Monday was the day for Alkaline Trio - no support just the trio a super small venue and my best pard!
We went into Croydon in the day to buy some clothes I was hoping to get something nice for the gig but ended up buying loads of shit I didnt need hahah

We were a little behind schedule but I managed to get myself looking how I wanted and Meg got there too in the end. I was drinking 7.5% cider (Blllllueeeck) but it made me a little bit tipsy on the tube! Here we are setting out!


This gig itself was a little surreal, I was pissed off there were touts selling tickets considering it sold out in like 4 minutes and I just thought you wouldnt go!!
I also felt really weirded out being surrounded by people who love Alk3 as much as I do, I'm not used to people liking what I'm into, mainly because of how I grew up and where I grew up, but it made me feel weird to be with people when the night was very close to my heart!
We got a mega good view on like a raised platform but some bint (who wasnt moving, singing or dancing to any of the songs) had a go at me for spilling my drink on her... I was thrusting the arm a bit much but heck what did she expect - I gave her some attitude back and then missioned it to the front!
The following photos are pretty shit because they were taken with my phone. I'm putting them up to show how close/how small it was in there.
At one point I was feeling it alot and was adament I was going to crowd surf.... (Er why??) but I couldnt get up and all of a sudden I was pushed here and there and found myself on the very front row!!! I was super happy!



Here are some of Pards photos -


After the gig we didnt hang around because I'd spent too much money shopping (oops) so we went back to Vinnies and for the first time in years I got stoned... I dont really know why but I felt like it was an experience! Won't be doing it again any time soon but it was funny to feel the way I used to when I was in my youth!
