The day started with meeting one of my best friends Nora at the train in to norways cappital; Oslo (I live 20 mins away, don't know if anyone remember) Well, a friend of Nora was there too, Camilla, but she isn't an Ev fan, she just likes the music. When we arrived Oslo we took the subway to Majorstuen and walked five minutes to the entrence of the Frogner Park. (that's where the festival is, in the middle of the city) There Eli, Eirin and Torhild was waitin for us. (I met Eli, Eirin and Torhild for the first time the day before, at the same festival, where we watched Tori Amos <3 anyway. i thiiink Eli was a member here before. Elifant or something was her nick. can't remember. but anyway) the clock was around 12 at the middle of the day. Here we just sat and talked and waited for the doors to open.
Since we sat just besides a road, we thought like; HEY, Evanescences tourbus will drive through here (since the road was that kind of road that stops at the end, lol. i mean. you can only drive in from one side. so they had to drive there to come to the backstage era) So every bus that drove(sp?) past us we were like: IS THAT EV? IS IT? OMG. but most of the busses were just old people on sightsing(sp?) or japanese ppl on sightsing. and they were all looking wierd at us, since we was like focusing on them xD all of us. haha... after a while more ppl started to come. not that many. since it was still a looong time till the doors opened. as we were sitting there, suddently a black buss drove at the road, and Eirin scream: OMG OMG IT'S RICHARD!!! (and she jumped into the fence(sp?) all of excitment. and then all of us were like: OMG OMG IT'S RICHARD... AND BETH TOO!!
then we said: sahll we run after it? i run. no i run. we run. lol. so we all ran after the bus. like 100 meters. and then they stoped.
Now i was so freaking excited. EVANESCENCE WAS INSIDE THE BUS!!!! Beth went back in the bus and after 2 mins she came back.. and then AMY came infront of the bus!! AMY LEE!!! i thought i would die!! i were like waving and \m/-ing to amy, richard and beth! and then Amy took her (pink) camera up and took a picture of US. (lol. yeah.she took a picture of us. haha. isn't it we who are supposed to take a picture of her? xD) well. after she did that, the bus drove inside to the backstage-thingy. and we went to the fence. after 3-4 mins Amy went outside the bus (i don't remember if any of the other memebers did. i think that richard did, but he's just her bodyguard, as we knoow
) and then we waves to Amy and wished her goodluck with the concert, and she waved back ^^ and she went away and we couldn't see her anymore :/ 
then we went back to the line and waited even more...
we waited and waited and i was shaking (i was shaking all the time from we ran after the bus till like one hour after xD)
we waited even more. now people started coming. and the line took a shape.. koRn fans started coming now (the three bands playing was; Enslaved (norwegian metal), Evanescence and KoRn as headliner)
And of course we had to argue with the KoRn fans, since they ment "amy couldn't sing" and tha "evanescence is pop" and so on. But haha. we told them the thruth
now it was only some mins till the doors opended (well, it's outside, so it's not doors, but whatever)
when the doors opened me and Eirin was the first persons to run inside and down to the stage! but we didn't run to the middle of the stage, but to the left side, tim and troys side, since the stage was soooooo fucking high and it was a speaker in the middle, which made you don't see anything on the stage. so we were following beyonce song: to the left, to the left xD
now we just had to wait for Enslaved. They started after 45 mins, and played for 45 mins. They were.. ok. not what i like. a growling male vocal and heavie guitars... but yeah, it was good
when they were finnished, Evanescence was next!! I was standing on my toes and shaking and stuff all the time from when Enslaved went of, till it was time for Ev to come on.
At first, they sat the drums and stuff really in front of the stage (because it was so high, and they wanted the fans in the ront to see will too, but they were told that they ahd to move it to the back. I guess that was because they were going to film it,and it would be best like that. But what the fuck. i paid to be there, not the fuckers who watched the stream
) We saw the drumms, but not that much. anyway.
The intro for Loose Control went on, and the boys come on stage. the whole crowd screamed and my heart was beating so fast. i was almost crying. hahha. but i didn't since i had a filmcamera straight up my face (the ppl who filmed for the streaming) Terry, Tim, Troy and Will were starting the second song which were Weight of the World... then the rest of the setlist:
Sweet Sacrifice
Going under
Haunted
The Only One
Lithium
Cloud nine
Call me when you're Sober
Bring me to Life
Imaginary
Lacrymosa
All that I'm living for
My immortal
Your Star
I can't remember too much from the concert, but i can remember that they rocked hard and that all the boys and Amy were almost perfect. Amy sung beautiful and the guys rocked hard <3 <3
I do admit that i looked the most at Amy, but DAMN she's even more beautiful in real life than on pictures O: i can't even describe the feelings i had with words. she was there, singing infront of me!! I thought i would die, or something. it's was so beautiful. O: <3
anyway. when they went of, we rushed to were we had acted like crazy fans sevral hours before, and waited for the band to come. we waited. and korn stared playing. but i'm not watching korn, when i can meet Evanescence xD
first Terry came. omg. he was soo funny. first he walked against us, but the he turned around and pretending that he was walking out in the wood. HAHa. but he turned around again, laughing and was like " hey guys, how are you" and we talked a little. he signed the stuff i brought with me (TOD, cmwys and litihum. but i gave Nora litihum, since she hadn't brought any cds. and i'm too kind *hit myself in the head* xD) first he thought i only had the call me singel and just signed that, but i told him that there were more. haha. and he were like "yeah yeah, i see. you know guys, i'm tired. we had a couple of beers last night" or something. haha. and then he laughed. xD he signed all of the stuff that we had brought. (there weren't that many ppl there... Nora, Eirin, Eli, Daniel, Daniels friend, two of Noras friends, a girl i know a little and me) then he said he had to watch KoRn. and he went.
then we waited more.. maybe 15 mins later. Amy came! she did almost the same thing as Terry. HAHA but she started to walk towards the tourbus. but she turned around and laughed and was like. "haha, *laughing* did you think i were going to go now?" Richard followed her, of course. While Amy signed stuff, Richard were standing there with his sigar (sp?) and smoking.ø haha. amy har her red wine in one of her hands, and were signing with the other. i said some words to her. but my heart were beating so fast and my brain froze and my body too. so i think i said somethink like i live you and that her lyrics has helped me through some hard times and things like that. she signed my cds and she were like dancing a little. haha. soooo cuuute! <3 she looked so happy. and that would probably(sp?) be because she just had got married <3
now Tim and Troy also came. both of them signed my cds (Troy thought it was funny that he signed the cds. but i told him that i wanted him to do, even tho he hadn't recorded it ) when tim was going to sign, i gave him my pen, and it didn't work. then i gave him another. that one didn't work either. and i gave him another pen. and that didn't wrok either. hahaha. but the fourth pen i gave him worked xD hahha. so he gave me back mine and i have it today. lol. xD tim touched iit (tims breath was... it didn't smell any good. lol. ) Now Josh and Beth also came and i was standing there looking at everyone and we talked a little. and then suddenly Josh were like " Here you go, i KNOW you want it" and he gave me a mini snickers. and i were like. ok. thanks!! (but, no, i didn't really want it. cuz i don't like snickers. but ok. it's from amys husband ( i still have it. haha) then i asked beth to sign my concert ticket (lol. i needed her signature too, shes so cool!!) and she did! and we talked a little. i actualy think i talked the most to beth. becuase amy had told us that beths granparents were from norway. so i saked beth if she could speak any norwegian. and she were like. noo i can. or. i can say "uffamei" which isn't relly a word, but it means something like.... "oh my god" . and then she asked me and Nora how we got our hair that way. and we explained to her ^^
then we asked amy if we could take a picture with her. but richard were like "no, no pictures today". and then they went away..
Omg. the best day of my life! i feel so lucky and i got butterlies in my stomach when i just thinks about it!
