Lets talk about some Cobras

Sassyback Tour Part 1: featuring Cobra Starship, Forever the Sickest Kids, Sing it loud, and Hit the Lights.

This concert took place in Vancouver, BC. We felt like we were lost the entire way to the venue, because Canada is the most confusing place road wise EVER! Once we found where we needed to be, we decided we should refuel before the show. And when I say refuel I mean grab some drinks and nachos at a random bar (p.s. I got a parking ticket here, another reason I hate Canada). SO after getting a good buzz we headed back to the venue to claim our meet and greet. We waited for Matty Bro while chatting with some random girls in line, and watching all the opening band guys strolling past us back and forth. After about 2 hours we finally got patted down and led into a room where we would get to meet Cobra Starship. Well Gabe didn't show up, he has a cyst on his vocal cord and has been on vocal rest between shows, and shouldn't even be singing. We were disappointed but the rest of the band was super nice. Ryland is a giant, and loved my shirt, Nate had a sweet purple sharpie, Alex Suarez and me did a tug life pose (we saw him like everywhere in the three days he was in the same places as us) and Vicky-t was super sweet and loved Chrystles shirt. So we got barricade and were at stage left. Which was where Alex Suarez stands, but more on that later. I became a huge fan of Sing it loud that night, their songs are so catchy and happy. Plus Pat Brown gave me a hug, he is so nice. Hit the light was good, they played Body Bag and Speakers Blown which I love. But Forever the Sickest Kids really stole my heart that night. I had listened to them a little, but they are pretty incredible. When Cobras came out is when we really started to sweat. They have so much energy, and Gabe is an amazing dancer. They played all my favorites

"my boots need shinin' son!"

haha greatest line ever. After the show we made our way outside. We met Nate from Sing it loud, he is so nice we bought two Cd's from him, I thought he was going to have a heart attack he was so happy. We really wanted to catch up with FTSK but their bus was swarming with 16 year old girls, as was Cobras. So instead we met Dave from Hit the Lights and chatted for a while, as well as Omar from Hit the lights who was hella funny. We waited around and found it to be a lost cause to stick around and try to see Gabe and FTSK. So we called it a night and decided that we would catch them in Seattle in two days.


Sassyback Part 2: Featuring Cobra Starship, Forever the Sickest Kids, Sing it loud, and Hit the lights.


This was the most fun I have ever had at a concert, well that might be debatable but it was fricken rad. So we headed down early so we could go visit Kara, then headed off to get some food and set up our hotel stuff (we got a room cuz we had a concert the next night in Seattle). We got a call from Megan and Sarah saying the line was already around the building and it was only 2:30. It was a sold out show so it was kinda crazy. After an awkward Subway experience we walked to El Corezon to join our friends in line. After a three hour line wait and some funness with the peeps we finally began going inside. We set up in the back on the wall, because there is no bad place to stand at El Corezon, unless you are behind a pole lol. It was so packed in the club because it was tiny compared to other venues they had played at, but that made it way more fun. All the bands were amazing, and Cobras played The World has its Shine which they hadn't done two days before. It took us forever to get outside after with all the people that were crammed like sardines in that small space. Saw the fury on Sarah and mines adventure out. My and Chrystle were on a mission to Give Nate from Hit the light the Starbucks card we got for him for his birthday. Once we found him all by chance he was so grateful and gave us hugs and took pictures. We also got to talk to Ben Peterson of Sing it loud, and Vicky-t again. We also caught Jonathon Cook from FTSK right before he got back on the bus to leave, he might be the nicest person I have ever met, not counting Gabe Saporta. Whom we also got to meet agian. He was on vocal rest and couldn't talk, but was still super nice somehow. After a couple gangster pics we headed back to our hotel. A bum said happy halloween to us, and creeped us out on the very empty and dark street we had to travel. Once back we ordered a pzzia, chatted about everything that went down, and watched the Discovery Channel. Monster Quest is our new favorite s how lol. We went to bed about 2am and tryed tor est up for the next night of meyhem.
