I only played chess once in my life and I lost

So why was July 9th such a wonderful day/night?
Would you prefer the long or condensed version?
Long? Good, because I have no idea how to condense anything that I say.

A few months ago my sister found out that one of her favorite bands was coming to our area. I really had no interest in taking her but was willing to. Her and her friend Courtney have been wanting to see this band together for over a year. This was their chance.
Then, when Courtney brought it up to her parents, her mom offered to take her and my sister which was cool by me.
About a week after this was decided, I listened to one of the bands on the flyer, Breathe Carolina. I instantly fell fucking head over heels for their catchy, dancy music. I came to the conclusion that I had to attend this show.
Well, more time passed and the show was nearing and her mom hadn't brought up taking them since that one time a few weeks back. Then her parent's were concerned about her missing a color guard practice.
Anyway, all of that got fixed and 20 minutes before we were about to leave for Pensacola, we got the call from her saying that she could definitely come.
We arrived there with about 30 minutes to go before the doors would be opened. We sweat our asses off as I played with my new cell phone.
Finally we were allowed in and we made our way to the empty spot at the stage where we stayed for the whole show.
The show actually started on time (6:30) and the first band was decent. The 2nd band was horrid, the third was alright, and then it was time for Breathe Carolina to take the stage.
They had a smoke machine, an insane light show, and a fucking keytar. Due to time constraints, they were allowed 25 minutes which equalled out to 4 songs. We were all dancing and I was screaming along to the few lyrics I knew and then they started to play my favorite song of theirs. I went completely crazy. As Kyle (the screamer in the band) made his way around the stage, he came over to our side and was right above me (I swear his eyes were focused on my tits) for about 10 seconds. Not even a minute later he made his way back to our side and bent down right in front of my face with the microphone and there I was, yelling the lyrics along with him. What's funny (but hardly funny) is that the lyrics were "...me and you forever, me and you forever..."
The band after them was A Skylit Drive, who are the reason we made the hour trip in the first place. Taryn and Courtney were hilarious to watch as they screamed along and actually started to head bang at one point.

We left the stage as the last band was setting up. The girls wanted to meet the band members and I was interested in talking to Kyle from B.C. The girls lost themselves completely as they walked from band member to band member, blushing, and asking them to sign their poster. Incredibly adorable.

I approach Kyle and ask him to sign my poster and he has to dig for a sharpie. He signs it and we begin talking about all the technical difficulties every band had been having to deal with all night and about his band coming back next month. He hugs me about 50 times in this 5-7 minute span and tells me that he hopes to see me at the show in August and blah blah blah. The boy is gorgeous and was completely interesting to talk to. It felt like there was no one else in the heavily crowded room as we hugged and talked.
I walk back over the Taryn and Court where they're all smiles and stop going into some silliness that included "Omg, he's in love with you! Did you see the way he was looking at you?!" etc. And as of right now I still don't know if he's just like that with every fan (the girls observed and said that he was not) or if he was a bit flirty (my at times shitty self esteem says nah).
ANYWAY.
The next band was ready by the time all of this excitement was over, so we stopped to watch them and make fun of the kids "hardcore dancing."
When they were done and the show was officially over and the clock was showing 11PM, I followed the girls around a bit more as they got more autographs and pictures. Then, the other main guy in B.C. (David) appeared from wherever he had been hiding all night, and I got him to sign my poster and talked to him for a couple.
I decided that I had to talk to Kyle again. About what, I had no idea.
Instead of standing around, waiting for him to finish chatting it up with other band members and looking like a total tool, I followed the girls around some more (I guess I still looked like a bit of a tool, hah) and then I had my moment. He left his group to talk to us and I thanked him again for whatever it was I was thanking him for (being in a great band? playing that night? whatever.) He followed that by more hugging and thanking us for being there and enjoying the music. Some other things were said and then he spotted my sister's Harry Potter jacket and expressed his love for H.P. which was quickly followed by him admitting that he had not read the 6th OR 7th book. I teased him about that and told to be done with them by the time I see him next month.
Let me stop right here and go completely girly. The whole time I would be talking to him, he was looking me dead in the eyes. My knees went weak, my mind went hazy and it was absolutely amazing. Then his eyes would shift away and he would be looking all over my face as if he were searching for an answer to some unasked question. He also kept this brilliant smile as I was talking and I never felt for a second that he wasn't interested in what I had to say.
This was all followed by more hugs (naturally) and he gave me the sweetest wink that I had ever received. He thanked us for talking to him and we returned the thanks to which he replied "Why wouldn't I talk to you guys? I'm just some guy hanging out" to which I said "...playing incredible music." and he went in for (another) hug and as his mouth was right by my ear he said "I'm glad you think so." As we said our final goodbye he had his arm around me and then squeezed the back of my arm right before we walked away.

Yeah, this is less about the concert and more about my being smitten over a boy in a touring band who probably acts this way with everyone.

I'm going to go make a new Muxtape thang which will probably take me about 30 minutes. The link is on the sidebar :]
