BAMBOOZLE!

[leberle]

I just got home from Bamboozle, you guys might have seen my picture of Bill signing autographs on Tokiohotelamerica.com :)

Ok, so I got to Bamboozle @ about 1 and hung out with my friiiends (who, funnily enough are in a band and actually got NOTICED by people it was awkward but we had to keep stopping every few minutes for them to get pictures and stuff) Hung around at different venues and such, sold some merch for the band that guestlisted me and then watched them perfooorm. They finished @ 5:20 so at about 5:25 I BOLTED over to the NowWhat.com stagee. I got half way thru the crowd by pushing and was AMAZED at how many people were there - I seriously thought they were waiting for another band.

Jost came out on stage a few times and girls went nuts. People were chanting for the guys and at about 5:30 you heard Bill talking but there must've been tech difficulties or something because he didn't come out. Thenn... at about 5:35 Gustav came out on stage. Everyone went banana sandwich. I was flipping out. They came out and did RSG then Bill said 'we have two more songs for you guys...' and something about being a band from Germany and they did Breakaway and then he introduced Monsoon. I think his hair looked shorter, but that might've just been me. He sounded GREAT. and Tom looked GORGEOUS he was vibing off the crowd and smiling so biiig. LOL.

Andreas was onstage taking pictures of them which was pretty cuuute. (Kiila told me it was him tho, I didn't know...)

Then it was over :( I was sad but my friend and I walked about half way across the parking lot before I turned and spotted Bill's hair. There were about 30 girls that started screaming and I bolted FASTER THAN I HAVE EVER RUN IN MY WHOLE LIFE over there. That's when I snapped the picture of Bill :) LOL. It was so amazing to get to see them up close/I guess meet (?) them again!!! :) I adooore them! Can't wait for the 9thhh.


P.S - this is the picture I was talking about that I was able to text to Tokio Hotel 24/7 about 15 seconds after I took it. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn215/TOKIOHOTEL247/0503081753.jpg

It came out sooo clear for being from a cell phone. I love it :)

Yeah, not too many people used TH24/7 buuut SO many people were using the cells in the crowd/in the area that it was takin FOREVER to send anything. My phone froze in the middle of sending a video and then it wouldn't send anything over 10 seconds long, so I was getting livid. That's why I only had 2 videos and that one picture of Bill signing. :( But still! It's such a brilliant picture, I don't mind!

Hopefully more people will use it for Virgin & Conan & TRL. If more people used it we could have better/more thorough updates. So I'm gonna bump the thread again and post everywhere, lol.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR CONAN! I want to rewear my outfit that I wore to Bamboozle because it was SO CUTE but it was a white shirt and they always tell you not to wear white on camera cos it reflects badly. So I wouldn't want my outfit to hinder me from getting close to Tommm!

[XxInyourNightmarexX]

That's awesome Lauren!
I'm glad you had a great time.

Do you know what sucks?
Do you know what f'ing sucks?
My mom told me that her friends from work were going to be security guards at Bamboozle. She gave me their cell phone numbers and told me not to call them unless there was an emergency (if I got lost, hurt, etc.) She added that they'd probably be in the front of the crowds, saving crowd surfers from falling and telling crazed fans to stop pushing against the metal gates that blocked the stage from the fans.
...
So a few days after Bamboozle, my mom called me from her job and she got one of her security guard friends on the phone. ... He was backstage with Tokio Hotel, talking to their security guard, before and after they performed.
...
I could. Have f'ing. Met Tokio Hotel. Formally. Not at a rushed signing, or seeing them perform. All I had to do was make that phone call and I could have been there.
...
Please tell me they're performing at Bamboozle next year.

[qweenb717]

Bamboozle was fuggin great...their performance really made me a fan..especially when they performed break away..I def heard of them b4 and one of my friends is a fanatic but I slept on them for a while and decided against checking out their music whenever I heard about them..dumb me..but w/e cus I'm def a fan now...I figure the performance was so good b/c it was their 1st since bill's surgery *which I didn't kno at the time* and they were just so into it..their performance was CRAZY, I loved it

http://Bill-Bamboozle2008.jpeg http://Tom-Bamboozle2008 http://Georg-Bamboozle2008<--- hopefully that worked. I was at bamboozle also and they were amazing! They lookd and sounded awesome and it was the best day ever basically. I drove 12 hours total to be there and it cost me over $400, but I wouldn't take any of it back for anything. They were great live and I love them all! <3
