but I just had THE BEST NIGHT of my life. Holy shit., you dont understand. like. it was fuckign amazing.

okay. lemme tell you.

FIrst off, this was the long awaited, long anticipated Coheed and Cambria concert. Ed, her sis, and I left around noon to get there. We waited about 7 hours in line. And by in line, we sat and chilled and talked with about 8 other people until a shit ton of others showed up.
And before a lot of people showed up and when we were driving in, Sam, Ed's sis, was like "That's Claudio Sanchez." To a bunch of 'kids' we though were college students. We FREAKED. But when we parked and saw them again, we were too scared to ask for an autograph. We vowed we would get it next time.
Then he came by a couple hours later with the band. I was the one to go up to him, and I am very shy to strangers, so that was big for me. I had my notebook and my DS (which I wanted him to sign) out and I was like "Excuse me, could I get your autograph?"
And Claudio was all "Sure! yeah!"
But then I think he saw the 8 or so people following me and he was like "NOPE." And he books it.
Everyone was all "Aww D:" But I turned to Ed and said "Hold my bag." And I chased after him. But I stopped after a couple steps and turned back.

We were FIRST in line. We got in, and BOOKED it to the front. Right there. Right in front. At the barrier. THe only people in front of use were the bouncers and the bands

and when coheed came out
Holy mother of god

Claudio SAnchez was a FUCKING BEAST. He was SO energetic, SO amazing. And he was RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. I can't hear anything but ringing, my mouth is dry as scratch paper, and I'm dead tired. SHIT MAN.

He played ALL my favorite songs! Favor House Atlantic, Devil in Jersey City, Time Consumer, Here we are juggernaut, Mother Superior, Feathers, Ten Speed, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth. He and his WIFE even covered Gotye's Somebody I used to know.

And. He also played Welcome Home

HOWEVER
When he did
During the solos.
He came forward
SAT DOWN
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, ED, AND SAM.
RIght THERE
RIGHT
IN FRONT

OF OUR FUCKING FACES.
I could almost touch him

He took his guitar off his back.
Played a little bit with his teeth
And then

And then


and then he held it out
Right in front of me.
His guitar was INCHES from my face
INCHES from Sam and Ed's

And

We played it.

WE PLAYED
CLAUDIO SANCHEZ'S
GUITAR.  

I pulled the strings, I touched the base.
And when I tried helping pull Sam's hand forward cause she couldn't reach it quite
Claudio MOVED IT TO HER so she could play it

Do you realize how awesome that is? How amazing it is for Claudio to TRUST his audience to touch his instrument?
And he could have sat ANYWHERE. Could have gone to the other SIDE of the stage. But no
No.
He sat in front of us.
In front of me.
A bouncer moved my hand back because I almost touched his leg.
I dunno, and this may be my ego, but I think he remembered me from earlier.

Guys. I am deaf and half mute.
And I am the happiest ever.
Fuck everything else, man.
Fuck people not returning my texts or answering my notes.
Fuck people ignoring me for who knows what reason because they don't talk with me so I don't know if I did or am doing things to upset them or make them feel bad or awkward.
Fuck all the bad stupid things right now.
None of that matters at all right now, if ever again.
Because. I played. Claudio Sanchez's guitar.
*passes out*
