I doubt anyone wants to read this but I was just thinking about all the times I've missed concerts and ended up having everything remind me of what I missed and hates everyone who went, so if you've ever been in that situation feel free to comment.
Last year MCR, ATL, Foo Fighters and Cherri Bomb played at Oxygen and for someone under 18 there's nothing worse than all you're favourite bands playing in the exact same place and you can't go. So then I was talking about how amazing the Oxygen lineup was that year with this girl at Irish collage and she said she goes ever year and I was like "but you're 14", turns out if you're under 18 you can go for one day and then leave. MCR and Cherri Bomb were playing on the same day so I was gonna beg my parents to leave me go until they decided to call me and tell me they booked our holiday on the day they were playing. Out of every fucking day in July they had to pick that day to go! And of course in the car on the way to the airport the ad for Oxygen just had to come on and then Bulletproof Heart, I know I was lucky to go on holidays and all but come on? I'd rather see my favourite band live, espicially since I missed MCR the last time. So I was like "I hate everyone in the country right now" but don't we all feel like that when we can't go to concerts.
Then I get to Lanzorete and the place looks like the desert in the Na Na Na video. When I got to the hotel I went on one of those computers that you pay for. Now this is just plain creepy, I was on this and had a picture of MCR up, I look to the left and see a fro. So obviously the first thing that popped into my head was "Holy fuck is that Ray!" but Ray was in the country the one time I wasn't so it clearly wasn't. But then I was thinking "MCR left Ray behind before, maybe just maybe he got on the wrong plane and ended up here!" (It's possible right? )so I was leading back on the chair like "Please be Ray" and then the guy turned around and gave me a WTF look. It was so awkward for the next two weeks whenever I passed him in the hotel.
Then belive it or not I saw a Gerard lookalike with a Lindsey lookalike. I know it sounds impossible but I swear I'm not making it up. It was a few days later and I was outside this restaurant and just saw a flash of red hair. And you guessed it this dude looked just like Gerard, he was really far away though and was wearing sunglasses but his hair and the way he dressed was the exact same, I could kinda see his face and he did look like him. And even weirder, the girl he was with had red hair too, remember when Gerard and Lindsey both had red hair at the same time but different shades? Her's was just like Lindsey's. So I was staring at them trying to see if it really was them and at one point I almost ran over and gave the Gee lookalike a hug until my dad caught me staring at them. Unless Lindsey's tattoo's all magically dissapeard then there was no way it was them.
I know it sounds pretty unlikely but I think God was rubbing it in my face that I'd missed seeing MCR live twice in one year. And my parents always book holidays when concerts are on, like this year Struck are doing a free show in town and trust me in a few years time they'll be huge and again we'll be on holidays. We're staying in the country this year, and again I know I'm lucky to get to go somewhere but why is it always when I want to go to a show!
This is super long so thank you if you bothered to read it, or skim it, and hopefully I didn't bore anyone. But have you guys ever had something like that happen to you?
