Wtf happened at Riot?

okay so. i’m not the best person to ask because i didn’t see any of that happening!! personally, i’m not the one you’re gonna see at barricade or in the pit, it’s just not for me! during tbs, we started to try to make it into the mcr crowd, but when i tell you, there was a NOTABLE shift in the air, it was like a fucking wall of hot hot humidity and pack so tight it felt like if you tried to make it in, there’d be zero way of getting out, we said fuck it, nope. there were two stages right next to each other that shared the big screen, the roots and riot stage, and mcr was at riot. we were on the roots side up against the barrier for the vip viewing area, which ended up being really chill! we had a good crowd around us, like seriously such delightful fans, and about halfway through mcr the security team for the vip area started handing out water to us and checking up on us. there was a moment on the other side of the vip area where someone had passed out and it seemed like security was having a hard time getting them over the barrier/getting to them and it did take a bit for enough people to get over to them to carry them out of the crowd and that was pretty scary, but everyone around them seemed to be trying to help them out and flag as much security as they could and to clear a path. personally i had a great time and i cried my eyes out and screamed my face off and spent all of today recovering. i think probably the worst experience i had all day was the merch line where i got royally fucked, after spending 3 hours in an ill-organized line (if you could call it that), that was hideously understaffed, and where people were shoving their way into the line and cutting, like i know a few people almost got into it around me because some were just shoving their way in. all the artist merch was in the same tent, and again, zero lines, manned by one staff member per merch table, each having to grab merch for and check out 4-6 people at a time. i was literally two people from making it to the table when they sold out of dunes shirts and i was like cool fuck it i’m gonna leave and not waste my opportunity to see other artists i wanna see! i have two other shows in la, so i’ll grab merch then, no big loss. but all in all i had the time of my life, dunes was great, mcr changed my life, and i have felt so full of love all day.

#i will also say i was in pretty severe pain throughout the day because i slept wonky a couple nights before we left #and my neck like just DID NOT recover in time #plus 9 hours in airports and planes on thursday which did not help #but yeah i thought the crowd was gonna give me a way harsher time and most everyone was super respectful of my space!!! #also has anyone talked about jamia at the dunes set yet or #i was staring at her like that’s my fucking wife #there she fucking is #my wife #mcr #my chemical romance #anon #my show #ask
