Everything I Do Is Awkward

I love MBF!
Ok so wake up today, get ready, meet Amy and we find our way to The Gateway. It is such a nice bar, wow, let's go there more often! So there was maybe 100 people there. I make Amy stand up against the fake fence. And I see Michael walk by before playing. He honestly just walked through the crowd to the stage and no one noticed but me. So epic. So in front of the stage there's a lot of space for standers, then there's the bar off to the left and then a nice sitting area in front of a whole bunch of windows. So Michael starts playing. He played Here in Your Arms acoustic, it was amazing. His whole set was acoustic actually, just him and his tools. Then he did a mix up of a whole bunch of songs, Britney Spears Piece of Me, Outkast Hey Ya, Flo Rida Low, Katy Perry I kissed a Girl and Hot and Cold and Miley Cyrus. It was actually sooo good. He also did a Weakerthans cover and I must say I love him doing their music but hate it when they do it. HAHAHA! He played a few of his songs which are golden. Then he did a loop and put all the sounds he wanted into the system and then made it play all together. It was the most amazing thing ever. Oh and then when he was tuning his guitar he tried to get people to tell him jokes or about their day and then he was like ya so.... everything I do is awkward. I must say I can relate to that.
Then he hung out at the merch table (it was actually a ridiculously small table.) So I went up there when no one else was there. And I made him dig through his bins of t-shirts for a not crazy size. I ended up with a mens medium. Then I was like I want the CD too!!!! And he was like how about this for 30 bucks I'll give you the shirt, the cd, the sticker, and the X92 cd. And so clearly I agreed because it was going to be 30 bucks anywho. Then I was like so I'm kinda needy will you sign my shirt too? And he was like what? So I was forced to repeat myself. Then he was like oh ya, I'll sign it right on the heart. (EEK! CUTIE! LOVE HIM!) And then I was all I was so stoked to see you finally play, we just came to see you! And he said aw thanks, but trust me Hey Ocean! will be much better than me, so stick around.
All in all I LOVE HIM! I'm never taking this t-shirt off ever.... Also I would gladly sign him to Make Believe Records.
Ok so Hey Ocean! is like really bubbly and happy. It made me happy. The drummer made the most hilarious faces when he was playing so I kept staring at him but I think he thought it was for other reasons because then he kept looking at me... However damn was the guitarist fine..... They're music made me really happy cause they were so happy doing it. Then they left and were coming back just to walk to the merch table but everyone started screaming and shouting encore so they walked back to the middle of the stage. and they were like you guys really like us that much? Well the sound systems been cut off but we'll play anyways. Then this girl yelled out a request and they were like ya thats the song we'll play next! how did you know? HAHAHAHA! Then they played one more when their sound came back on and were like if anyone wants to dance on stage come up here. So half the crowd went up, so me and Amy just stood against the fence and watched and so she was pretty much singing to us the whole time cause so many people were on stage but they were just standing there looking like idiots. HAHAHAHAHA! It was realllllllyyyy good. Then I was late for going home so we had to leave and couldn't stay to chill with them... Lame. Oh well.
So now I'm sitting in my MBF shirt, listening to This Is MBF EP and just soaking up life and loving it.
Love,
That first taste of water after an all out concert
