Entry: . The Stars will Cry the Blackest Tears Tonight . Monday, August 09, 2004



the two or three days before the accident, was a few of the best days that ive ever had.  i went to max's party on wednesday, we watched our 2 old videos for English class that we made. oh the good ol times. i miss school and seeing everyone. but the party was awesome. i drank the most i have ever drank in my whole life.  everyone was pretty messed up.  we played pong*, me and v-lip were the dominant team haha. they had all kinds of stuff there to drink.  i drank 3 cups of Rum/Coke that was half/half, 4 jello shots, bacardi 151, 4 mgd's and other stuff i cant remember.  about 15 ppl were there including his sister's, some of their college friends and a bunch of ppl from school...and D :( you shoulda came haha.  everyone crashed on the couches or on the floor. and me and max stayed up and talked on the computer while i drank more.  went to bed around 4:30am.  woke up around 11am or something cause his sister was cooking breakfast..waffles mm mm...and i had an MgD for breakfast as well. what a combo.  they came home from football..i felt bad cause they had to get up really early.  they then had to get there uniforms so they dropped me off at the HS and my grandmom picked me up without a clue what we were up to and took me home.  im trying to remember what else i did that day but i forget. 

Friday oh boi friday.  i woke up at 8. got dressed stylishly. and my mom took me over to Kate's house at 9.  hung out there with her and Liz until her bro got dressed.  we got in the car, and off we were to the WARPED TOUR!! yeah i know your jealous!...it took about an hour to get there. we took the wrong exit to get the Ben Franklin Bridge. so we asked the toll guy and he told us.  we get closer and closer to the Tweeter Center in Philadelphia where it was being held and kept seeing more and more cars with ppl that looked like they were going to the same place. so her brother was yelling out the window to the other cars haha.  we get there and park in the parking lot farthest away so we could make a quick exit.  took our 30 dollar tickets to the gate at Noon when the gates opened and got searched by the ppl . ewww, it was a guy, so i did not enjoy it. The tweeter center had about 5 different stages for over 50 bands playing throughout the whole day.  we were confused on where all the stages were at first cause they had it set up wierd and i never been to the tweeter center b4.  we were just looking around at all of the huts they had all around.  they had a hut for every band that was playing there. and they sold t-shirts and stickers and hats and all other stuff that you can think of.  we all bout a Warped tour t-shirt. they had this Huge blowup thing that had all of the bands, the time they were preforming, and the stage that they were preforming at.  the first band that we were dying to see was The Story of the Year! me, liz, and kate all went up real close and in the middle of all the action.  You could not move at all! not even move your feet.  The Band came out and everyone went crazy...ive never been to a concert b4 so i dont know really what is "crazy".  but everyone was going crazy. they start playing the music and the whole crowd pushes to the left, and you can even ask them, it was hard to breathe when you were in there cause you were gettin squashed up against everyone else, and little kids were gettin trampled on. then Kate fell down and everyone was stepping on her, until a guy helped her up.  i just wanted to not fall down and not lose my shirt haha. so me and liz try and get out of there...pushing through all of the ppl to get to the outside and we all got split up. i ended up all the way on the other side of the crowd, liz was on the other side, and kate was stil in the middle. some kids were smoking pot right next to me.  liz found me and was all teary eyed ;( , she said she was so happy to find me. we enjoyed some of there songs though without any pushing ..we heard them preform " Until the Day i Die ", and "Anthem of our Dying Day" :) but we stil didnt know where kate was so we went on the other side of the Am-trak cause the train runs right through dropping ppl off.  and we get up on railing and try to use our cell phones and call her but all you could hear was the crowd yelling and screaming.  this black guy was getting arrested right next to us by the Security Guards for who knows what. but we finally found her when she got out.  and we didnt go back into the mosh pit anymore the whole day cause i didnt wana die young.  we got drinks inside and everything and even got autographs from a band called"letterkills". we then got to see Matchbook Romance from where we could sit down in the auditorium. we then went to the other stage at the gate and watched a few bands preform before The Early November was gona preform :)..so we find a good seat on a railing really close to the stage. but when they finally come on to play...it was soo fricken packed with ppl!! omg it was soo crazy...ppl were pressing up against the railing and everyone asking " hey can i get across? ", " hey can i go through here? " , and trying to be a nice person i let a bunch of them through.  then more and more come so we were so sick of them all. you had to be there, its hard to explain but it was crazy. kate left, and i grabbed liz and we pushed our way through the crowd to get the heck out of there.  but at least we got to see the Early November.  there wasnt that many good bands preforming until 6:30 when they all preformed in a row. so we went around buying t-shirts and stuff utnil 6:30 when Coheed and Cambria preformed and they were good, but we left early so that we could get a good seat for New Found Glory. then we left that early so that we could get a really good seat for YELLOWCARD! oh man that was prolly the best one of the day!...we sat on a railing so that we could over the whole crowd. the whole time girls were gettin up on the guys shoulders and flashing the crowd lol what a site.  and they flashed Ryan *the main singer for yellowcard* and he points his finger and yells " BOOBIES! " lol!! oh my god it was soo funny.  we got to see them preform " Only One " :) and a few others but we again left early, i dont know why, but we should have stayed.  we then saw Taking Back Sunday! on the other stage.  kate decides to go back into the crowd for Taking Back Sunday but me and liz didnt want to so we watched from aways back but we a had a good view. that was around 8 oclock at night when we saw them.  then at 8:30 was the final preformance of the day. THURSDAY! goddd i love that band.  they only preformed two songs though " For the Workforce, Drowning " my favorite song.  and it was getting dark and we wanted to get out of there so we wouldnt get trampled by all the ppl so we left early. and got to the car where her brother was waiting for us cause he was tired.  me and liz were goin crazy on the way home in the car. i dono where that energy was during the whole day.  we stopped at Sheetz on the way home and saw Murphy and Lyster.  got our food and went back to kate's house where we watched tv, and i pigged out on all of the food. our stomach's were hurting sooo bad cause we didnt eat anything all day cause the food was sooo expensive.  i slept over night in a seperate* room and woke up who knows when. I had a fantastic time! then my mom picked me up and i went back home for about 2 seconds to get my bathing suit and back off i was over to Walbert's bday party. which was a lot of fun cause i got to see some of the kids i havent seen in forever! D was there :P haha. i stayed there for a few hours. until my mom came and picked me up again. my bro just got those professional poker chips and cards that were actually used at "Harrah's" casino in Las Vegas.  i then got online for a bit, my mom kicked me off, and i was waiting on the couch to get back online but i fell asleep :\ from the exhaustion haha.  woke up something screwed up on our computer and we lost all of our music but i downloaded it ALL back on again all 225 songs or something. then laura called and wanted to come pick me up with Ash, Kate, her, and Matt. went to the Swings at the HB Elementary. we were just cruising around, and then that happened. the last entry you can read and youll find out. - Ry -
