So I basically love the Cobras even more. Yesterday was the Sassyback tour (my 7th cobra show) and it basically rocked my life. I brought my friend along even though he knows only a few of their songs and we got meet and greets. They brought us down to a small room, which was lit with candles and smelled of inscense. After a bit of a wait, I saw Alex walk across the floor and start dancing since no one was getting up. (the chairs were comfortable) So Gabe wasnt at the meet and greets so he could rest his voice but I made my way over to everyone. My friend loved meeting everyone , just because they were all real nice. Alex made a "thats what shes said" remark to my friend and Nate thought he was drinking beer and was real excited to sign his "bear can, which was just diet coke. Vicki signed the can and put "MMM" on it too. Talked to Ryland for a bit about guitar and This is Ivy League and he was so nice. I got all of their signatures, except Gabe of course, and am going to give it to my cousin, who loves the band (I already got autographs at Warped)
We left and I got barricade spot but the the far right (stage left). I knew we were going to be pushed but over the course of the night, I moved only 2 feet.
The opening bands were good. Not my cup of tea, but live they were fun. FTSK were very entertaining. (unfortunately cameras werent allowed)
Cobras were great as always. The first song, I caught a guitar pick that Gabe stole from Alex and through out to the audience (however by the end of the night, the text (which said Cobras on one side and Pleasure and Suavez on the other side) has rubbed off.... I'm gonna have to sharpie it back in or something... I know I caught it, dont care what others think) I also caught a glow stick thrown by Alex. For the encore, Ryland came out and danced and talked about Pleasure Ryland. It was kind of amazing. The rest of the band came out and finished the set with Pleasure Ryland and Guilty Pleasure. Gabe jumped into the crowd at the end of Guilty Pleasure and stayed there to sign autographs and take pictures. He was honestly one of the nicest guys. He loved that I was wearing the first Cobra Starship shirt ever made and took a picture of us.
Gabe: Myspace picture! *hold out camera high above head*
Me: Are you sure you can handle the big camera? (My camera is bigger than ost of the typical square ones....)
Gabe: I can handle a big anything
Me: Oooh, bigshot *insert dirty thought here*
Awesome night. The entire band was incredibly nice. Finally got to meet them and talk to them. Lucky number 7!!!
