Scatterbrained. - (Scomiche) One-shots & Mini Stories

Best Weekend EVER!

Hi everyone. Sorry this isn't an update - its an explanation.  I haven't been around much for the past month or so and I apologize, but the reason is I was preparing for my very first PTX concert experience and have just been so preoccupied with that I couldn't even bring myself to write.  If you don't want to hear about my experience then you can stop now... but if you'd like to hear about it, then by all means read on.  This is mostly so I don't forget anything ... which is bound to happen lol.  (Pictures will be posted on my tumblr if anyone is curious.  lauriannabrookes.tumblr.com I'll also post links to the videos I uploaded to youtube as well)

So if you're still around...

First let me start by saying I had the VIP private performance, which somehow seemed to really stress me out. I was just constantly worried I would do or say something ridiculous or embarrass myself as I have a tendency to do. With this in mind I asked one of my best friends, Matt, to go with me so I would have some kind of backup in case my mental faculties decided to just go on vacation once I was in the presence of greatness. He agreed, though he really had very little clue who/what Pentatonix is/does. So everything was set and the days began to go by way too quickly. Then I received the email that would make my life so much better. 

Live Nation decided to put some concert tickets on discount ... so I happened to share with my internet bestie (you know her best as Sreed09 <3) and she jumped on the opportunity and decided to join me at the concert. So after some super excitement and some plan making, we began to count down the days. I purchased an extra meet and greet vip for matt so he would be able to go in early with us and surprised Sarah with the private performance VIP (which went over really well ;P ) 

SO the day before the concert finally arrived and so did Sarah (after a nightmare with traffic, poor girl). We went out for dinner with some friends and then proceeded to go through concert prep/freakout/excitement until late/early in the morning.

Then the fun really began. I was a mess, dropping everything... tripping... just generally spazzing as the time moved forward. It took me ages to get ready, but eventually we met my friend Matt for a quick, light lunch at Red Robin and then we were off to Hershey. We were about an hour early, but time went rather quickly and soon we were lining up in the hot HOT sun to.... wait. Lots and lots of waiting... lots and lots of direct sunlight and this pale girl and sun do not mix well. Thankfully Matt likes sun and held our place in line a LOT while me and Sarah cooled down in the shade. After what felt like an hour (and may have actually been...) We were overheated, drenched in sweat and just all around miserable. THANKFULLY they opened up one of the concession stands and we were able to get some water and then we began to feel like actual humans again... (still sweaty, sticky and hot... but a little less dehydrated and nauseous lol)

Then PTX shows up looking flawless as always (Mitch & Kevin both in black w/ long sleeves in near 100 degree weather... not sure what they were thinking unless Mitch just wanted his new tattoo out of the sun?) Me and Sarah were watching them get ready and set up for pictures through the latticework of the enclosed area we were lined up next to. It was then that I got an eyeful of Scomiche being their usual touchy feely selves and Scott reached up to wrap his hand around the back of Mitch's neck while they spoke to someone and started caressing his neck with his fingers... like... who does that?! Anyway... while I was dying in Scomiche land the whirlwind picture/meet and greet experience began. Mitch wore his sunglasses through the entire thing, but in his defense everything was done outside so maybe he has sensitive eyes?! idk lol. 

So after the pictures we were back in line to wait for the autographs and it was about that time that Kelly Clarkson began her soundcheck (right next to us.) She's incredible. It just happened to coincide with me and Sarah hitting the table and all of us becoming distracted by her singing. Scott just completely paused to take it in for a moment and stopped signing right as sarah and i got to him. This created a backup in the line but also got us quick convos with Scott Mitch and Kevin about how amazing she is and how excited they were. So then it was time to figure out where to go for the private performance. One of the guys working seemed to like Sarah and I and kept making sure we were in the right place so we ended up waiting right in front of the little shaded area PTX was in but we were too busy dancing and singing along to Kelly's soundcheck like idiots to realize we'd been caught and as PTX passed us to head backstage they all got a good laugh (esp Avi and Kevin who said he loved us lol) At this point we were on a high and didn't really care to be embarrassed, we were way too excited for that.
