Double the Trouble: HONOR SOCIETY. Allentown, PA & Clifton Park, NY. April 29th &30th,2010.

Double The Trouble........ he he.

See what I did there?
Cause it's...
The Here Comes Trou----
*crickets*

Anyways....

You read it right. We decided to see Honor Society one day after another in two different cities, in two opposite directions, two days in a row.

And by "we" I meant me & Ally.
The only one just crazy enough to want to venture off with me and my parents to Allentown, PA to see HS play at The Crocodile Rock Cafe, and then go back home to meet up with the rest of the group for the Clifton Park show.

We left that Thursday morning from my parent's workplace, and made a quick stop at McDonald's.

["Can I get salt no fries?"- Mother]

There was also set the Tom Tom aka Homer....
;)

....I believe it was an omen.

Anywhoooo... we hit the road, and I can honestly say it took us no time at all to get there.

Everything in Allentown was pretty familiar from a previous trip, and as we got closer we decided to hit a DD for a quick potty break.

That's where our troubles began....

First thing we noticed was a some blue spots on the back of Ally's jeans, and figured out that Madison had left a marker on the seat where she sat, and we didn't notice til now.....

Thennnnnnnnnnn as were were inside, my mom and dad were outside looking all around the car. They then told us that our car had a flat tire.......................

Seriously?

Finally someone came and put a spare on it, that the parents were gonna use until we got to the venue, and then they could get it fixed somewhere in town.

But we got back in and followed Homer.... He basically brought us into the Ghetto, bc of an East-West confusion in the Croc Rock's address......

So we went back to basically where we had started and then finally went the right way.

We made it to the venue, and got in line, which at this point really wasn't that long.

We came up as they were running a raffle.
I saw Kat handing out numbers to people in line, and for the person who won, would get to go to Soundcheck and Meet & Greet!

So I got one, and a lil later they pulled out a number.....

AND I WON!!!!!! :)

Omg I got so goddamn excited, and it was a great end to our bad luck.

Anywho, Kat took down our names and gave us wristbands, and we....... made friends with the girls behind us, so they could hold our spot :)

Anyways, it wasn't too long before we got to go in.

There wasn't a lot of people, so we got a good view, and we weren't in there long before the guys came out and onto the stage.

They sang See U in The Dark?.... idr....
But then they answered some questions. Here is them in a vid I recorded asking who would play them in The Honor Society Movie...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79DImVQ9y3A
"See You In The Dark.... In 3D"
"Also in 2D"
<3>

They also brought some girl up to sing "Where Are You Now" with her name in it. Lol.

It was so goddamn funny to see in person.

Then it was "When I Get Home" <3 and they ended the Soundcheck portion, and lined up for the Meet & Greet.

Well we were last-ish, but whatevs.

When I got up to them, I automatically broke the "No hugging" rule, and gave Alex a quick hug, and he said it was nice to see me again.

Then I got in the middle and asked for a "group hug kid of thing".

Andy obeyed by puttin his arm in. Alex had it that way until he picture was actually taken, and then he stood normal.

Jackass.....

But I can tell you right now that I am IN. LOVE. with this picture. <3<3<3<3>After the pic was taken, I got my stuff and waited for Al.

When she was done, we headed over to the meet and greet table to buy our merch meet and greet item, and this time, I got the shirt I initially wanted in NYC. lol.

We then headed back out, and were getting a lil hungry at this point.

So we had another group of people hold our spot while we made a trip to Subway.

On our way there, some random guy asked who was there that night, and Al answered Honor Society......... while Just Kait was right behind us.... =X

We should have said something, but also didn't wanna blow up her spot as she was heading into the Pizza parlor.

We got our Subway though and went into the pizza parlor to gander at their wall of fame before going back in line.

Turns out we were in the right line...

Bc as soon as were were let in, me and Al got a spot 2nd/3rdish row of girls in from of Jason. Not too shabby....

The show took a while, and had a fierce playlist of beats and Jonas Brothers. [The girls went nuts.]

But before, we knew it, Ashlyne was up first, rocking a black tank and these super cute shorts that I want now!

And I liked her SO MUCH better this time around!

I knew the songs a lil more, and she did an amazing job that night.

Just Kait also came out and killed it that night, and I recorded "Heart- Shaped Bruise" this time :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UXjPgzDgEw

After Kait, it was a lil wait before HS was ready to go, but they finally made it to the stage with another AMAZING performance.

Everything was pretty much like NYC, with a little better view.... lol.

The only difference was that they added in "Heartache in the Suburbs"& "No Win Situation" !!!!!!

And Michael and I continued this Staring Contest we'd started during soundcheck, and we tried to see who would look away first.... I mean, I was victorious. lol

I also got a text from my dad saying that him and my mom were on the side of the stage watching the show!

So I looked over and low and behold, there they were. Lol.

When the show ended, my mom actually got a vid of them leaving the stage.

She said she high fived em all and took a vid.

She was so close, that I was able to get these stills...

She's crazy. lol.

Anywho, me and Al waited back near the Gypsy Lady, who was rockin out to some Michael Jackson at the time............................

And then we got in line and wanted to be at the end.

[Here we go again....]

So all the way from the room, to downstairs, and into the meet and greet room, we fought to stay in the back, and were victorious til about the end, when it was another girl.

Stupid bitch.

But we stayed in line, and got out our gift for Alex, which was a Syracuse Basketball shirt due to this tweet he replied to me a while back.... And we listened to other people around us.

And all I really remember was these retards with their light sabers (they were at NYC show).

It was their last show so they had em sign it, and I guess they gave Alex one at a previous show bc they asked him if he played with it.

"I play with my light saber every night"

......................................................................................................................................................................

Oh?

So I laughed at some random girl and Michael's mom watched.....

And I was the first to meet Andy first.

I handed him a picture that I took in NYC that I got an 8x10 of for them all to sign.

He asked what show it was. And I probably very duh/rudely was like "New York Cityy?"

And he was like "Oh Wow. Sorry I asked, it's just that we don't get to see this perspective of us... so I can't really remember.... ... But it's a really great picture."

He then handed it to Alex who signed it and then looked it over as Andy talked about how excited he was for Clifton once again.

Oh Andy.....

Anyways, when we got to Alex, he pointed to the pic that was now with Michael and said he liked it as well.... Then I tried to remind him of when he said that he liked Syracuse, which is our home team, so we got him this shirt....

He got excited and him and Michael were like "Oh snap!...." "The Cuse!"- Alex. It was madd cute.

He apparently kept it, but we're hoping he wears it soon!!.......................

[So?.......... Alexander........................? lol]

Then he thanked us as Kat was telling us to move along *rolls eyes*, and I went quickly through Michael and Jason who I reminded about coming to the show tomorrow.

"Should be a good show!"- Jason [I mean don't be dumb Jason.... LOL]

At this pojnt, I had gotten Ashlyne and Just Kait's stuff in NYC so I didn't need to see them again.

While Ashlyne was talking to someone I thought I could be real slick, and just go around........

But no, he saw me, apologized and told me to go right ahead.

I told them both that I had it already, but that they both did a good job, before I headed upstairs.

Turns out that upstairs was into the pizza parlor where my parents were along with some of Just Kait's band.

We didn't stick around too much longer and we just ended up going to the car.

We also ditched Ally's non-used Just Kait poster and Ashlyne Huff CD Sampler in the bush that she didn't need. lmao.

We headed back to the hotel which was 45 mins or so away, but not too bad.

We took turns taking showers before settling for bed.

The next morning, we were up at about 6ish? after my phone alarm blastin HS singing the Golden Girls theme song... lol.

We got ready and out by like 7:30ish I believe?....

And headed across the street for Breakfast.

We hit the road shortly after, and even that ride didn't take long either.

We were home in NO Time. Went to my house for a quick minute and then to Ally's.

Ash got dropped off by Lauren [my bff I miss her :P], and Caity came and got us afterwards.

Since Emma was unable to go this time, we thought we'd be great friends and let Brinnuh take her ticket. So she did, and we picked her up before heading out.

It didn't take us long to get to Clifton Park either.

In no time were in the town and found Northern Lights Plaza.

It was a random place too. Near some church and a gym that we joked they were probably in. Turns out they were and we saw them walking back. =P

There wasn't a lot of people there at all, so we just chilled.

After a while, we decided to make signs and so we ran to the dollar store for a minute for little posters and markers as well as crayons and coloring books...... we're such children.

So we made two signs and then doodled on the others. lol.

One said CUSE that we planned to raise up for the picture they usually take the crowd....

And one for Alex to give me and Ally a couple of his drumsticks.

We left them out with Brinnuh as we had to get in line for our Soundcheck & meet and greet that we all won through the fanclub :)

Kat remembered me and checked off my name and some girl put our bracelets on.

Al's was a lil to tight too, so she had to get another one. Lol.

Then she asked if we wanted to write a question for the guys, so Ash came up with one and I wrote it down. Team effort. lol.

While we waited the boys did their pre-soundcheck before the Soundcheck party, and they watched everyone singing and dancing along. We probably all looked really sexy.... lol.

Then they went somewhere and we got to go in.

We were on Andy's side this time, and they didn't take long at all to come back out.

They sang Two Rebels?.... I don't even know.... lol

And then did another q&a sesh.

*Michael's peacocking*

They were pretty cute, but some of us got a tad bit excited when Alex answered our question!! [Al called it to bc she thought she saw Alex holding it :)]

You can see the whole thing here:

So we had a good chuckle, and they once again sang "When I Get Home" before Soundcheck ended.

We once again got at the end of the line, and got ready for our pics.

Because I had won the day before, and I knew that we were gonna have soundcheck for this show, I decided to give up my pic so that we could finally have our KACA picture with Honor Society. It needed to be done. I'm such a sweet gal. 0:)

So Ashley went first, and she had them be the nerds falling over the pretty girl, which turned out amazing.

Glasses provided by ash, me and Al btw...

Mine are on Andy and Michael.

We couldn't stop laughing at Alex. lol.

Then, Caity and Al went before me.

I told Kat my idea, and she said "Ok everyone in!" So they came back over, and Alex started to put his arm around me, when Ash reminded us that we were gonna do "handhugs".... Dammit...

So we all crossed arms and huddled up for this Epic picture :)

"That's gonna be a good one"-Alex.

Duh. lol.

We stopped by the merch table to get our other bracelets, and I got some sweatpants with "Goodnight my Love" written on the ass, lol. [They're the ones I was gonna get in nyc but they didn't have them til this show!]

Then we headed back out, and started talking to a girl we recognized from the FL Pearl River show.

After a whileeeeeee, we finally got to go in, and it was by far the closest we'd all gotten together. Right behind just one group of girls. ["The Jolly Green Giant"]

The show seemed like it took forever to start, but when it finally was time to start, the show went by so quick.

Ashlyne killed it once again, and Just Kait rocked out.

Honor Society played a pretty intense show bc as we all knew, it was Andy's hometown show. Lol.

I remained victorious in the staring contest [except for when Al broke my concentration bc I thought she was talking to me during soundcheck.

But the show.... I still win.] Then I decided to record "Here Comes Trouble", just bc it was right.

And in the beginning... Yes, Michael pointed at my camera :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuQXjWhaVAs

<3>

We also held up the Cuse sign during the picture....

And the Drumstick one half-worked out bc Alex only ended up with one drumstick, and he handed it to me...........

The show ended, & it kind of sucked that this was truely the last show for a while :(

So we took our asses over the bar and got a drink.

Ashley introduced me two nice girls... one that went to SU, and one who had interviewed them earlier that day. Luckyyyyy!

Then we got in line for m&g. I was 2nd to last again, and I didn't get to hear too much of everyone else's convos but it was pretty mellow this time.

Just kinda talked about the show, and some handhugs.... and Jason asked if this was the last show.

That was depressing... thanks CHIEF.

Then ash handed me her CD and I said "Oh I already...." And both her and Kait remembered from the night before that I'm all good. lol.

So then we headed out to Pam, and made the trip home.

I really only remember changing into my new HS sweatpants [I mean I had a dress and tank top underneath so don't get worried], and falling asleep.

Woke up just as we got home, and dropped Brinnuh off before going to Denny's.

And we didn't stay long....
But should have stayed a lil longer.....
We'd just missed DRAKE!!

Anyways, me and Ash stayed up til like 4/5 watching vids and looking at pics and reminiscing about the night we'd had.

It was a good ending though, bc it really was gonna be a while before we were going to see them again...

[Though me and Al were REAL close to going to Boston....]

But Ash had told them my brilliant idea of them to play at the fair before Lady Antebellum at the fair. ;)

And if not.... There should be a tour for summer and fall that will hopefully have Syracuse on it!

It was so much fun going back to work too lemme tell you. Lol.

Lady I work with: "Didn't you go on a tour or something?" Me: "A tour?"
Lady: "Yeah all those days you had off, I heard you went on tour with some band?"
Me *giggling*: "Uh yeah, kinda...... lol"
Lady: "Who did you see?"
Me: "Honor Society....."

Lady: "OH good for you!!"

...... yeah I'm pretty sure she thinks it was for school. Lol.

Peace out.
