Deck the Hall Ball 2008 (Seattle)

[Aicebo]

I've wanted to go to this for a long time now, and my family just won a couple of free tickets on the radio!  We also get VIP passes.
I'm so excited to see Shiny Toy Guns preform. I've wanted to see them for a long time!
Is anyone else going?

Well, Aicebo,
sounds like i might be seeing you there.

I'll be in teal jeans, if you care.

BACKSTAGE PASSES!?!?!?!

NOT FAIR!!
god darn it.
i'm so insanely jealous of you. So insanely jealous. My head might explode.

w00t! It was awesome!

(Copied from my blog here :])

"I had VIP passes so I got to see Shiny Toy Guns do an acoustic performance and see Cold War Kids do a performance backstage. It was pwnsome, seriously. :] Thanks for the passes, 107.7!
Then the main performance was awesome too. Shiny Toy Guns was by far the best.
I went to the after party but not many people showed up and my mom wanted to leave by  the time it was 11:30. We were waiting over an hour for Jeremy Dawson to DJ but he never did. We were guessing he was waiting for more people, but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. :[ If he did preform I hope it was good.
Anyways, Deck the Hall Ball was an amazing party and show."

For those of you that missed the backstage acoustic performance of STG, here's a video that the guys from 107.7 took. When they're in the middle of the row you can barely see my grey and black striped hoodie shifting around a little bit, lol!

107.7 also got pics of the whole Deck the Hall Ball right here:

It was so amazing! I agree!! Here is a comment a sent to Alli, but it pretty much sums up my STG experiance.

OH MY GOSH!

IT WAS AMMMMAAAZZZINNGGGLLY MINDBLOWINGLY SPECTACULARLY FABULOUS!

I was so happy the entire time. They only played like seven or eight songs, since they were only one of the starting acts and not the main thing,
but it was so amazing. Sisley was incredible. And Chad was funny,along with wonderful..

Cept some guy in front of us kept spazzing during le disko. and we had to smash against the people behind us to keep from getting hit by his flailing limbs.

anyway. my pictures weren't very good because i was too busy jumping up and down and watching them.
so i stole some that the newspaper took.

It was just so amazingly happy!!

here are pictures from the newspaper i stole
