Hello and welcome back! You are listening to
Confessions of a Former Call Girl and I am your
host, Amy Amore. So, welcome back to episode
2 of When We Were Young Festival. So, last time
I talked about the ridiculous fees at my hotel
and I complained the whole time of the episode.
But, but, but, but... this is part two so because
because a lot has happened so yeah i didn't get
to see the boys and girls uh band but i got to
see other bands and i made a friend um that i
mentioned in the episode in the first episode
and yeah like she lived she like we literally
met in the line for one of the photo ops And
somebody offered to take both of our pictures.
And she's like, I'm going to lift you up. I'm
like, okay. And it was the first time. And it
was such a cool photo. And it was the first time
a girl has lifted me up. Usually, it's the guys.
But I like being lifted up. Whether you're a
girl or a dude. Yeah. It's nice to be lifted
up. Both physically and in spirit. Yeah. So,
yeah. Pretty much like me and her. She went crowd
surfing to see her band. I kind of looked around,
went around, explored. And at this festival,
they gave slushies, free slushies, free non -alcoholic
slushies. I had to ask because I do not drink.
Yeah, and then free slushies. They gave free
fans, which I did not know about until they were
gone in the evening. um but there were like a
lot of full of cool photo ops um and yeah like
I was alone I was wearing this kind of disco
sparkling dress my hair was neon green and wavy
and I got lots of compliments and especially
from girls it's like you know they're genuine
when they are from women so when a woman compliments
you guys man that is genuine that's not because
she wants to sleep with you although maybe it
is i don't know i i don't have a lot of women
friends i have very few and they are all mysterious
and i like it i like mysterious people but it's
like what are they hiding what are what are their
secrets um but yeah so i went to see yeah i was
looking around and what happened was i saw everything
there was okay I will not be the first nor the
last person to complain about this, but some
festivals really need to have shade, especially
when it's Vegas, and especially if it gets to
90 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 30, no, 40 degrees
Celsius, I think. I'm pretty sure. Correct me
if I'm wrong. But it's like, this is Vegas. They
know they're in Vegas. Why was there no shade
available? Like, this is ridiculous. I mean,
a lot of people had to find shade. And I'm pretty
sure some of them have fought for the shade.
But speaking of fights, stay tuned because I'm
going to tell you something. I'm going to tell
you something and you will like it. And you can
either judge me or hate me, but I could not care.
Okay, so yeah, and I got tired. And there were
water stations, thankfully, all over the festival.
Um, so I pretty much chugged water. Um, yeah.
And it all kind of, um, what do you call it?
Absorbed, absorbed in me and evaporated because
I, I, I think I only went to restroom one time,
uh, because that's how hot it was. Like people
keep drinking water and not peeing. That's not
good. I mean, it is good because they still absorb
water, but anyways, anyways, um, yeah, lots of
people. The same people I saw in the morning
or in the afternoon, they got sunburned. I'm
like, guys, come on. Like I brought my whole
makeup bag pretty much. I was really worried
bringing in my kind of purse, my clear purse
because of the measurements, but security didn't
care. So yeah, I brought foundation that has
sunscreen. Guys can use it too. Like guys, seriously,
use foundation with sunscreen because just the
foundation will not... will not help you always
your sunscreen no matter what um and i brought
sunscreen and it really helped me because it
didn't like i did not get sunburned only very
very little bit by my cheeks so that's it um
yeah so um yeah so then i walked around got water
and then i'm like i'm tired it was maybe three
o 'clock in the afternoon. And I'm like, I have
to charge my phone. I have to use the internet
because I do not know why. I actually do know
why, but apparently I did not pay for my phone
bill, even though I did two days before the festival.
But anyways, T -Mobile is weird, but I have like
a $15 plan per month because I don't even use...
mail came in i don't even use um internet i only
use wi -fi at home so it's like why why do i
need to pay for the phone but uh when i go out
i usually use internet so yeah and um and uh
yeah so yeah uh my internet was not working and
only texting was working so um yeah so i went
to the hotel i went to this hotel is I don't
even know why, but it's blue. It's near Las Vegas
festival grounds. And it's fancy. And I saw a
lot of Gen Z's there. And they were all dressed
fancy. And girls looked a lot alike. And the
guys looked a lot alike. They were all clones.
And I'm like, am I back in Charleston? Why does
everybody look the same? I did see a few goths
and punks there. I literally, like, yeah, like,
I was not even staying at that hotel, but I used
their Wi -Fi. I cooled off a little bit. I got
my water. I used their fancy bathroom. I, you
know, reapplied my makeup. It was great. Kind
of saved me, actually, because that way I did
not have to go all the way to my hotel, which
was 30 minutes away. So, yeah. And... um yeah
and then I came back I got a hold of my new friend
and I was chilling with her and we went to see
Avril Lavigne and it was awesome but she didn't
move a lot on the stage like she doesn't have
perfect stage presence but she was there I got
to see her from afar my mom says she looks the
same when I saw her on the screens she did not
look the same she does look like she aged but
i mean she's only what 40 i think so yeah uh
maybe maybe younger maybe she's my age i don't
she looked great she's every living she looks
great um and then blink 182 uh performed after
her and then weezer okay i've heard of some of
the weezer songs I don't know why they were there.
I feel like they would have been better at more
calmer festival. Because I thought their set
was so boring. Like, Blink -182, like, they,
yeah, they were cool. I got to see them. Like,
I've heard of them. I did listen to a few of
their songs. But, like, I was waiting for Bad
Ink at the Disco. At 10 o 'clock. They had to
perform at 10 o 'clock at night. I'm like, I'm
a millennial. I want to go home. Like, I'm in
bed at 10 o 'clock. I want to go home. And my
legs were tired. My back was tired. I was like,
I took Adderall. Even though I don't need to,
but I take it. To stay awake. I don't know what
happened. why my brain did this but i was not
awake at all i was really tired and but then
finally you know they came in as soon as they
come in here's an interesting part here's why
i wanted to record this podcast but also because
um telling you guys about the festivals so uh
okay so writers panica to disco came to perform
first of all they did not have Original members,
all four of them, like I wanted. Okay, so one
of them, he did leave in the very beginning,
Brent Wilson. Then John Walker came along to
replace Brent on the bass. And also, I was expecting
Spencer Smith, I was expecting Ryan Ross, who's
my favorite, and John Walker, and of course,
Brendan Urie. No! although spencer who plays
drums he did come along but at the very very
last second when i already left i left because
brand okay brandon uri he's the vocal his vocals
he plays piano like he's got so much charisma
it's ridiculous he did perform he's great like
i saw him before i went to panic at the disco
concert before in 2023 that was fantastic concert
um and that was enough for me and i mean i did
go to this one because i had to i paid for it
uh but yeah so i'm like you know what if they're
gonna play the songs that i already heard it's
the same energy like i don't feel good at this
point so i'm just gonna leave halfway half on
this half to the set so but Here's an interesting
thing. Thank you for waiting. Thank you for your
patience. These two short Mexican girls, I have
to point out the fact that they're Mexican because
if it was two white girls, the things that would
happen probably wouldn't happen if they were
white. Maybe if they were black because black
people, they're very communicative. They're very,
like, they will say the truth. They're very truthful.
But they're very passionate, like Italians, for
example. So these two short Mexican girls, they...
Before this, I already made friends with a woman
who was there with her children, with her teenage
son. So the woman went for a cigarette. I held
her spot. While I held her spot, these two Mexican
chicks, they... said they were going to pass
me through but it turned out that they just caught
me like they literally stood in front of me and
blocked some space so like there was so now i
didn't really have space for that woman like
they took her spot so so that woman noticed and
she came back from her cigarette bag she noticed
and she she gave them a lecture pretty much which
good for her she should and they just did not
care They were maybe, okay, maybe 25. Maybe they
were my age. I don't know. But it's the fact
that you caught me and then you just don't care.
Like, you don't feel guilty. Like, fucking sociopath
bitch. And anyway, sorry, sorry. So that happened.
And I asked her. They were still standing in
front of us. So I asked this woman. Do you have
a lighter? Because I noticed one of the girls
had really long ponytails. And I pretended to
light her hair on fire. I wanted to. She deserved
it. Because, like, this bitch caught me off.
I could still see the stage, but it's the fact.
It's the fact that counts. That you caught me
while me and other people were standing, waiting
for panic. We were standing there for three hours,
if not less, waiting for panic at the disco.
And I just came along. in a smaller spot so okay
where i'm going with this uh so then this girl
started moving like waving her hands in front
of me i'm like oh this bitch needs to be put
down so and i noticed her backpack her clear
backpack had something falling out i pointed
it to her and i'm like wait that's my cue I'm
going to take my spa bag. So while she was looking
at the floor, looking for her thing, I think
it was a hairbrush, I quickly jumped back on
my spot. And then this girl had the audacity
to start shoving me, which made me shove other
people. And I could apologize in front of these
people like, are you guys okay? I'm sorry, but
she pushed me. So this girl had the audacity
to not just cut me, but had the audacity to shove
me on my own spot, which I had for three hours.
And I shoved her. I told her like, look, you
took my spot. You're shoving me? Like, what the
hell? And I tried to say it calmly, but it did
not come out that way. So she's like, do you
want to go? Do you want to go? Puta or something
like that. I know what puta is. I am a bitch
sometimes. I know, but not in this situation.
So here's the thing. I'm not being sexist, but
I would never fight a girl. But she was asking
for it. I did not end up fighting her. But I...
I just kind of laughed when, like, laughed, like,
ha, ha, when she said she was gonna fight me,
like, she was maybe an inch, uh, no, not inch,
a foot shorter than me, and, like, it was just
a funny situation in that really intense moment,
so I stood my ground, and then she took out her
fan, I'm like, oh, if this girl will get, get,
Get the fan in my eye. I will go berserk. The
face. My face is the money maker. Not just for
OnlyFans. But for acting. For literally everything.
For life. It's the money maker. Don't touch it.
I'm very conscious about my face. Not just as
a woman. But what I do in life. So I'm looking
at this fan and she waves it around and maybe,
okay, maybe she was intimidated that I stood
my ground. I was calm most of the time. So that's
why she decided to use something because she
was not going to beat me or fight me. Yeah, which
would make sense. But anyways, and then she started
waving her hands like right in front of my face
again. And I'm like, I'm talking to myself. I'm
like in my head. Is this really worth it? Is
she really worth it? What if I'm going to go
to jail? I started raving to security at this
point. They were up on cloud nine or something.
They were high or drunk and they did not care.
And I started, I turned on my flashlight on my
phone and started getting their attention. Nothing.
So I'm like, you know what? I am trying to stay
calm. I know where the pressure points are. I
know how to fight. But at that moment, I became
like a Buddhist monk or something. I took a deep
breath. And I told the woman who held my spot
with a kid who I made friends with. Hey, get
on my spot. I'm going to leave. I'm going home.
I am tired of this. I saw them. I got disappointed.
This whole festival is a fucking joke. I'm going
to go home. I mean... Okay, here's the thing.
If it was properly organized, the festival, it
would have been better. If the bands performed
in the afternoon, it would have been better.
But yeah, I did get to jump the gate in the middle
of it when I was going from one stage to the
other. I did get to jump the gate because apparently
the VIP section was filled. I'm like, bitch,
I literally paid for it a year ago. yeah i got
to jump the fence a few people five might have
seen my underwear but at least i was wearing
some even though it was hot i did not want to
because i need ventilation there but uh tmi tmi
but yeah yeah us girls need to breathe there
too but uh and i'm like i almost got into a fight
so i mean there was shoving but yeah anyways
and i left and when i was going through the crowd
One of the girls who was coming my way, I was
coming along her way in the side space. She pulled
on my hand and we switched spots. That was funny.
It was really funny. And like literally a thousand
more people came when it was crazy. I don't understand
why they keep overbooking tickets. And I definitely
know that there was a gossip that somebody peed,
that the guy peed. On two girls because he wanted
to be in the pit. I know my friend, my younger
friend, she crowd surfed three times. And that's
how she got in the pit. And that's the cheat
way to get in the pit, apparently. So, yeah.
So, yeah. I think I got scratched or something.
I know. Oh, I got a tiny, tiny bruise where my
watch is. Um, yeah, that was awesome. Um, yeah.
Do I regret going to the festival? Yes, in a
way, but I would have regretted if I did not
go. And, uh, yeah, I still got to spend home
alone time when I came back. So, um, yeah. Yeah,
but I did not. not recommend going to the when
we were young festival unless you are waiting
unless you are ready to um stand in one spot
for 12 hours waiting for your band to arrive
so yeah um yeah that's pretty much it oh gosh
i don't think i missed anything that i wanted
to say um what happens in vegas does not stay
in vegas it goes on my on this podcast all kinds
of stories so actually yeah because the last
time i was in vegas i was it was my birthday
and i hired a male companion so yeah um so anyways
