My favorite band ever!
I have had 4 chances to see them and every time I have a funny (not funny to me

Share the stories.
Ok
The 1st time was 2nd semester Senior year and this is when I just found out about them (The OC Season 3 Episode 1
) so Tickets were sold out and I was sad but I found 2 tickets for 50 bucks eachon Craigslist. I had other friends going and I didn't drive so I needed them to take me. So I was going to buy both tickets for me and my homie since hegave me money but my other friends said nah g we don't have room in the car for 2. So I decided not to be selfish.
The 2nd time was LA Weekly Detour Festival (Bloc Party, Justice, Cool Kids, Moving Units, etc for $30) My friends told me about so it was going to be 4 of us.I started talking to this one girl who was really interested so I asked my friends hey you sure you guys are going and they said yeah. So she went ahead andbought the tickets. Saturday comes conceert starts at 12. I call them at 11 and say Hey you still going right? 2 of em say sorry man I gotta save money and theother one got tickets to a USC game. I was distraught then I found someone last minute who wanted to go. So it would be me him and her. Then when we'redriving to pick her up he says Oh yeah I got to be home by 10 so we gotta leave at 9. And I'm like what? That's the middle of Moving Units set. Andwe'd miss Justice and BP and it's already 5 so we missed Cool Kids and Flosstramadus. And he's like yeah sorry and I'm like whatever I feel badfor the girl so let's go then after that he goes well now I don't want to go cause that's early. SMH
Now I finally got a car so my days of missing Bloc Party are over. So I thought. They have a show at the Glasshouse with Does It Offend You, Yeah opening soI'm extra excited. So we're at my friends house and we're all pregaming except the DD. And then we get super f'd up. Then right before we leavethe DD's mom calls him and I forget why but he couldn't go. So he drives home so we're all trying to sober up to see the show and it isn'tworking. Bloc Party goes on 1030-11 so one of us finally gets sober enough by 11 drives there then SOLD OUT.
Then the most recent heartbreak hurt the most. I see the show at Grove in Anaheim. And that's it no one is stopping me I'm buying the ticket now andthat's finally. Then when I'm talking about the show my homie's girl at the time was like oh my friend works there he can get us VIP passes. SoI'm like ok then so the week before she calls and he says yeah he can get us 4. But the thing is she didn't tell me but she's good friends withsomeone who works for the Grove. So she doesn't even know the guy. So the day of I'm excited and I call my other friend whose going and she asks me ifso and so is going. I call them and they say "damn i didnt know I'm down" and he goes to the website and goes damn sold out and I'm likesorry. So it's getting closer and closer it's 5 and I haven't heard from my homies girl then finally at 6 (doors open at 7 we live 30 mins awayplus traffic) She calls me like yeah Im just waiting on him to get out of work. And I'm like umm doesnt he work at the grove? And she's like no hisbest friend does. And I'm like why can't we just get the tickets and she's like their not ours theyre his because he's going to. Time goes bymore and more then 8pm rolls around and I'm just stunned like Woooooow again? And I fell asleep sad as hell and then to make things worse even though shehad good intentions , my other friend calls me from the show when Banquet comes on and I'm just laying on the bed sad as hell.
But whatever this time I bought 2 tickets to the show in my hand no will call and I said someone will buy this ticket off me or I will give someone a freeticket to go with me. I WILL NOT MISS MY FAVORITE BAND! And I like the band opening for them, Menomena (sp). So yeah that is the tragedy of my life.
