Sexy Dave, Lil Jess and Cadishead



HOLD UP, WAIT A MINUTE, PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN IT!

Fangs up guyzzzz! Fuck yeah, Cobra Starship last night. This is going to be my extremely boring, let's try and sum up most of what happened so it will bring back memories in 10 years blog.

Let's begin.

Woke up at 7:30, because I didn't need to be in till 9:15 on count of it being a friday. Had a mild panic attack, calmed myself a bit, then called Sammy, and she calmed me more. Got on the bus with Aimee and Ant... They made me laugh, and I got a bit more excited for COBRA NIGHT :]

Film, fun, ate toast in the mez. Sociology, which was actually pretty funny. After having 2 panic attacks about work and... stuff on thursday night, I actually managed to complete two essays. I was proper proud of myself. But yeah, then media, in which we did ... well pretty much fuck all. Me and Charlotte signed out and got ready, and off we went to the bus stop. Waited, excited, worried, bored.

Got off, went to Danny's, and realised we needed to print off details for travelodge. So trekked off to the library, where we got questions from other lazy people on why facebook wasn't working :'] We're teenagers, as if we'd know.

After that, I got a pasty, had a ciggie, and we made our way to picadilly station. I panicked a little, but got over it and tried to ignore it.
On the train we realised
1) That Charlotte would be an epic train ticket checker with her amazing balance
2) That I have terrible balance
3) My shoes hurt, and I have to sit down to change them
4) Some people have fucking ANNOYING accents when on the phone on the train
5) I'm scared of doors opening when on the train xD

Into Picadilly, checked that we could get to Guide Bridge, saw that we could and walked off with our heavy bags of clothes to Primarniiii to check out some shoes and bags for the night. I grabbed some black tights and Shirl got some plain black pumps and a bag to take to cobraaaaaaaa. Trekked BACK to the train station, bought tickets to Guide Bridge. Shitty train, listening to cobra, checking that we were on the right platform and going the right way.

When we got to Guide Bridge, we realised what a shithole it was. Seriously, it was ridiculous. We went the wrong way originally, then a legendary train ticket seller guy directed us to the correct way. Walked over motorways, past Argos, past Pets at Home FFS. We even saw Ikea. Eventually we got to the Travelodge; teh only good thing about the location was that we were THERE and there was a 24hr maccy's across the street.

Got to the travelodge... and we thought it was a joke. Seriously. We were at the wrong travelodge... we were in Ashton Under Lyne, and google maps had failed us. At first, the hotel guy had given us hope that he would transfer us, because the other hotel had been closed because of problems apparently. What problems, we don't know. So we had to get a taxi all the way to the other travelodge.

LEGEND TAXI DRIVER MUCH?! Amazing guy, playing rap music, repeating it and blasting it out of the speakers. He was talking to us about warrington, cobra starship and how he used to go to Mr. Smiths when he was younger. I couldn't even look at Charlotte, because I would have pissed myself laughing. xD

Got into the hotel, sorted ourselves and thanks to Charlotte, finally checked in. We liked our room, even though it was a bit small, and it had a brilliant location closer to Manchester. Obviously me and charlotte don't know much abut ogeography (even after doing it at GCSE)!

Got ourselves comfortable and changed ready for cobra... Charlotte directed Leannae and Mike over the phone, so they could get to the hotel. :] They got to us, we had a bit of a rave and showed them to their room. Got ready, makeupped and got a taxi to Manchester! Had some food from Maccy's and took some FUNNY romantic pictures using drinks and straws xD

Joined Georgie from our media in the queue, waited about half an hour and got let in. Epic times - Leanne knew all of the security guards xD Waited. And waited. And waited. Took my hoody off and put it around my waist like a holidaymaker in tenerife :'] Then finally, the futures came on. They were pretty decent actually, and Leanne knew them xD

Then a 15 minute break and a bit of Family Force 5, which are in that video up there ^^. They were pretty epic... they'd be better if their frontman could chill out a little bit, but his belt was amazing xD Love addict was SICK!

Then about a 45 minute wait, watching a topless drunk girl getting off with stranger girls. :/ So annoying.

But then. It was Cobra time. We frickin loved it. One person off barrier, skin to skin with everyone. Hot mess was SO GOOD live. It was fricking amazing. So was wet hot american summer, kiss my sass, guilty pleasure and a whole lot of others that I can't remember to list. Massive amount of raving. Me and Leanne singing to each other and predicting which song was going to come next, putting our fangs up! Last song was good girls go bad, and then we saw the carnage; everyone sweaty, loads of topless people, teenyboppers trying to reach for Gabe.

Out of the venue, grabbed our tickets and we met Leanne's make Kimmie, who was lovely. Went out to the pizza place around the corner, where I was moaning about my feet and making a lot of your mum jokes. Nicked some of Leanne's garlic bread with cheese pizza thing, which was lovely. And then we frickin waited outside the tour buses for cobra starship.

They didn't come out for a bit, so we went to sit on the bike racks. Where we saw some amazing scribblings on the walls with names; Sexy Dave, Lil Jess, Lee and Danny were among them. We decided that they were Leanne, Mike, Me and Charlotte respectively. We have the best names xD Then Kimmie informed us that sexy spanish man was over there... GABE!

We should have realised from the shocking crowd of fangirls around him, but still. xD We waited patiently for a bit, saw VickyT go into the tour bus, but then Kimmie and Charlotte noticed Ryland sneaking around the other tour bus. We ran to him, got pictures and got our tickets signed. He loved Mike's dangermouse hoodie, I reminded him that his sidekick was dangermouse. He informed us he didn't have a clue where Guy Ripley was... LIES!

We then went around the other side of the tour bus and saw Suarez going in and VickyT coming out. She looks as glamourous in real life as she does in the pictures :'] We got her to sign tickets and got pictures with her, then we swanned off to Suarez who came out next :'] He was talking about pissing on his phone and disinfecting his hands like mad after taking it out of the toilet, and got some pictures and tickets signed again.

Waited around for a bit and realised that Nate had come out of the tour bus; noone had even seen him go in! We ran over to him, and he was so quiet! We got our pictures and tickets, and he was lovely. Returned to our normal spot near the tourbus doors, where we waited patiently for Gabe. He came up to us and signed out tickets with our names, we got some lovely pictures with FUNNY poses and hugs. Leanne even sexy latino danced with him after he taught her how :'] He went to me 'Thanks for wearing our shirt'. I was like 'its okay.' :]







Such a lovely meet and greet, however unscheduled. Ended up back at the hotel at about 1am, when I got changed in PJ's, then got changed again into jeans so we could go the petrol station around the corner and get supplies. Leanne and Charlotte bought drinks (just soft ones) and we returned to the hotel, trying to get Mike to do the Alexandra Burke dance from Broken Heels and watching Leanne doing the Bad Romance dance, which we absolutely loved :]

Me and Charlotte went to our room, got to bed while leaving the music channel on. Ke$ha came on just before we slept, and COURSE I loved it. What an epic night.

Woke up a couple of times in the night, one time of which was when Bad Boys by Alexandra Burke came on :'] Lmfaoooooo!

The next morning, I nicked soap and a towel from the hostess trolley in the hall, and got some shampoo from the vending machine, which ended up as 2 for free :']Had our showers and packed up our stuff. Bye bye room. Bye bye other room.

To the bus stop, bus to Manchester, each of us laughing to ourselves of our memories from the night before. In picadilly, we walked to Shudehill so we could get the bus number 100 back to Warrington. It finally turned up after we had said goodbye to Kimmie at one o clock. 3 bus number 67's came in the time that we were waiting; all to fucking Cadishead. Where even is Cadishead?! We'd been waiting ages and I was starving! We ended up on that bus for almost 2 hours, but it was funny, reminiscing about Cobra and listening to some choons. We even saw the 67 twice, which made us laugh. 12 year old boys are annoying on the bus, but what could you expect after we found out they lived in Cadis-fucking-head?!

Leanne got off the bus, and that was the start to the end of an already brilliant weekend. Then we were in town, Charlotte got off and went into town and Mike and I went for a ciggie, talking about last night and laughing about what a brilliant night it was. Then my bus turned up and it was time to leave. I had time to think on the way home, gather all my memories up, and sick it all up onto this blog :] Its took me an hour and a half to write, while eating chilli and watching Take Me Out/All Star Mr and Mrs. If you've read, i'm proud. Tbh, you need that tl;dr warning at the top of the page. But it seriously was an amazing night. Here's a ticket picture :]
