if you're gonna ask me how was it, i didn't like this year's. the line-up were great. good bands playing but it was just the fact that i missed half of the bands that played. yeah, we came late and we left early and that was enough to bum me the fuck out.

i took guurreat pictures of gerard during the signing. i would've gone and cut the line but i was too much of a wimp. so my friend and i decided to chill in a spot close enough for us to carry a conversation with them.

( close encounter with the gerard and frank kind)

[break= other encounters...]

rhea looks likelike she's the hot girlfriend of those band boys. its hilarious.[/break]

frank, i love you. we can make little iero kids and paint their faces all scary and dumb looking. but despite of all that stupid face painting thing you do to land covers on magazines, i still love you.

this is a very late comic convention/coheed and cambria post.

the san diego comic convention was fun. not only did i get to attend the convention for free, i also got to see celebrities, natalie portman an coheed and cambria (not really a celebrity) being a few of them. how many storm troopers did i spot? TONS. but seriously, that's the place to go to if you wanna see people wearing costumes they should'nt really be wearing, oh but is was most defintely fun.

(THE coheed&cambria/claudio S.)

[break= coheed and cambria show @ SOMA]

as usual, claudio fucks up the lyrics for "Blood Red Summer" and to make the show not so good, the amplifiers hooked up kept on malfunctioning, so all you could hear are the regular sounds of the instruments and claudio singing without the mic on. at least we all know that he doesnt lip sync.

after the show we met mic, the bassist.

claudio got a new tattoo. if you can see clearly, there's a blonde girl that kinda looks like chondra. i thought they broke up!?!?[/break]

so on july 16th at the comic convention was the scheduled signing of claudio and wes abbott and my mom adviced me to bring claudio and i's picture back in warped for him to sign. i was kind of hesistant to ask him to sign it because he might think that i suck and that im such a loser.

the july 16th meeting went like this:

claudio: HEY!!
me to claudio (totally not paying attention to wes abbott): hey, you guys were soo awesome last night.
claudio: oh, why thank you. smiles, gives the book to wes, and i melt
me: thanks! =p

*after much contemplation, i finally decided to go ask him to sign my picture*

me to claudio: claudio, i know this is such a groupie thing to ask but can you please sign this picture? hands him the picture
claudio: looks at the picture for a moment oh, when was this?
me: oh that was last year at warped.
claudio: hey i actually don't look so bad in this picture.
me: *are you kidding me? you're fucking gorgeous!*
me: and that was also my mom's birthday. i ditched her birthday just to meet you. claudio flashes me a big freaking smile
me: claudio, can i get a hug?
claudio: OF COURSE!

the table was in between our two bodies which prohibited us to have a normal, hot, sexy, and steamy hug, thus my face being burried on his shoulder and a good amount of hair.

me: gee, your hair smells terrfic.
claudio bursts into laughter, including wes and the other crew.
me: thanks guys.
claudio: thank you.[/break]

i never really thought how expensive starbucks at the convention center was `till now. almost $6.00 for a venti caramel macchiato with extra caramel, while outside, it's 3 bucks and 90 freaking cents. i probably drank 3 ventis each day before those coheed/claudio meet and greets. i got ripped off.
