So I got there around 3ish. First people I talk to are Gigi and Blake, then I notice someone come and hand me along with the rest a bottle of water and it turned out to be Shim after I looked a second time haha. He had on some big white framed sunglasses and his hair was a little messy so I didn't recognize him right away, that was so nice of him though! (it was pretty hot!) So I put up the posters Susanna sent me, followed by the Rock Prophecies ones Jerry had given us the night before. So will-call took a while to get the list (doors had already opened and people were inside) but fortunately Sarah and Kristen saved me a spot by the rail. I got some sticker passes too with a new SP design that said VIP, but I had no idea what it meant or what they were for the entire night lol, but a nice thing to add to the collection I suppose.
So the set-list also consisted of mostly new material once again! and it was roughly this:
War
Cancer
Master of the Universe
Survive
Odd One
Riptide
All The Same
Maybe
Say My Name
You're Going Down
Pitiful
Nothing Really Matters
[Encore:]
My World
I asked Shim to play "Maybe" for the Glasshouse show the night before at Capitol since it's my favorite new song. (followed by Don't Walk Away, White Balloons, and I Hate You). So I was so stoked when I heard the intro strums to it, but before kicking in, Shim started talking and dedicated the song to me! said something along the lines of "This one goes to Serge, it's his favorite song" which was easily the highlight of my night! Still quite shocked haha. So when Pitiful is close to ending, I start heading towards the merch table to collect signatures, and then I hear Shim say the new album would be out on the 14th but people would be able to buy it TONIGHT!! I reached the merch table and there they were! Sadly I had no cash and am extremely broke so wasn't able to buy it initially which made me very bummed lol, but I pulled together and kept on getting signatures (the line was MASSIVE by the way, it was outside and around the building!!) Then it seemed the entire world kept talking to me as I was doing the signatures, so since I hate ignoring people I had to balance both, haha (was talking to Cheli, then Vanessa from the local station, then Paul, then an old friend, then some other friends) Then Missy called me in because they were taking an Ambassador photo (I was having a lovely chat with Paul & Cheli about the Tri-Polar logo, bummer I had to cut it short! but according to Paul they are planning necklaces and even earrings of the symbol)
So when I went inside Shim asked me if I had gotten the album already but I said I had no cash, then he said "We'll work around it" and just handed me one lol. But then after I headed back outside I had found out my friend Kristen had bought me one, which was so sweet of her! I'll bring the $10 for that former mentioned album at Bakes though! So then I had an awesome 10-15 minute convo with Emma about all kinds of stuff, I still have no clue how that happened, I'm always so shy/nervous around her, and in fact, out of all the times I've been around her, I talked to her more tonight than overall/combined all those other times (only managed to say 3-5 words before). I suppose it's because I had SO many convos that day/night that I just didn't even realize it was Emma until in my mind I thought *le gasp! it's Emma

After that, the band still stuck around for a bit, then around 1am we were all in our big group talking and just said our goodbyes. It's a bummer that the group keeps decreasing by show =[
I think that's about every highlight, anyone else is welcome to add anything I might have missed or if they just wish to share their version. So that didn't turn out to be brief at all! I guess the amazingness of the night outweighed the tiredness and hunger. I'm so happy, I adore this band, and anyone involved
