I have already done a Merch Post but after going to my concert, I have a few updates.
I didn't see any gift bags, but I know they did sell a drum head with drumsticks.
I also didn't see the necklace, bag or sweat pants. I don't know if it's cause they didn't bring it all up to Canada, or if I am just blind...
Also, their Poster was sold out, so if you really want a certain piece of merch, get it at the beginning.
They're also selling Fashionably Late.

The Trace
I know many of us see openers that we don't know, go to google, and type in their name. When you type in The Trace, you get nothing to do with the band. I wanted to give you guys some info, cause after yesterday, I really love them! They're awesome!
You can go to their website by clicking HERE.
Goo check them out on facebook, twitter and youtube.
At the concert, talk to them. They love talking with the people outside. Also, their EP is $5 for 4 songs. They are such a small band, but so sweet and genuine! The money will definitely help them, cause as they said to us, while eating ramen noodles, "There's a reason Fueled by Ramen is called that" (even though it isn't their label, they were talking about not making a lot of money). And honestly, bring a lunch to school instead of buying lunch, and your EP will be paid for.
I said this in my last post, but even if their music sucked, I would have bought their EP, cause they were really sweet guys, and totally not douchebags.
They were by far the best opener and I honestly can't wait for them to come back soon, really soon!

Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
This was the show I went to last night, and let me just tell you, it was CRAZY!
I got to the show around 8:30am. I had friends a few places in line, so I was running back and forth. All kinds of girls decided to butt in line, so I went to the FRONT with my friend and stayed there. Honor Society showed up, and came out. They hugged EVERY FAN! Alex got a kick out of my Gayne Wetsky Bracelet. Andy was telling me that he wanted to go to get coffee, but they have to find a place. Everyone heard me telling him that there was a Van Houte right around the corner, and I explained how to get there, so almost ALL the fans ran after them. CREEPY! I chose to not go because it's a little creepy wanted to get coffee, and having 30 girls running after you. BUT I did get a picture with Andy :D
Every time they went outside, which seems to be often, they'd always talk to us, probably because we were RIGHT beside the door, legit front. Alex even tried warming us up by rubbing our arms. WHAT?!
And can I just say, the Trace is AWESOME! They came out looking for my friend, while she was gone, so we spoke until I found her again, and they loved her. But every time they came outside, no matter which one of the 5 of us (we became 5) was there, they's talk to us. And at one point, they came out with camera and one of them said "OH CANADA!" so we instinctually sand the next line, and the fans were thinking we were crazy, until they saw a camera and started screaming.
Aaron Camper just walked by, and Sunderland, they'd say stuff, but they'd run down the stairs, belting out songs. It was quite entertaining.
Doors FINALLY opened at 7 pm, after sitting through rain/snow, and freezing. I was third in, and ran right to merch, and got A Tale of Risky Business, the first! AHH! And Mary took SO long to get my M&G bracelet on, and she knew I had friends in the front, so she gave me a new one and was like "GO!" My friends were FIRST row, and I had a spot saved, so I was front and centre. Pretty much, if a band member stepped forward, I had crotch in my face.
Aaron Camper was first on, and he smelt SO GOOD! I honestly don't know if all the songs were his (he obviously did one cover) but he was the right person to go first. He really pumped us up and had us all going wild. And he had an Honor Society T-shirt on (the new one) which gave him extra brownie points.
Sunderland came on, and I didn't really hear their voices, so it was meh. BUT, they had a ginger, which made it better.
The Trace came on, and they were AMAZING! I don't think I've every heard a version of Pumped Up Kicks better than theirs. In all honesty, I would have bought their CD even if they sucked, just cause they were great guys and deserved my $5, but I was excited to get their CD at the end. And the lead singer, he is a performer. He knows to sing at you (which happened to me and many other girls), which makes nights.
Then, of course, Honor Society. They were INSANE! They did two songs, and then took a break to talk to the crowd, and when they did, we went WILD! They wanted to talk, but didn't. They just stood, there, with big goofy grins excited and happy.
I had Mike IN MY FACE. At one point, I couldn't clap or I would've hit him. They were AWESOME! I don't know what else to say!
Aaron Camper came on for Wherever You Are, which was HOT! And Mike sang at me for Over You, and really sang with me for See U In The Dark, he sand like almost a full verse messing with me making faces :D
The show ended, and Zach gave me Alex's setlist :D I was SO EXCITED!
M&G was CRAZY! They gave hugs, and were awesome, and I had a few words with Jay, while Alex tried to listen HAHA. I then got the new HS sweater. It's really comfy :D
I went outside and didn't want to wait for them cause I was feeling so nauseous, so I just hung out with a few people until my dad got there.
In the end, the night was the best night and concert ever! I can't wait for them to come back, but I don't want them to, cause I don't know how they can top last night!
It wasn't only Honor Society, but my friends. Thanks to Brittany, SaraH, Matthew, Heather, the two cousin's behind me and the drunk guys (haha NOT) for making it an awesome night!

Advice for Concert Go-ers... Honor Society or not.
DO NOT ACT CRAZY!
Obviously this applies to Honor Society, but it will also work for any other concert you ever go to for the rest of your life.
Don't
Obviously this applies to Honor Society, but it will also work for any other concert you ever go to for the rest of your life.
Don't
- Cry. It may be flattering for the band, but when you full out bawl, it's ugly and a little weird.
- Fangirl. This means freaking out over every little thing.
- Act like you are in a relationship with the band or a band member. It is ok to joke around with your friends, but do NOT act like you have a little something something with them.
- Spend the whole time taking pictures. It is amazing to just party and not worry about pictures.
- Start fights. The worst people are the ones in line or at the concert who pick fights with people.
- Be on your phone the whole time.
- Make signs. Actually, it's ok to make a sign, but don't put it up during the concert. You will always be blocking someone.
- Don't belt out every single song. I came to see them, not you.
Do
- Have fun. Dance, sing, party, whatever. When you are having fun, trust me, the band notices.
- Talk to other fans. They are there for the same reason that you are, so you already know that you have at least one thing in common. And who knows, you might make some awesome new friends.
- Sing along, but only when it is time to sing along.
Anyways, have fun at any concert you go to, just try to not be obnoxious.

Spread The Love.
A little it of a side note from the tour, but still related.
Honor Society has a song called Spread The Love, which is a Christmas song, but I feel that without the Christmas aspects, such as the bells, it could be a normal song.
Working with the Salvation Army this tour, they shot the video with the Salvation Army, showing them "spreading the love" and getting others, who are pretty much fans, to also help.
I love them, and I like the concept of the video, but at the same time, I don't. I feel like it is made to look realistic, but it is VERY obvious that all the people in the video are fans. What guy goes on the street to get donations and give out red hearts, and the only people he comes across are young girls? They're fans, I even recognize some of them.
I also don't like how it ends with a kiss. I don't like that stuff, and it's really cheesy.
These are just my opinions, but if you haven't already seen it, you can judge for yourself.

Atlanta, GA.
November 27, 2011, Honor Society was playing at The Five Spot last night. My friend Brittany Kearney was at the concert, so she filled me in, cause we're friends, but I have the OK to use it on here.
The venue help maybe 150 people (she's approximating) and had a bar, and open floor and a stage at the end.
I have been told that both Aaron Camper and Sunderland are pretty great, especially Aaron Camper, he is really nice and amazing to talk to, so if you'll be seeing him, make sure to go have a few words with him. Side Note: Mike Bruno was on the side of the stage with the other guys, and he was looking out into the crowd.
Now on to Honor Society. The suits came out again. Mike introduced Gentleman After Dark by saying "The next song is a little bit, adult swim."
Meet and Greet time. They are officially hugging. Hugs for all. They spoke a bit about Brittany's tattoo (Unpredictable lyrics) and had a few words. Let me just say, they are AMAZING.
After M&G, the guys were just hanging out having a few drinks, and talking to fans. They have a video of Andy singing the $5 foot long Subway song, so if I get a link, I'll post it up here. Jay gave Brittany and her friends guitar picks when they were leaving.
When Brittany was talking to Mike, she, and I quote,"DANCED WITH MICHAEL FUCKING BRUNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Overall, she says that it was a crazy and amazing time with those wonderful guys!

Allison Beaumont went to last night's concert and was kind enough to give me a bit of an update.
"When they came out on stage in thier suits the audience went crazy. They sang my favorite song off thier new CD, Hurricane. After the concert was over, Alex threw his drumstick into the audience and I caught it. Meet and Greet was a picture meet and greet so me and my mom took a picture with them and Alex also signed his drumstick for me. It was an amazing night."

Sabrina Lynn also went last night, and she told me to my eyes out for Gentleman After Dark, because it gets wild. She also said that she got there at 6:30 am, and that people started showing up at 8:00 am, but keep in mind, it started at 4 pm, so people had to get there a bit earlier. She was lucky enough to get two picks (Andy and Jay's). She rocked out during the concert, and Alex said he recognized her. Point being, just have fun, don't worry about looking like a fool, and who knows, you might get their attention!

Find You In The Dark
See U In The Dark
Go check out MuchLove4HS on YouTube, who posted these videos along with a few others.
My opinion. It looks amazing. These great pictures and videos make me so excited for my concert. I like the suits idea, but I wish the suits weren't so matchy-matchy. They say they hate being compared to boybands, but it reminds me of a boyband. Other than that, I can't wait!

A Tale of Risky Business... Part 1.

| Credit to Kat Gilbride |
There will only be FIVE available each night, so if you want your copy, get it quick! And, it's only $10!
Just an update for Meet and Greets, it has confirmed that there are two ways to win meet and greets.
1. Be one of the first people to check in on Flowd. The first five people get a Meet and Greet.
2. Buy merch. Any piece of merch will get you a wristband for a Meet and Greet.
I know people have been wondering if it is just a signing or pictures, but Kat has confirmed to me that it will be pictures, like the old fanclub meet and greets.
I don't know about the merch yet, but I know it's usually between $10 and $50 (max). You can get the CD, or the See U In The Dark bag (if they are still selling them).
We all have a chance to meet them, so get your merch and have fun!
