cloudy, cold day with a slight chance of rain. it was my first of 10 days of relaxation, and i was up at 7 am- sharp. i was out of the house by 8:30, out of ihop with my best friend by 9:30-10:00, & at a venue located in a horrible part of downtown dallas at 11:42. all of this so i could sit in the freezing cold for roughly 9 hours. all of this to see the people i love more than anything again after being away for 10 months.
i suffered in the bitter cold, i sat on hard concrete, fasted pretty much all day, stood through a crappy metal band & a crazy goo band that made the crowd around me make me want to cry in pain, all to start bawling tears of joy the minute they stepped on that stage. it was like time slowed down & all i saw was them right there in front of me, so close yet distanced by the baracades. their set was too short, too rushed, but enough to satisfy my need to see and hear them.
i was pulled out of the amazingly crowded pit, slammed my thigh on the baracade, limped out to the back of the venue to their bus, and bothered someone to have the guys come out. i talked to chris & justin, and then they went back in. i saw cove randomly walking by, but he eventually dissapeared. getting frustrated but staying determined, i saw cove again and asked if he could have beau & alex come out. because alex was in the shower, only beau came outside. the minute he stepped out of the bus, a huge smile appeared on his adorable face. he walked over and gave me th ebest hug i've had since october of last year. instead of the usual hi, signature, picture, & bye he actually stayed there for at least 30 mins having an actual indepth conversation with me. i felt so happy. he eventually had to go, but then out came mr.rodriguez. the biy that always hudes from us, the boy impossible to talk to, the biy who is such a sweetheart. i was so happy to get a chance to chat with him.
it was such an amazing experience, & i don't regret anything i did that day. i miss them already & am excited to see them again. i'm one devoted little girl, & i know they appreciate my support.
