Hot Chelle Rae.

As a birthday present, my sister got me and my friend Katy tickets to see Hot Chelle Rae in Seattle, and I can’t even begin to describe to you how hard I cried.

FRONT ROW, BABY. Katy and I managed to push our way to the front, literally touching the stage. The opening acts, Jared Lee and Electric Touch, we’re AMAZING. (And I got a picture and a hug from the cute guitarist of Electric Touch. :) I was calm for the most part, but as soon as HCR came out and I saw them right in front of me, I lost it. THEY ALL LOOK SO GOD DAMN FLAWLESS IN PERSON. During most of the songs, I was crying my eyes out or screaming every time Nash got close to me. During I Like To Dance, I screamed “I LOVE YOU NASH.” on the top of my lungs and he looked down and smiled at me and I started crying even more. They boys sang Ryan Happy Birthday and brought him a cake on stage, him turning 25 the day of the concert, and it was the sweetest thing. Katy and I held up our “HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!” sign and screamed for him. He looked our way, but I’m not sure if he noticed it or not. Ryan sounded flawless, especially in Why Don’t You Love Me, along with the rest of the band. Nash got a guitar solo and was on the ground on the stage less than two feet from me and I flipped the fuck out. They did the rap in I Like It Like That and wore snapbacks and sunglasses and klfhsdkfhskj they were so cute. Luckily, I was able to record the whole thing and got some good pictures of everyone. :)


BUT THE BEST PART. THE BEST PART, I TELL YOU. Was after the concert.
After waiting outside the tour bus for almost thirty minutes, the guys came out, armed with Sharpies and big smiles. Katy and I ended up meeting them all and getting our CDs signed, and a picture with Nash.
I wasn’t so calm about this though.


I met Jamie first, and he was so incredibly sweet. Probably because I was crying. He’s so fucking adorable and chubby and he had a little semi-stache and oh my jesus. Timidly, I went up to him and was like, “Jamie? Can you *sniff* sign my CD please? *sniff, choked out sob*” He gave me the biggest smile and replied, “Oh, yeah! Of course.” and signed it, giving me a smile afterwards before going over to Katy, who was hyperventilating.  

Next, was Ryan. I had to wait over ten minutes to meet him, considering EVERY girl there was pushing each other to get pictures with him, since he was in only a tanktop and a fluffy vest. Unf. Being a short as I am, I waited behind some girls, calling, “Ryan. Ryan. RK. Rhino. Ryan.” until he looked over a girl’s head and gave me a smile. When she was gone, I went up to him, eyes already welling up and asked him to sign it. It was kinda awkward, because he was trying to sign the CD while it was still in my hand. When I realized the hassle I was giving because I shaking so much, I laughed nervously and handed him the CD, making him laugh and smile a bit. I said my thank you’s and he grinned at me before moving along.

Then I went to Ian. I was first in line to get something signed, and he had the sweetest smile plastered on his face when I went up to him. He is so tall in person, though. I just barely went to his shoulder. I asked him quietly if he could sign my CD, and he nodded and proceeded to do so, smiling the whole time. I got my CD signed and choked out a thank you and he smiled and replied, “you’re welcome.” then waved as I left.  I couldn’t breathe at all. 

FINALLY, it was time to meet Nash. I was sobbing while in line to see him, since I’ve been in love with him since I first got into the band. When it was finally my time, I just stood in front of him for a minute, trying to get words to come out. He looked so fucking good. He had a snapback on. And a slutty v-neck. (Which didn’t help the fact that I couldn’t breathe.) I ended up letting out a little sob, then saying, “N-Nash? Can you…can you sign this?” and handing him my CD, while my face blushed for the longest time. He smiled and replied, “Aaaabsolutely.” and signed his little NASH signature on the cover. While handing it to me, he touched my hand and I jumped a little, not expecting it. I started crying a little bit and smiled and thanked him, which he replied with a, “you’re very welcome.” and a big smile. Needless to say, I was a wreck after that.  


A few minutes later, Katy and I decided to go over to Nash, who was the only one still outside the bus signing stuff, to get a picture. I was still crying, but managed to tone it down and ask him, “Nash? Can we please have a picture with you?” and he grinned and replied, “Sure!” We got settled next to him, me practically cuddled to his chest and his hand on my lower back, and Katy on the other side of him. We handed this chick that we met at the concert Katy’s camera, and she took the picture. Well, tried to. She couldn’t get the camera to work. We stood there for a minute, not moving as she mad faces at the camera. Asdfghjkl then Nash leaned over to my ear and whispered, “is it working or…” and chuckled. IN MY FUCKING EAR OH MY GOD. I managed to let out a small chuckle and said, “I-I think so.” The camera did end up working, and the picture came out. We said our thank you’s to Nash and he smiled and replied, “Yup!” and went off.
KHDSAKJLHFKLJSAHFKJLASGLFK.
I get chills thinking of the fact that I was that close to him and he talked to me. Ajhdslfka fucking Nash.
Only after we got into the car, did I realize that I actually met them. I started hysterically crying. It was bad.
I WANNA GO BACK.


My Lovesick Electric CD they signed asdfghjkl. 



Our picture with Nash. :3 Shitty quality, because of Katy’s shitty phone and fact that it was dark, but asdfghjkl.
