Home from the Cobra Starship gig with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greedy_dancer, crazybutsound, GF's friend and Jem's little brother. It was fantastic! Not just the concert but the Meet & Greet too. Aww, they're absolutely sweethearts, those guys; it was quite a wonderful experience. So, yes, after attending, I can say it would have been a pity to miss it :-)
Mind you, between the wait before aforementioned Meet & Greet and the actual concert, we sure earned our right to be there! I mean, we had to queue for some time (the usual when going to a concert) but at one point we really thought we were going to die from the cold before we even got the chance to meet them and once we were indoors and Cobra arrived, we were told that Gabe was stuck in traffic and they were hoping he'd make it here on time - which, ha, we sure hoped too! But he got there quickly and apologised for making us wait, which I thought that was very polite of him. Always a good point! The actual event was pretty nice, very cool and laid-back - we had a great time! Many photos were taken with all of them, pictures and CDs and The Economist (long story) were signed and mini-talks were had, even! Jem and GD felt quite talkative. GD especially chatted her little head off with the guys, it was quite funny (and cute) to see :-)
Because we arrived so early, we were able to stand very close to the stage, meaning we were just at a two-rows range. Yeap, two rows only. Which actually proved to be a bit crazy because the Cobra fans are kinda batshit insane and when Cobra came on stage after the opening act they got crazy and it was like being at war with people trying to trample you. We were in the mosh pit for Fall Out Boy and I swear it wasn't anything like that. I left the gang at one point because I wanted to feel like I wasn't going to be killed. I liked my new location much better than the first one (had Vicky-T right in front of me) even though I still had some crazies around me too. What can you do, right?!
Anyway, everyone got out of the gig safe and sound - no casualties in our ranks, no broken legs nor broken wrists, which wasn't an easy feat! - and we had an awesome time. Those guys know how to play their audience! ♥
Oh, and in case anyone's wondering? Vicky-T is even more gorgeous IRL. No, I didn't think it was possible. Yes, it really is.
PS: I'm losing my voice, always a good proof that a concert went very well :-) [ETA: Yeah, ok, I think it's more like an insta!cold than anything else, I can't stop coughing. Oh, well, at least it'll be a Cobra-approved cold lol]
PS2: GD, Jem, N. and me all treated ourselves with a t-shirt (the same, as it happens) so now we're all set for Cobra next concert \o/
PS3: New favourite crew dude = Matt!
