My Stephen Kellogg/Hanson/Sex vacation in Oct
|
My Stephen Kellogg/Hanson/Sex vacation in Oct Back in October I went to Cleveland to see Hanson. I'll back up first and the Friday before after work I met 2 friends at a local place where a singer we like came to town to play. He's pretty cool, Stephen Kellogg.  This is the second time he's been here. I actually saw him when he opened for Hanson. He's one of the few opening acts I still follow. We've seen him enough (my friend moreso than me) that he recognizes us. The venue was really dark and horrible for pics though. So then I had a friend from WV actually come up the Sunday on the 11th with his little boy, took them to the Inclined Plane, we went out for dinner, then the next day he drove me to Pittsburgh where we were gonna have lunch at the Hard Rock before I had to meet up with my friend I was going to Cleveland with. But it was like a half hr wait time and we couldn't be late meeting my friend so we went to this seafood place, pretty good food. The ride up was really cramped. She has an SUV but with all our luggage and there were 6 of us, it was a horrible fit. 2 hour ride. She had taken her 2 daughters and her husband,then me and 1 of her friends. Her 2 daughters and husband were staying at a hotel while we camped out for the first show (it was a 2 night event). So when we dropped them at the hotel I met up with a guy that I had been talking to for quite awhile on here since he was nearby. We grabbed dinner and then went back to hang at his place. I was open to something happening but wasn't really expecting it since we didn't seem to connect much. Our few phones convos he made me laugh but we barely ever texted. I'm not really much for detail tonight but we ended up naked and first time with a new guy is always awkward for me but it was good. So then he dropped me off at the venue to meet up with my friends. It was friggin cold and I slept maybe 2 hrs all night. I should've ended up 2nd row but I'll get to that later. It was fun camping out besides the cold. Always make friends with other fans, we laugh, joke, it's a kinship. I haven't camped out in quite awhile actually. I used to a lot. There was a Starbucks open at 6 am so me and 2 others went to pee and grab some drinks. We sat in the warmth for awhile, talked, reminsced about past shows. The day passed in a blur. So we go in when doors open and long story short I got an asshole security guard who made me take almost everything out of my purse, made me end up 4th row instead of 2nd. I was soooo pissed. I wanted to punch him. I've had a bad experience at this venue before and this was its 2nd shot. I was so never coming back after this trip. The show was awesome as always. Paul McDonald was the opening act, he was pretty good. I met him after, he was really nice.  The first night was a covers setlist mainly. Twist and Shout Shake a Tail Feather I Want To Take You Higher Hold On Im Coming I’ve Got Soul You May Be Right Movin Out Voice in the Chorus God Only Knows Stand by Me This Time Around Me and Julio / Cecelia Penny and Me Georgia Dancing in the Street Signed Sealed Delivered Im Yours Chain of Fools Never Been To Spain Desire Kate Lost Without Each Other You Cant Stop Us High Voltage (ACDC) I Believe In A Thing Called Love I was videoing so much my arm was tired, but so worth it. There was an afterparty where Tay was djing after and they were serving mmmhops Hanson's beer. I actually got the last 1 the venue had. No joke. She literally said this is the last 1 we have. If I wouldn't have been alone maybe I would've had more fun. I sat and watch hanson on stage hyping the crowd while Tay djed. Would've been an awesome night club, hanson music, Tay djing, if there would've been single guys. But most of the guys there were there with their girls. So I had the guy pick me up after and I was staying at his place instead of camping out with my friends again. I didn't wanna be cold again. We had some more fun.  I was warm, on a couch not the ground. The next day I had a tiny wish that I would've camped so I would've been closer but I was ok. My camera is awesome and even in the back I got awesome pics and vids. Plus I was enjoying some drinks, got tipsy, which I never drink at Hanson shows. Hanson did their charity walk and someone got proposed to. Man lucky girl. Also during the day a girl I had seen at many shows and I walked over to a local mall to get warm and grab some lunch. It was weird how we saw each other a lot and yet was the first time we actually sat down and really got to know each other. Timing. Also the 2nd night the security guard was different and didnt do the same thing. Plus I had realized after the big stink of making me pretty much empty my bag and I had a little bag of female things inside my purse and that 1st night he made a big deal of that. Plus he was asking why I had a book and charger, etc. Because I was going straight to my friend's house not to the hotel. He had no right asking all that. Then he never passed the wand over me over checked my pockets. So the 2nd night when I saw the proper way they do it I asked to speak to the security manager. When he came down after the Opening act Carrick (from a band Everybody Else that had opened for Hanson back in 200  , I was calm and explained I felt like he singled me out. Especially when earlier in the day other fans were saying that same guy hadn't done to them what he did to me. I explained in detail what he did and his comments and how I felt he acted unprofessionally. The security manager was very apologetic and said he wished I'd have told him the night before cause he could've got me my spot back. But I never know with venues if they'll be dicks and help or if I'd have taken that chance and then lost even 4th row. He did get me a free drink and said he'd look at the camera. He had me describe the guy and which line I went through (there were 3). That he'd reprimand the guy. I think he did too cause after the show when I was waiting to get a pic with Carrick before I headed to the tour bus outside that security guard from the 1st night gave me a dirty look.   I perhaps will give that place another shot. I'm glad I talked to the security manager. I think the manager saw I wasn't nuts and just explained myself calmly. I said I understand security, I've been to many venues for many concerts all over the east coast and this has been almost the worst experience. I even said had 2 yrs prior I had a bad security experience then too and this was a 2nd chance only cause Hanson wasn't coming closer to me and it was a special tour. But that I felt that guy really just didn't follow proper procedures. He said it's not the first time he's had that happen with a staff member. Also now I know if this happens again to ask for the security manager on the spot. But also I don't think I'm gonna camp out at the place anymore, never seems to work for me. setlist for 2nd night Already Home Tearing It Down Look At You Minute Without You Thinking Of You Juliet Broken Angel Thinking Out Loud Been There Before Waiting For This Remember The Time I Want You Back Wheres The Love Love Me (Taylor solo) Hand In Hand (Isaac solo into full band) Thinking Bout Somethin MMMBop Get The Girl Back Man From Milwaukee Watch Over Me Fired Up In The City Roller Coaster Love / Whole Lotta Love again, I was videoing so much. Normally I only take maybe 3 vids a show but they were playing so many rare songs I was in heaven. You can check them out same name on the tube. After the 2nd show I went to find the tour bus, walked past the alley cause it's hidden, had to backtrack. Found it. hanson was taking pics but I couldn't get close enough so I talked to his guy hanson fan for like an hour and a half. No one who isn't a fan just doesn't understand that kinship we share. How we go on about our love and the little things we can mention and each other will get. Total strangers with someone epic in common. Afterwards the guy came and picked me up, I stayed with him again. One reason I wasn't staying in my friend's hotel is cause I'd have been sleeping on the floor cause there were too many of us and not enough beds. Couch is better and less crowded, just him and I. More naked fun that night. My friend actually ended up dropping my stuff at his house that was still in her SUV cause I stayed an extra day and he took me home a day later. I gave him gas$. Since then we've talked more and well I'll tell more later, but I'm gonna stop this here. It was a great trip overall except for jerkoff security guard on night 1. Just what my heart and soul needed.  I sent an Angel to watch over you last night, it returned in a hurry. I asked why, it said "Angels can't watch porn." Thanks for fucking traumatizing my fucking Angel! Don't bother trying to figure me out. Not even the little voices in my head understand me. It's pointless! |
