New York City
New york, New york, New York. to say everything I want about this place in one post would turn extremely long winded haha. so i’ll start with the show in this one.
We drove from Boston to New York with the coolest bunch; Dani, Kyle and Shannon. Was lots of fun, even though we slept most of the way ;) thankyou for getting us there safety kyle :)
To site see a little we walked from our hostel to the venue - roughly an hour and 20min. was worth it, even in the heat, we fell inlove with NYC right away, our kind of place. The line was huge when we arrived at 4.30pm. We were lucky enough to get another meet and greet after Sass missed out on the one in Salt Lake (so thankyou Paramore management for allowing that!). Finally finally got to meet Catie, I was very excited about this, girl you are amazing, i almost cried when I left you that night, ill be back to new york for sure :)
so the MEET AND GREET:
The meet and greet was held in the actual GA area of the venue which was kind of cool. Catie, Renee and Myself were front of line. Paramore came out, catie talked to them about the PFC situation, for everyone wondering they didnt even know that email was sent out, Taylor send he found out by fans “being very upset online” (obviously though they knew about the changes) and said it does suck and they were still having meetings etc about it. We chatted to Hayley and Taylor first. Taylor asked if I was okay in Boston - The Night Before i was totally mangled and squished and he saw and i gestured to him like “help” and he mouth “what” but didnt getting just made an awkward face expression haha - so was nice he rememebered, I explained to him that my legs and arms were in a million different places and was being squished by multiple people. Hayley complimented my orange nails which was flattering. We chatted a little bit about the tour and taylor said it warms his heart every time he see’s us in the crowd (he gestured to his heart and made an adorable facial expression), but its funny he wonders why were are always separated, told him we both basically just bolt for barrier and end up where we end up. Hayley was SO stoked on Renee’s My Heart tattoo she took a photo of it :). Jeremy Hi fived me “hey girl, whats up, how has the travel been treating ya”. We chatted about how its weird that tours go so fast but seem slow at the same time, he totally got what I meant and said it is strange how much work goes into the stage production, set lists etc and then you wake up and its over (YEP TOTALLY get that). We talked about how I should be taking my vitamins every day haha Hayley also said the weather change is always a massive factor of them getting sick, we said toronto weather sucked, she agreed. She said we should like NYC the day after the show because it would be hot “yeah you guys would like that” (Guess being aussie and all… ;) haha). Jeremy also then complimented Renee’s tattoo, we then chatted to him about getting tattoo'ed, glad we arent the only one’s who hate getting white done, he said he cringes every time, yes Jeremy we do too :P Kim then came over to cutely move him along because he takes so long, she said she wished she brought her electric fly swatter because he is too chatty, haha she’s so lovely. We then had our photos done and headed to barrier. Because they were running behind schedule they opened the doors while paramore were finishing the meet and greet photos, it was hilarious they were RIGHT THERE but everyone coming in was so worried about barrier they totally were oblivious to the band standing right there. They then snuck out without anyone fan girling in their direction.
The show was insane. Just overall mad mosh pit, crowd surfing, energy onstage - all of it. By the way to that crazy (for lack of a better word), childish girl who ripped my hair our because it was in your face, Paramore says no.
Poor taylor also fell and tore ligaments in his ankle, trooper grossly popped it back in but looked like he was in pain the rest of the set. Beautiful Catie finally got her chance on stage with the band, along with Scottish fan Ross. Was amazing seeing them up there.
After the show a bunch of us when to Shake Shack for some food and hangs, was so great having a big group coming together because of paramore (PFC represent always <3 )! I miss New York the most because of these people - so THANKYOU from the bottom of my heart for making new york one of my favourite shows, I love you all.
Lozzie <3
