entry:

Ok so, every year I have said that I will never go to the BUZZ Bakesale unless they have KoRn...... and this year, they had KoRn. So my parents got me tickets to this as my replacement birthday present since my original birthday present was tickets to Ozzfest 2004 which was unfortunately cancelled by a hurricane. Let me tell you something boys and girls, this year's Bakesale probably wouldn't have compared to this year's Ozzfest, but it had my favorite band, KoRn, and so that was enough reason to go. Brian came over to my house, and then Jamie and her boyfriend Merick didn't take us until like 12:30 when the show started at like 10:00, so we missed a few crappy bands. We went to Wendy's first of course. The only good one we missed was one: but I've seen them eight times at THE KELSEY CLUB so it doesn't really matter. The show was broke the attendance record of all nine BUZZ Bakesale's. There were 20,000 people there. They did something really retarded though. They would have one band play on the second stage, and then one band play on the main stage, and it just went back and forth like that, until the four headlining bands play back to back at night on the main stage. I think they should have just done it like Ozzfest where they have all the second stage bands play on the second stage and then all the main stage bands play on the main stage. Doesn't that sound simple? But no, everyone has to run back and forth between the stages. So anyways, Brian waited at the front gate for Briana, while me, Jamie, and Merik went on in and caught the last few seconds of Lit on the main stage. Then we headed over to the second stage and watched Kottonmouth Kings. We found Jamie and Merik's friends: Jessie, John, & Kuran. They hung out with us for the rest of the show. I like the Kottonmouth Kings, but, in concert they're more of a joke than a band. This abnormally tall guy came out holding a champion belt in the air, like the do in wrestling, but it had the marijuana leaf on it, and everyone was like YAHHHH. Then they brought out these trees on stage with pot leaves on them. Then singers came out and everyone started smoking dope. There was a bunch of people crow surfing and being stupid, and it got really stupid. So, went over to the main stage and watched SkINdred play. I found Alicia and kissed her on the way. I saw Shauna on the way. SkINdred is really good, but, no one was doing anything in the audience. So, I was sitting with Jamie sitting in my lap, and she had Merik's head in her lap. Then we found Chris Golding and he hung out with us for the rest of the show. After SkINdred finished, we all head down the hill, down the stairs, and down the ramp, and down the path to the second stage so we could see thepreside ntsoftheun itedstates. On our way there, I found Chelsea and gave her a hug. Then I found Caitlin and gave her a hug. When we got over there, they were playing meow. Then they played old man on the back porch. Then they played lump. Then they played some postman. Then they finished it with peaches. After their set they were like "come see us in Seattle." It was really funny. They were so awesome. Then Jamie and Merik decided that they would stay at the second stage so they could get up fornt for MUSE. So, me and Chris went over to the main stage to see nonpoint. They were awesome, but once again, no one was doing anything. After they finished, we were too lazy to go over and see MUSE. So we went behind the bushes at the top of the hill and Chris hung out with Briana and Kelly and Kelly while I hung out with Chelsea and Caitlin while Heather and Andrew were sitting right there and they were strangely being nice to me that day. They were all smoking stuff. I could see the crowd going insane over at the second stage from where we were, and MUSE was sounding really fuckin good. So when MUSE was done we went down the hill and found Jamie and Merick. They looked like they had just been raped or something. They were all tired and their hair was all messed up ad they were aching all over and breathing heavy. They explained to us how everyone was going insane climbing over them. So I stayed with them at a table for a couple hours so they could rest up. I got a pizza that cost me 7 fucking dollars! Darkness fell when it was time for the headlining bands. Us three met back up with Chris, Jessie, John, & Kuran so we could go see SEVENDUST. On the way up the hill I found Dana and gave her a hug...... chills up my spine mother fucker haha. um... anyways.... We were up on the hill and SEVENDUST was fucking awesome. They had the singer of nonpoint on stage for one song. They were so fucking good though. None of us like theused so we hung out in the food area. Since I didn't give Jamie any present at her birthday party............. I stole a deftones shirt and gave it to her and she loved it so much. We went back onto the hill just to make fun of NEWFOUNDGLORY. We were all dancing and being retarded. Me and Merick kept pretending to have sex with Jamie. People started making bond fires. So I went and danced around it and everyone was laughing. Then the security people put it out. KoRn got on and they were fucking awesome. I don't remember what the order of the set was, but I remember they played blind, shoots and latters, Twist, A. D. I. D. A. S., FrEaK oN a LeAsH, GoT tHe LiFe, Dirty, HERE TO STAY, MAKE BELIEVE, DID MY TIME, Y'ALL WANNA SINGLE, ONE, Word Up, & Just Another Brick in the Wall. Everyone was singing all their songs and shit. I was all dancing and sining all their songs and shit. Wow. When it was over... me, Jamie, Merik, & Brian went to TACO BELL.
