so i just read that crazy thread about the kid who got on stage with nicki and managed to track down some very old photos and videos. does anyone want to hear my paramore story? (it is WILD)
setting the scene, this was october 2013. my best friend and i love paramore more than life itself. we’ve got tickets to their show and we are ELATED. one day, my friend is at my house and she starts SCREAMING. she’s just gotten a call that we won m&gs off of a radio contest.
we spend hours painting a fansign. we buy friendship bracelets for them because we’re 15 (i still have mine), and we embark on the journey of a lifetime. we are taking a boat to vancouver to meet pmore like the starry-eyed protagonists of a y/n x hayley williams tumblr imagine.
FINALLY, after years of dreaming of this moment, it happens: we meet paramore. i will spare you the details because, believe it or not, this is not the craziest part of this story. there are copious amounts of hugging and crying. hayley is as angelic as expected.
as we enter the pit, we have only one goal in mind. remember that this story takes place well before they renounced mizbiz for being anti-feminist. the pipe dream of every diehard paramore fan since the late ‘00s was to get picked for mizbiz.
basically, they would bring one person on stage to sing the bridge and then cut their mics. we used to rehearse it in our bedrooms (i’m a terrible singer but i tried). my friend grabs a sharpie off someone in the pit and writes “PICK US FOR MIZBIZ” on the back of our sign.
they come on stage. LOOK AT HAYLEY’S WRIST. they’re all wearing our friendship bracelets. we are sobbing hysterically.
suddenly, it happens. they’re going to pick someone from the audience. i have no idea who filmed this, but if you look in the left corner you can see my friend and i with our obnoxious sign.
after what feels like hours of screaming and waving our sharpie sign around like a desperate fangirl holy grail, we’re yanked over the barricade and i swear to god, i have VACATED MY BODY. tegan and sara are in the audience. WE ARE ON STAGE WITH PARAMORE IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS.
and here it is, the craziest moment of my life.
final notes on this thread:
- when i was in hospital all they let me have was my ipod and i listened to last hope 24/7. i told hayley and she hugged me for a solid minute and said she loved me.
- our mothers were in the audience crying the whole time.
- THEY NEVER CUT OUR MICS!!
