I love browsing his photos, musics, and videos. One day, a promotor from Indonesia named "Java Musikindo" started to mention their band name on twitter. I was very excited and I started to listen his songs more often. Until Java Musikindo confirmed that ATL will be playing in Jakarta on August 4. I was like "Omg.. Omg.. Oh shit, this is happening". I bought their presale ticket while the concert was still 3/4 months away. God bless. This is their concert's poster:
The day I've been waiting for was finally there. I skipped school that day. I went to the hotel where they stayed, then I met their sound guy, Evan Kirkendall. I asked him "Where's Alex?" and he said "He's sleeping". Right, I waited.. Waited.. And waited for hours but he still didn't showed up. I went through something that I haven't done before. I was getting crazy and wild. Luckily I met Zack when he about tp grabbed his breakfast, but I wasn't able to take a pic or something. Terrible. It's 1 pm already, I gave up, I was like "This is shit, enough already" I went straight to the venue. I feel bad but that's it. The concert has started, I couldn't say a word when Alex walk on stage and say what's up. He changed my bad mood to a best feeling in the whole wide world. Suddenly, I screamed OUT LOUD. And I sang along, jumping around until I can't feel my feet & voiceless. That was the best night of my life. All I can do was smiling around. Anyway, before he stepped to the stage, he tweeted this (August 4):
The next day, I went to school. I didn't really studying that day, all I thought about is Alex Alex and Alex. Then I realized that they'll left that day. Then I determined to follow him to the airport, ALONE. I don't care what I did, and what everyone said. There, I met Yashya, Michelle, and Olivia. But Yashya had to go, so she left. There's still me, Michelle, and Olivia. We waited for hours but they still didn't showed up. There was also a rumor said that ATL has left Jakarta already. I almost gave up that day, but no. Wait! While we waited at the airport, Alex tweeted this (August 5):
Suddenly...... Their crews were arrived. And omg! I saw a white alphard, I followed that car, and shit! I saw them, I saw Alex! Then I went inside, but it wasn't possible for us to take a pics. So me, Michelle, and Olivia went inside the check in room. Finally, I took some pictures with them. I was one of around 8 lucky girls that day. Besides, people who followed them that day was around 30. Can you imagine? That's terrible. But thank god I made it. I went back home at 6 and all I did in car was smiling, smiling, smiling.
These are pictures we took:
The 1st one is Rian Dawson, ATL's drummer.
The 2nd one is Zachary Merrick, ATL's bassist.
The 3rd one goes to Jack Barakat, ATL's guitarist.
And last but not least, this is ALEX GASKARTH, ATL's guitarist and vocalist.
God, I am so grateful for this. Thank you for letting this happened to me. Now I know that nothing's impossible, as long as we try to. Thank you Alex, Jack, Zack, Rian. You guys made my week, even my month, year. Hope to see you soon. And yeah Alex, I rest assured that there will be a next time. So, see you next time guys! I won't forget you all.
This. Is. A. Dream. Come. True.
Much love,
Deandra
