The Thug In Me Is You Tour 2012

Novemeber 20th, 2012; San Antonio, Texas

I went to school, dressed in my shirt I made for Halloween with Ronnie's chest tattoo drawn on it because I was being picked up and driven straight to the venue. I then realized I left my phone and bracelets at home. I called my dad on the bus with my friend's phone and he told me we would just go home first.

I was waiting all day to get out and then, finnaly, 6th period came. I showed my teacher the pass to go down to my girls group and was not really paying attention, only focusing on being pulled out. My dad finnaly came to get me and we drove back home. My dad printed some stuff out and then we were on the road. I popped in Falling In Reverse's CD and started singing.

Two hours later, we were in San Antonio at the White Rabbit. We made it just in time for VIP. We were supposed to be there by 5:30 and we got there at about 5:20. We parked and made our way over to the VIP line.

I was tempted to talk to the girl in front of me but was too scared. I just stood there until they opened the doors at 5:30.

"NO PICTURES! NO VIDEOS! NO HUGS! NO TOUCHING OF ANY KIND!" A guy yelled before we were let in. The line started moving and finnaly, I got up to the guy giving out the stuff. He gave my dad and I wristbands, VIP passes and two posters. We then got in the line and I was talking to my dad.

The girl behind us started speaking up and telling us helpful tips and was really nice. I then got the courage to talk to the girl in front of me. Her name was Julia and she lived pretty close to me. She told me she had had the same idea to talk to me but decided not so she wouldn't be creepy. We finnaly got in the building and I had no iea where FIR was. I finnaly saw them as I approched them and started shaking even more. 

"Hi!" Derek said as I walked up to him.

"Hi" I said, really quietly. He signed my poster and then my dad got my other poster signed. I moved on to Jacky and got up all my courage to speak to him.

"Hi, my friend Victoria says she loves you."

"Okay"

"She gave you the scrapbook..."

"Oh yeah!" He said with a smile. I then moved on to Ryan who said hi with a big smile and I said hi back. I got up to Ronnie and handed him my letter and two pictures that I made them. Finnaly, I got to Ron and then went into the crowd with Julia.

"Jacky's accent is so much more beautiful in person! I think I'm about to cry! I'm shaking!" I rambled on and on. I talked to Julia until Crown The Empire came on. There were little mosh pits behind us which caused everyone up front to be pushed and my dad was protecting me the best he could.

Let Live then came on and the crowd got more wild. More mosh pits and then the crowd surfing started. This guy with a huge mohawk and combat boots started it. I ducked as he came by and my dad pushed him along. My dad's watch got caught on the guy's chain which then got pulled off his wrist. The whole time Let Live was on, I was pressed against this sweaty guy and was sideways to the stage.

When Let Live got off, my dad and I moved off to the side. They had opened up the doors so the deck was revealed. I stood still in the building so I wasn't on the deck. 

Then Enter Shikari came out and the crowd was even more crazier. We were pushed and I was pushed up onto the deck. It was a much better view. I didn't really like Enter Shikari but it seemed like they were on the longest.

They finnaly got off and my dad went to go get me a shirt. There was this girl in crutches next to me and I started talking to her.

Finnaly, Falling In Reverse came on. They showed a picture of Mitch and then a video of a cat ------->

Then it was their little video thing with Ronnie as president.

"Please welcome, your future president, Ronald J Radke!" The announcer announced as the screen dropped and out came FIR.

They started off with The Westerner which made me happy because it's my favorite song. They had bright lights and strobe lights.

They played all the songs off their album except for Don't Mess With Oujia Boards.

They went off and everyone started chanting "ONE MORE SONG! What? ONE MORE SONG! What?"

They came back on and played Tragic Magic. He then made us all sit down so he could tell us "his story." They played Situations and the last song was The Drug In Me Is You. I got the Radke For President shirt and went home.

I tried to sleep on the way home but couldn't. My feet hurt so bad but it was worth it.

I woke up the next day and it hurt to walk and I had a black eye but it was fun!

I suggest you go if they haven't come to you yet!
