Liz From St. Louis

Daydreaming at work about my favorite childhood things, I couldn’t help but remember Miss Piggy bubble bath. Along with my Minnie Mouse tights, it was a must have for young Liz, the diva extraordinaire.

I could really go for pink bananas. I still remember that scent as strongly as that of my Tinkerbelle makeup from JC Penney.

Also, can I have this cake please? If it was a pink banana flavored cake it would absolutely kill me. I should try making one, what a fab idea! The 24th birthday cake will be Piggy Pink Banana Bubble Bath cake. You all want to come to my part now, don’t you? Haha.

That was a nice little break, but I’m afraid it’s back to work with me. I’m planning on updating my site and intergrating the blog better with it. Yet, reading Twilight and sleeping copious amounts have taken preference here lately.

So, I was at Warped Tour for 8 hours today.
& while I got a lot of good photos (hello walking around with The Academy Is, bumping into Andrew McMahon and talking to Kevin Lyman) I think the following are pretty much priceless.

Gym Class Heroes were the last band to play of the day, 8pm set time. And at the end of the second song, a kid in the crowd starting calling out to Travis that he was an “ignorant nigger.” Travis asked him to repeat what he had said and the kid did. Travis then asked him to come forward, I took a photo of the kid and then he hopped up over the barricade where Travis held a hand out to pull him onstage. I didn’t know what was coming, figuring he’d just pull the kid onstage and tell him the N-word wasn’t a cool thing to say, but no…

Right as Travis reached out for the kid, they both started with the fists. Travis was using his microphone as well, which busted into pieces (another photog grabbed the pieces and kept them) and security swarmed trying to break up the fight. I was standing there completely stunned and taking photos. I still can’t believe that went down, but you know what? That kid shouldn’t go around saying things like that.

After the next song, the 3rd of the set, I left the photo area and saw a few of the security guys standing around talking to the police while medics were going back towards first aid, which was near the stage GCH was performing on. Rumor has it that Travis was arrested.

Several places have used my photos with this story, peep them:

1. AP Magazine
2. Buzznet

In other news, Katy Perry is fantastic live and I wish I could have her fashion sense and the body to be able to dress that way.
