Cobra Starship 29/05/09

Ok So me and katie left uper early to go to London - 7:30!!! but it wasn't to get in line or anything, my dad just had to get in early. After hours of being to hot and wondering around Oxford Street we left at around 3.00 to get the the venue, ULU and the trip there was pretty easy. We got in line with the array or Cobra fans, the brighlty coloured 'die hards' to the trendy hipsters and blew bubbles for a while. I noticed that Nate from Sing it Loud, who I love(!) came out to sell the last of their CD's and I got out my bracelet that I made for him. He came over and started talking to the girl next to me who I guess saw them last night and got some trident gum and I was like 'Nate?' and said 'I made this bracelet for you...' then his eyes got huge and he looked so happy! He put out his wrist and I put it on for him and it was a perfect fit:) He asked what the colours were which confused me until he said he was colour blind:( He kept thanking me and then asked my name and Katies and then started talking about how London was so similar to New York. The girl from the night before asked if he had managed to go to topman and he said he hadn't but he went on an earlier date and spent all his money. Then Sickboy came out and I gave him his bracelet and he got me to get up so that he could give me and hug:) After that, Nate went on to sell some more CD's and Sickboy went away to have a smoke.

We waited for a couple more hours and not much happened, I needed to pee so we went to the waterstones and that about all. Some woman came by and was asking if people had ID and we said yes but I got super worried that they will be checking and it turned out that they were.  I saw a girl get turned away because she didn't have any so I was really freaking out but the guy checked two out of the three girls in front of us and then got distracted and me and katie just went ahead and the guy came back, missed us out and checked the two people beind us, one of which had a beard. So I was super stoked to have got in and we went to the merch table and got our come around wristbands, I really wanted a best beating heart one but they didn't have them on the tour so hopefully next time they will. We then got into the crowd and I was in an ok position. I kept letting Katie in front of me because shes so small but after Mimi Soya and Cash Cash she was not happy and went over to the edge. Pat and Ben came out when Cash Cash played Party in your bedroom and Pat had these crazy glasses on. The music being played was great, lots of poppy stuf like Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers and it was amazing to see all these poser types singing along. I was in an great place for Sing it Loud and when Nate, Pat and Kieren crowd Surfed, I was right under them! I saw Nate wearing his bracelet too which made me happy and took some pictures of him with it. Pat and Nate came out with water bottles and completeyly soaked us just before they left too:P Just before Cobra came on this really pushy girl was trying super hard to get in front of me and Flo Rida's Low came on so we were all dancing and she was really shoving, I was trying to stand my ground but this girl was like made of steel and i got pushed out, not before being accused of pinching her!?

Cobra Were amazing of course and I managed to enjoy it all this time (I went to the first date in Nottingham and passed out around the middle of their set) and they had all the extras that were in the Nottingham show, Ben and Gabe did the Soulja Boy, Gabe did Hollerback Boy, Pat came on in Bring it and Nate and Ben from Sing it Loud came on during Guilty Pleasure to do the dance which I had missed due to not being concious last time. Of course Ryland had his Pleasure Ryland part while Gabe changed too and they gabbled on for much longer tha last time but I'm not complaining. After I met up with Katie, we went to get my sing it loud t-shirt and Nate was there so we said hey adn he gave me a huge hug, got me a t-shirt in my size, signed my ticket, took pictures and we talkd for a bit. I told him I was going to warped in the summer and that he should do some high schools if they come for their own tour and he was like 'for sure!'. He's just the nicest guy I've ever met and he kept hugging me! We went over to give Ben his bracelet and I think it was a bit tight but he was super excited about it. He gave me a hug and we took some pictures and then went outside to find Pat and Kieren to give them their bracelets.

We waited for so long outside with like around 100 kids but no one was coming out, I think Cobra went into their bus and Pat and Kieren were no where to be found:( I got a picture with JP from Cash Cash and asked him to give them the bracelets and he said he would but I don't think they'll get it. Never mind, I had the best night and got to speak to Nate lots which is all I really wanted:P
