We are the children of the night! We are the children! pt1

Listening to: various live/studio videos of The Blackout - 5:19 performance 'Children of The Night', Radio 1's In Session 'Save Ourselves', Live Lounge cover 'Boys and Girls' vs 'Shut Up and Drive'

Well, I predicted it and by god K! tour did NOT disappoint in any way. After spending a good three hours(!) queuing in the freezing cold, enduring half an hour of snow before doors opened, attempting to keep warm with Starbucks hot chocolate and Burger King chips, I can safely say Wednesday night was the most incredible night of my life thus far. I've never been so crushed at a concert and never managed to stay front centre for the full thing! Granted I did get separated from Danii, Coral, Katrina, Gary and Lauren :/ but I had an amazing time anyway.
So, My Passion were the first band of the evening and got everyone moving pretty well, pretty fast. I think we were all still freezing and just wanted to get warm like. And how long have I wanted to see My Passion? A year? Maybe more? Finally got to see Laurence in all his Sweeny Todd hair, muscly armed and legging-ed (srsly) glory! He jumped into the crowd at one point and I kinda arm-raped him. But that's to be expected. Great start to a fantastic night.

Next up - Young Guns! Oh yes, bring it on. Oh and I totally bonded with this guy who came round asking if people wanted to sign up for this Academy competition (forgot exactly what) over YG and Yashin. It went something like this:

(As I was wearing my Yashin hoodie to keep warm)
Dude 1: Oh look, another Yashin hoodie!
Dude 2: You coming to Glamour of The Kill?Me: Hell yes!
Dude 1: (explains competition and stuuuuff)......
Dude 2: So who you all here to see?
Me: Everyone really.
Dude 2: But if you had to choose...
Me: (hahgfgsvfk) The Blackout aaand....Young Guns
Dude 2: YES! *high five*
Me: Got my Young Guns tshirt on and all.
Dude 2: Oh really? Which one?
Me: The Winter Kiss one.
Dude 2: SNAP! Me too! You get the bundle?
Me: Yeah!

Lolz a bit :')

Where was I? Yes! Young Guns! They were actually amazing live, sound, performance - everything. Gus even slipped over at one point, I did a lol inside but it was so adorable. After the song finished he was like "Okay, so let's just pretend you didn't all see me fall over..." Bless him. Then during 'In The Night' (L) Gus jumped into the crowd - got arm-raped by me - kicked me in the face then somehow got stuck in the crowd. He stayed there for most of the last song (Daughter of The Sea) and Simon attempted to drag him out by his ankle but failed and just let the security do all the work. Mint! I'm so glad they got a really good reaction from the crowd, it's really unusual for a support band to get that but y'know they did really well. Can't wait to see them again.

By now I was pretty sweaty and getting even more squashed by teenies blates trying to push through to the front, when they clearly wasn't ANY way through. Urgh. Anyhow, just before The Blackout came on someone sprayed Relentless from somewhere and it almost ruined my YG tshirt. But it smelt of raspberries and I kept getting wiffs of it throught TBO, which was quite tasty ;)


- So I'm splitting this into two parts, cause Blogspot is being gay :| The Blackout and All Time Low photos next.
