FIGHT ON!!

This past Sunday was the Emmy Awards and it was always held at the Shrine Auditorium, which is directly across from my school! It is actually one of the main reasons why I wanted to study at USC, there's always some award shows held over there like the American Music Awards and the Screen Actor's Guild Award. I was excited beacuse I can finally see lots of actors/actresses in just one location, plus I might be able to see Jennifer Garner or Mischa Barton.



So I invited Zyra to come with me and watch the red carpet arrivals. We were there at about 12 noon but the stars won't arrive 'til 3:30pm so we had a lot of time to kill. Good thing there wasn't that much people yet so we sat on the sidewalk across the red carpet entrance. We had a really good spot! Wrong!!!! After more than 3 hours of waiting under the blazing sun and when the limos started arriving, the LAPD made all of the people across the street move further down the road!!!! It was so frustrating because they made us move so far that we cannot recognize who were arriving!!! We can only see the color of their dresses but we don't know who was wearing it!! Good thing I brought my binoculars but the police were still blocking my view! And it also gave me a headache 'cos my arm wasn't still.



I saw Ellen 'cos she stepped-out of the venue when it was still early, when the police haven't made us move yet, since she was hosting the show. She didn't even arrive at the red carpet. I also saw Mischa Barton for like a couple of seconds and that was it. I can barely recognize her due to the distance!! It's even better on tv 'cos it's much closer! If only the police didn't make us move then it'll be more memorable!! Because we didn't really see the actors at the red carpet, we just watched the Emmys on tv at Zyra's place.



The next day (Monday) at school, I was so sleepy because I spent the night at Zyra's to watch the Emmys so I had to drive back early to avoid the traffic and to be on time for my 9:00 class. But my sleepiness disappered when I remembered that Keane would be performing at noon. Good thing I don't have a class during that time so I was able to go. I arrived early for the program and got a good spot, I was at the second row. The band was great but it was just a short acoustic set, 7 songs(it's a free concert, that's why!) Anyway, I didn't matter because they stayed for a while after playing and signed autographs. I was able to let them sign my CD jacket! It was so cool!!!
