| This email says they followed me, but when I went on the app it said they didn't. I still don't know why. |

| I freaked out when they replied!
It all started with an email I got from Young The Giant. I saw that they were coming to my town for a tour. I asked my mom if I could go and she thought about it. The tickets to be in the pit were around $30. She told me to bring someone, but nobody I knew knew YTG. I tried asking some of my “friends” in high school. No. I tried my cousin. No. I’d rather go alone because it’s cheaper and easier. Then I started to research about what it was like to go to a concert alone. I finally got to do the jump to My Body in the pit like I saw all the time online when I watched them live, it was so fun!!! I am embarrassed though because I stepped on a person in front of me ugh!!! X( I didn’t like that some of the lights from the stage were in my face. I talked to two girls who were behind me about who was playing before YTG. I cringe ugh XP I recorded short videos because I wanted to experience it first. I still remember it four years later. Wow! I wore my gray YTG band t-shirt and, stupidly, I gave it away to a stranger for a band tee they were selling there. I miss it to this day! I WAS SO STUPID!!! I remember telling the stranger that it had toothpaste. I think it was mostly peer pressure. I thought that a tee shirt from the actual event was better than a $20-30 online shirt I saved money for. FUUUCK!! I can’t do anything now except enjoy the shirt I have now. Which I will put on now! :) I just kinda hate that it’s white… After the concert was over I went outside and I called my mom earlier to come pick me up. I saw some people walking towards the back of the arena and I was following to see if I could actually meet the guys. I WAS SUPER EXCITED!! I also bought a shirt from some guy selling them cheap, I think it was $3. I was hesitant, but then I bought it. I was waiting for a while and they came out! Only Francois, Eric, Sameer, Payam, but not Jake (Jacob). I heard Sameer tell another fan next to me say that he was taking a shower, which was weird to me. He probably took it on the tour bus. I remember the guy next to me asked Sameer about the song Every Little Thing, which is funny because I am listening to that song right now. Sameer is soooo tall! I think I got my picture with Sameer last. I stared at his shoes for so long wondering if he would notice if I was wearing the same ones he had on. But I was waaaay too shy during that time. I didn't meet Payam because my mom wanted to leave already. It was all so surreal to experience! I want to go another concert again!
