Hello, everyone!!!! How are you doing?
I'm very happy right now because I had a great time at Panic at the Disco concert last Sunday. And I just wanna talk about it in this journal.
Well, as you know, Panic at the Disco held a concert at Tennis Indoor Senayan, Jakarta, Indonesia on August 17th 2008. I definitely watched it. I love the band since they released their first album about two years ago and I've been waiting to see their concert. I bought the ticket about two months before the concert:p
On Saturday night, a day before the concert, me and my friends (Sindi and Ririn) went to the hotel where the band stay. I waited for anyone from the band, especially Ryan and Brendon. I waited until about midnight but there was still no sign of them. Then, we decided to go home. When we walk at the stair to the parking area, we saw the bodyguard from Java (the music promotor in Indonesia) walked out from the bar at hotel. And right before him, it was Spencer Smith!!! We were speechless! We were just saying, "Hi, Spencer..." and saw him walked away... But, fortunately, my friend, Ririn, said "Can I ask your autograph?" Spencer stop walking and said, "Yeah, sure!" We took the poster, pen, and CD booklet from our bags. And Spencer said, "Wow! You're prepared". After he signs the poster and CD booklets, we ask him to take a photo with us. But DAMN!!!! Ririn's camera was run out of battery...and we didn't remember that we can take a picture with camera on cellphone. Stupid! Before he go, Spencer asked, "Are you going to our show tomorrow?" YES!!! of course, Spencer! Definitely!
He's really nice.... He was wearing black (or maybe dark blue... I forgot) shirt and vest... And he's really charming... :XD:
After met Spencer, we decided to stay at the hotel. Unfortunately, we waited until about 2 am but we met no one from the band :(
The next day, we went to the hotel again in the morning but we didn't met them. Then, we go to the concert place after lunch (still eight hours before the concert lol). There were already some teenage girls. I watched the concert with four friends of mine (Sindi, Fita, Reri, and Ririn). When they came in to the stage, Spencer and the keyboardist (additional player, I don't remember the name) brought Indonesia flag because it was Indonesia Independence day. And Brendon said, "Happy Independence Day!".
Before the concert begin, I made a poster for Brendon and put my Brendon portrait drawing there. The only thing in my mind was I had to stand in front line, had a good view of Ryan and Brendon, and show the poster. And I made it! I was in front line, right in front of Ryan Ross!!! I can see him clearly. I was really happy! I showed the poster to the band. I guess Brendon saw it once and he smiled. But, Ryan saw it several times and he smiled tooooo~ Even, my friend said that Ryan pointed at my poster :XD: In the middle of the concert, Ryan threw his guitar pick to my direction. But, he threw it too weak and the pick fell in front of my feet. I can't take it because there's some kind of fence in front of me. But, the bodyguard from Java took it from the floor and he gave it to me! Oh My God!! I got it!!! I got Ryan Ross' guitar pick!!!!
It was really a great night! Probably one of the greatest night in my life! :) They sang 17 songs in the concert. Ryan Ross is thousands times more handsome than in photos or videos! He's really charming and dashing!!! I love him :XD:
Brendon said the concert will be on TV in two weeks. Of course I will watch it again :D
