WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.799
Hey guys, what's going on? My name is Amy Amore

00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:07.259
and you're listening to Confessions of a Former

00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:11.519
Call Girl. How's everybody been doing? I cannot

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:16.719
believe it's November already and I was in Walmart

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.199
maybe two weeks ago and it was before Halloween

00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.660
so they were already putting up Christmas decorations.

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.079
I'm like it's it's not even Like, we haven't

00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.780
had Halloween yet and Thanksgiving. You guys

00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:31.559
are already putting up Christmas decor. What

00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.320
the hell? And it seems like in America, it's

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.380
earlier and earlier they're putting decorations.

00:00:38.859 --> 00:00:41.240
I'm like, do you have to do this? Who's making

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.140
you do this? Mariah Carey hasn't even been defrosted

00:00:45.140 --> 00:00:52.299
yet to do the... Don't want no love. Yeah. Anyways,

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.539
you know which song I'm talking about. She sings

00:00:55.539 --> 00:00:59.219
it every year and she made an inside joke. Yeah.

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.119
And I love it. She's making fun of it. But yeah.

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.879
Anyways, yeah. November. But yeah, I've been

00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.079
I've been wanting to because it's getting closer

00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.500
to Christmas. Like I started planning to do something

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:18.859
on Christmas. because at home we don't really

00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:21.459
celebrate it anymore for some reason. I don't

00:01:21.459 --> 00:01:25.099
know. I have to ask my mom about that. So I started

00:01:25.099 --> 00:01:28.599
traveling for Christmas, even though it's expensive,

00:01:28.780 --> 00:01:32.560
which is why I freak out when I'm like, ah, I

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.799
need to go somewhere and spend Christmas and

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.239
New Year's somewhere else where I'm at now. But

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:46.129
yeah, I hope you guys are not... I hope you guys

00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:49.370
are excited for Christmas, even though I know

00:01:49.370 --> 00:01:52.069
Christmas is not the same as it used to be back

00:01:52.069 --> 00:01:55.469
in like the 90s and 80s and 2000s, like early

00:01:55.469 --> 00:01:59.450
2000s. But, you know, because it's all about

00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:03.150
consumers and capitalism and yada yada, smart

00:02:03.150 --> 00:02:07.670
stuff, smart words that I can't think about,

00:02:07.769 --> 00:02:10.889
but you guys get what I mean. But still, you

00:02:10.889 --> 00:02:14.280
know, Christmas, I... I really want to feel Christmas

00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.219
spirit and because I haven't felt it in quite

00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:20.919
a while I feel like there's no Christmas spirit

00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.400
if there isn't Christmas music going on family

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.539
is not together and if there is no snow I need

00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:32.340
snow I want snow I want it now even if it's not

00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:36.020
cold yet but I want it but um yeah so I was actually

00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:39.379
going to talk about this festival I went to recently

00:02:40.270 --> 00:02:42.909
it's it's called when we were young festival

00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:47.669
it's a festival of alternative rock punk music

00:02:47.669 --> 00:02:53.129
and i forgot no okay what happened was i reserved

00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:58.770
tickets literally a year ago um after i think

00:02:58.770 --> 00:03:01.490
it was first of november a year ago so first

00:03:01.490 --> 00:03:06.969
on the first of november in 2024 and I was on

00:03:06.969 --> 00:03:08.870
the wait list, and I paid for the tickets, I

00:03:08.870 --> 00:03:12.270
paid for the VIP pass. Like, I have to get VIP,

00:03:12.370 --> 00:03:17.050
because Panic! at the Disco were the main guy,

00:03:17.210 --> 00:03:21.599
the main act. and i'm like oh my god it's 20

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.219
years of fever you can sweat out anniversary

00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:27.580
it's a a fever if you a fever that you can't

00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:29.560
sweat out it's a it's the name of their very

00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.419
first album it's got cool cover and it's very

00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:39.400
burlesque very rock and jazz and i i don't even

00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.740
know how to explain it but it's you should listen

00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:43.340
to it like you should listen to panic at the

00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:46.659
disco but not recent hits because recent hits

00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:49.590
are kind of like I don't know. I didn't really

00:03:49.590 --> 00:03:52.590
like it. I did not really like Viva Las Vengeance,

00:03:52.629 --> 00:03:56.810
their latest album. Not very me, but their earlier

00:03:56.810 --> 00:04:00.789
albums are really good. So, yeah, if you're a

00:04:00.789 --> 00:04:04.509
Pentecostal fan, we can be friends. I don't care

00:04:04.509 --> 00:04:06.710
what your background is, like, we can be friends

00:04:06.710 --> 00:04:10.969
because it's such a cool band. they changed me

00:04:10.969 --> 00:04:15.009
their songs changed me like literally but um

00:04:15.009 --> 00:04:18.649
yeah i love them they're great so anyways i got

00:04:18.649 --> 00:04:23.230
the tickets a year ago and i don't know how i

00:04:23.230 --> 00:04:27.769
mixed up this festival with warped tour which

00:04:27.769 --> 00:04:30.970
is different name different bands on it but it's

00:04:30.970 --> 00:04:34.110
still the same type of music so what happened

00:04:34.110 --> 00:04:41.209
was i Because, like, you get wristbands. So,

00:04:41.310 --> 00:04:45.029
because I pre -ordered it, the ticket, the VIP

00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:48.089
ticket, and the wristbands came in the mail two

00:04:48.089 --> 00:04:51.509
weeks prior to the festival. So, when it came

00:04:51.509 --> 00:04:55.009
in, it stated 10 -19, which is October 10th.

00:04:55.009 --> 00:04:57.509
And I'm like, wait a minute, that's five days

00:04:57.509 --> 00:05:00.689
from now. Wait a minute, huh? What's happening?

00:05:00.769 --> 00:05:03.430
And it was like, yeah. And I'm like, oh, my God.

00:05:04.029 --> 00:05:06.310
Please tell me the festival is not in five days.

00:05:06.430 --> 00:05:09.170
I don't have a plane ticket. I don't have hotel

00:05:09.170 --> 00:05:12.189
booked. Like, I have, like, I am not prepared.

00:05:12.310 --> 00:05:14.990
I forgot about it. I forgot that it was going

00:05:14.990 --> 00:05:18.230
to be in October. And, I mean, of course, and

00:05:18.230 --> 00:05:21.290
there's, like, I got emails and everything, but

00:05:21.290 --> 00:05:23.930
for some reason just popped out of my head, you

00:05:23.930 --> 00:05:26.089
know, with everything going on and my personal

00:05:26.089 --> 00:05:31.110
life and professional, yada, yada. Yeah, so...

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.819
So basically what happened, I had to spend 80

00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:41.519
,000 of my miles, which is a lot. Yeah, pretty

00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.920
much most of my miles. I think I have like 22

00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.699
,000 left, which is not a lot, but still. And

00:05:46.699 --> 00:05:49.800
then 80 ,000 miles, I had to book a hotel. I

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.639
booked a hotel, but it looked like a motel, but

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.620
it was the cheapest one. I think it was like

00:05:56.620 --> 00:06:01.149
$92 a night. It was kind of in the ghetto area.

00:06:01.689 --> 00:06:04.170
But it was 30 minutes away from the festival.

00:06:04.449 --> 00:06:07.829
And I ended up walking to the festival. Because

00:06:07.829 --> 00:06:12.470
Uber apparently like... Okay, I guess I'll jump

00:06:12.470 --> 00:06:15.810
to that later. So, yeah, pretty much a lot of

00:06:15.810 --> 00:06:19.149
my money went into it. And, I mean, I guess...

00:06:19.149 --> 00:06:23.250
Okay, the ticket technically was free. Because

00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:26.189
I only paid with my miles. But still, that pissed

00:06:26.189 --> 00:06:29.899
me off so much. I'm like... And they are so stupid.

00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:33.480
Like, the stupid rules. I hate the rules. Generally,

00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.920
I hate the rules. It's like they are there to

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.740
control you. But because it was almost $800 ticket,

00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:43.220
they said no refunds. And I'm like, damn, do

00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:46.180
I really want to miss Panic! at the Disco when

00:06:46.180 --> 00:06:48.699
possibly all of them, all of the original members

00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:52.860
are going to be there? Do I really want to miss

00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:55.120
out all the fun because if I stay home And I

00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.019
was supposed to stay home because it was housekeeping

00:06:57.019 --> 00:07:00.279
or not housekeeping I mean I did some housekeeping,

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.319
but I was yeah anyways how sitting there we go

00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.319
And I do I really want to miss all the fun, but

00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.319
at the same time I wanted to stay home But if

00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.500
I would have stayed home, I would have regretted

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:16.360
Going to the I would have regretted not going

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.339
to the festival so what happened was yeah like

00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:25.079
about the ticket anyways And, yeah, I'm like,

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:28.779
okay, I guess I'm flying there. So, basically,

00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.120
yeah, like, the same day I had to get a plane

00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.160
ticket around the way. Like, I was literally

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:42.240
in Vegas for two days. That's it. Sorry, no,

00:07:42.339 --> 00:07:47.389
it was okay. It was two evenings. I guess it

00:07:47.389 --> 00:07:50.290
was almost two days, which is very short time

00:07:50.290 --> 00:07:54.290
just for the festival. But I think I'm going

00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:56.709
to make part two about this because I have so

00:07:56.709 --> 00:08:00.610
much to tell you guys. Yeah, I ended up flying

00:08:00.610 --> 00:08:05.449
there and Uber from the airport was $60. It was

00:08:05.449 --> 00:08:10.870
a 30 -minute drive of $60. Thankfully, I had

00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:14.769
some Uber points saved up. Somehow, I have no

00:08:14.769 --> 00:08:18.529
idea how, but somehow I did. That saved me $15,

00:08:18.670 --> 00:08:25.009
which is something. But when I... Vegas airport

00:08:25.009 --> 00:08:28.649
was confusing to me because it was a long flight,

00:08:28.730 --> 00:08:32.110
it was a long day. I arrived maybe like 7 o 'clock

00:08:32.110 --> 00:08:37.250
in the evening and I started seeing more of my

00:08:37.250 --> 00:08:42.769
people. You know, alternative girls, goths, punks.

00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:47.440
emos uh i mean you can spot them easily it's

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.679
colored hair maybe piercings definitely tattoos

00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.039
uh colorful clothes sometimes they're wearing

00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.879
all black and most of it are band logos i'm like

00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.299
okay i need to head where they are heading follow

00:09:00.299 --> 00:09:04.120
the people follow the crowd uh so i did and uh

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:10.629
yeah like it okay so at the airport there's uber

00:09:10.629 --> 00:09:15.889
waiting just for ubers lifts and taxis and you

00:09:15.889 --> 00:09:19.590
go to the building you wait there and they have

00:09:19.590 --> 00:09:23.070
those zones it's like zone a but everybody has

00:09:23.070 --> 00:09:26.149
to wait in the waiting area until your zone is

00:09:26.149 --> 00:09:28.549
called so that that was like a first one for

00:09:28.549 --> 00:09:32.029
me so even though i do travel but that was like

00:09:32.029 --> 00:09:34.889
first one so but yeah vegas airport was pretty

00:09:34.889 --> 00:09:37.110
busy especially with this festival from what

00:09:37.110 --> 00:09:41.600
i've heard all of the hotels were booked and

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.360
some of them were overbooked and i'm like ah

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.840
i booked just in time yay and and for for a good

00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.500
price um because most of the hotels near the

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:56.419
festival were at least 130 dollars a night 130

00:09:56.419 --> 00:10:02.419
dollars ridiculous i couldn't even use my choice

00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:07.389
points choice hotel points um yeah because there

00:10:07.389 --> 00:10:09.830
was a hotel but it was an hour away like darn

00:10:09.830 --> 00:10:15.809
it um but yeah anyways i arrived at my hotel

00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:21.490
um checked in kind of fast ish but but okay when

00:10:21.490 --> 00:10:23.970
i arrived at the hotel they had they gave me

00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:28.350
all these ridiculous fees not taxes but fees

00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:30.929
it's like oh yeah there's a fee for wi -fi i'm

00:10:30.929 --> 00:10:33.820
like but i paid for the room And they were saying,

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.419
yeah, you paid for the room, but Wi -Fi is extra,

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.240
even though it's free. I'm like, that does not

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.559
make any sense. What I did after I came back

00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:48.159
home, I pretty much counted it as fraud. And

00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.799
I'm pretty sure, I think I just got my money

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:57.600
back. So, yeah, yeah. Thunderbird Hotel is what

00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.399
it's called in Vegas do not go there because

00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:04.259
they will charge you ridiculous fees so yes ha

00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:10.519
ha ha yeah okay so then yeah and I was so excited

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.759
I could barely sleep so I had to take melatonin

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:16.120
and I started taking melatonin very lately and

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.759
it knocks me out and I love it but it makes me

00:11:21.620 --> 00:11:24.600
Sleep until 8 in the morning sometimes 9, which

00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.840
is late for me I'm like, it's 9 in the afternoon

00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:31.320
and my eyes are the size of the moon It's actually

00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.620
one of the panic at the disco songs lyrics. So

00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:42.399
yeah Easter egg Yeah So I woke up I started getting

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.980
ready. I'm like, okay 1 p .m Boys and boys and
