Bittersweet Bamboozle.

Woah, what a night!

As you all know Marlee and I were lucky enough to attend Toronto's Bamboozle Roadshow, and it was our first show as a blog! It's really weird saying that now, there was so much leading up to last night and it all happened so fast. After miner confusions at the gate Marlee and & were in, media pass in hand! We were so shocked that we were holding a media pass for the event! So let me make this clear, it was our first show as a blog, our first ever granted media passes in one of the largest venues in Toronto! We were on cloud 9!
When we finally got to the stage during LMFAO's set, they killed it! I can't even begin to tell you how wicked these guys were live! The Party Rock Crew was amazing, they had dancers in the pit with the crowd, the guys were all over the place on stage! It felt like a huge party, unreal!

Next to take the stage was Third Eye Blind, and wow did things get old school! They played a wicked set but you could tell all the girls were just itching for All Time Low to get up on stage!
Not long after the lights dimmed, and the screaming began! I walked over to the media section and just walked up to the stage, it was really weird being on the "other" side of the barricade! I had a ton of fun talking to all the fans in the front row, they were all so excited and had been their for so long! The guys to the stage, and it was
time to start snapping pictures! I need you all to imagine me running around the media section snapping shots of All Time Low with Marlee's digital camera amongst all these photographers with massive cameras, funny isn't it? Well I mean, you gotta start somewhere right? we jammed out! The All Time Low boys politely asked security to allow the entire crowd into the pit area, they agreed! I think the boys made a lot of girls nights by allowing them to come closer to the stage! The pit was poppen it was a big crazy crowded party, and everyone loved it! As we were dancing to the music Marlee and I realized that her camera was about to die... RIGHT BEFORE GIRLS LIKE BOYS! This was not going to be okay, we started to panic, luckily enough we found my friend Meaghan in the audience and she said we could use her camera to shoot Girls Like Boys, MEAGHAN - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Right before the set we ran into some friends, Sylvia & Samantha of LipGloss & Black (everyone check them out) The boys of OutSpoken who I have known for ever! It was wicked running into so many people at this show!

It was time, I had the camera in hand the lights were off and all I could hear were girls screams and Boys Like Girls ran on stage! They started the set with Love Drunk which really got the crowd hyped up. This was the third time we have seen the guys in Toronto and they never disappoint. Going to a Boys Like Girls show is a guaranteed good time! They closed the show with The Great Escape and it could not have been better! They played a flawless set and had the crowd jumping the entire time!

After the show Marlee and I headed home, we both worked today so we had to get up super early! As we pulled into my drive way we noticed that Marlee's camera was no where to be found! We tore her car apart, and unfortunately the camera is still no where to be found. All of the pictures we had are gone, except for the ones we took with Meaghan's camera! So to all the girls we took pictures with we are so sorry but those pictures are lost for ever!
This night was truly amazing (other then the camera incident) , we had a night beyond our expectations!
