The Social - Orlando, FL - August 20, 2008
Click me!
**********************************************************************
SMOKE:
Da Show at Da SocialSpeechless. Pretty much sums it up. Fay was a little bitch. She kept raining on us and raining on us and by the time we actually got in the club, we were soaked. >_<
Oh well, oh well, oh well.
We actually got right next to the stage. EEEEK! The Social is a really tiny club but it was super cool. Very laid-back. Props to the Social.
Warship -
Warship was first. They rocked pretty meffin' hard. I was impressed for sure. Even more impressed when I found out the singer was actually the drummer for Reggie.
Who?
Next, there was some band called Leathermouth. Pffft. Who? Bwah! OMG! Not much that I can add to the review that FASC posted earlier. She pretty much said it all right there. Frank was Mr. Cool when he was setting their stuff up and I wanted to ask him, "WHY SO SERIOUS?" Those guys were awesome. Monsters, I Killed the President, Murder, Sunsets, 5th Period, Bodysnatchers and I'm pretty sure the one called Catch Me If You Can. Maybe another one. And that's in no particular order. Frank jumped feet first into the crowd. He almost spit on Solly. :) It was everything that I'd hoped it would be and more.
MC Chris -
MC Chris was next. That is one funny little dude. Really high-pitched voice and he had one really funny song about OnStar but yeah, I won't go into that. Bwah!
Reggie and the Full Effect -
OMG. James is sonofabitchin' hilarious. That is the funniest guy, I swear to God. Again, not much I can add to the other girl's review. And I can't really name all the songs because well, I just can't. By that time, I was rocking out hardcore and laughing my ass off. ^_^ We didn't know that Frank would be playing bass for Reggie and he ended up being right in front of us. I could have tied his shoelaces together. ^_~ I actually sat my camera and phone down right in front of his mic stand. And I gotta give that dude props. He made me all O_O watching him play the bass. Very impressive. That girl that wrote the review definitely had one thing right. The smile on Frank's face. He was having the best time. What he had on or how his hair was or whatever is not important to me, ya know? At one point, he sat down on the stage while James was doing his thing and he was laughing so hard. That was nice to see. I know he heard us laughing. Ummm, we were right there in his ear.
So anyhoo, I know I'll prolly remember much more stuff but I iz TIRED! The bottomline is if you have the chance to go see this show, GO! You will not be disappointed. I promise you that.
Oh yeah, and I got a squeezy hug from Frank! ^_^ He is so little but he made me feel so short. He was super sweet and very cool. I wouldn't have expected any different. I am just so thankful that I had the opportunity to experience last night. The show, the music, the people, meeting Frank, and meeting one of the sweetest people ever, Fimmy.
Frank Iero and James DeWees own a little piece of my soul now. Well, Frank already did but yeah.
FIMBLE STAR:
Apologies in advance because I am completely shit at writing any sort of review so this is my eyes :)
Well, first of all, I met two completely amazing people who are totally funny and sweet. Smoke sounds Australian and Solly tried to sound English for the entire trip, no lie they were really crazy lol. We arrived outside the social at 5:30pm and waited till 7pm for the doors to open. We were probable 20th in line and Smoke had a tree bleed on her. It was reddy/brown colour and it was EWWWWW. There was a woman in front of us and from behind she looked like Gerard Way with the black hair, so to me, he was in line that night :)
We entered the club and like Smoke said, it was small but not too small. We were to the left of the stage and we were right next to everything. In front of us, there were speakers that had a sticker on that read ‘REVENGE’ and the stage was tiny.
Warship was the first band and I couldn’t tell what the lyrics were but they were really good. There was a long haired dude playing his guitar in front of us and he was proper going for it.
Leathermouth was awesome and completely had the crowd going. So much energy and URMPH in their performance, all of the guys were great. Frank looked very serious and sad at the start when he came on stage; he came on and did what he had to do before he started his performance. He hung the flags up on the speakers and then placed his top gun style glasses on which reminded me of someone. He whipped his jacket off and then started jumping, rolling and screaming everywhere. It was crazy.
MC Chris was next and I wasn’t with the sisters at this point, I went to the bathroom and then went to sit at the bar with the guys. I couldn’t really see him but I could hear him and see that he had all the guys around me , jumping screaming and hugging me, so I suspect he was worth it hahaha.
REGGIE whoop whoop was flipping hilarious. I swear to god, he had every tom dick and harry in stitches. Smoke mentioned a lot about him but he made us laugh with his stylish outfit and his SLIPPERS, he wore slippers omg what a nutter but so sweet. He was telling us that he is a minister and that he married a couple last week, he was acting all proud and mighty hahahaha. By this time, I was back with the sisters and back at the front left of the stage. Frank and this tall dude were in front of us and they were rocking out, laughing and smiling. Frankie kept on spitting on the speaker and the tall dude made a joke with frank about how short the mic was for frank. When James made his jokes and wiped his nose and sweat on this girls arm, everyone was laughing and cheering and the girl was laughing herself. Madness, complete madness.
At the end, the crowd was invited to have a picture with James in a cubicle co we went to the back and saw James, so we talked and had a picture with him, I was the only one who got the picture and luckily I still have it :) then we saw frank and started to talk to him and had photos with him. He is really sweet and so nice, I mean he had just been sweating his socks off and screaming blue murder up on the stage but he still had time and the respect to come and see people. No diva fits and ‘omg I don’t do that kind of stuff’.
In total, I loved the show and also we got to speak to Jules on the way home, whilst smoke was travelling the WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE WAY STREET but hey, its all ok cos its O-Town baby. Oh and one more thing, Smoke nearly drove over the medium in the middle of the road and I thought we ran over someone, 0_0
Bedlam I swear but I loved it. Thank you sisters for making it a truly awesome experience.
SOLLY:
I can't add much more to what Smoke and Fimmy said. Imagine the most awesome show you can imagine. Okay, do you have it in your head? Well, now imagine it to be 10 times more awesome(r). That is really the only way to sum up the entire night.
I know that TJ, Elena, Anima, and the Punks, and a few other have managed to meet up outside BB and let me tell you that if you ever get the chance to meet up, do it. Or exchange phone numbers. Meeting up with Fimble Star was so fucking amazing. We had the best time together. I was so sad when it came time to say good-bye. Only 24 hours together, it hardly seems fair. She is everything that I knew she would be....beautiful, amazing, funny. She made our good time so much better just by sharing it with us. I hope we did the same for her.
The show...just OMG! Seriously. I feel so incredibly lucky to have been a part of last night. I got to stand in the front row with my sister and my newest bestest friend, fimmy, watch guys play their fucking hearts out, and do what they love to do. I jumped up and down, I head banged probably a little too much, I stared in awe, I air drummed, I screamed my little throat out, I threw fists in the air, and I laughed my ass off. Frank stage dived, James laid down on the crowd and they passed him around. I just knew I was going to end up with either a foot in my mouth or a guitar up side my head but it was well worth it.
The night went even more perfectly when I got to meet both James and Frank. Two of the nicest guys you will ever come across. I'll never forget James looking right at us and saying "wassup kiddies?" Or Frank standing off in the corner talking to some fans and us patiently waiting nervous as fuck and him kind of looking at us like, ummm are you guys gonna say anything? Totally approachable. Totally sincere. Totally appreciative. Totally huggable.
Perfect ending to a magical night.
It turns out that Fay was no match for Hurricane Reggie/Leathermouth Smoke Solly Fimmy.I just really hope those guys heard me say "thank you", because that's all I really wanted to say to them.If this show comes anywhere near your city, do yourself a favor, GO! Run to the venue! And don't forget to call up one of your BBers to go with you.You won't be disappointed.

I lost my heart to James Dewees on a Wednesday night in a little bitty club in Orlando, Florida.
James, thank you for being a part of one of the best shows I have ever had the privilege of attending. You rocked my face off.
