Julia is banned from the Budweiser Stage.
That collosium venue perpetuating Dantes Inferno was the battleground. Everyone either hates because it feels like you are rolling into the pits of hell, or loves because I don't know its "history." Whatever, great. You can't smoke there too and it's outdoors, so the redundancies persist.
The Cure was playing that night, a night Julia and her friend, Sonja, assumed would lead them to access GA despite their 300-section tickets.. Listen, everyone sneaks into the GA section it's not impossible. Allegedly. Let me rephrase that, everyone allegedly can somehow find their way into GA.
"We basically pull up to Budweiser after literally chugging Stoli, we were so geeked to be there belligerent," she typed.
So this is what Julia did, she tried to scan her other friend's tickets to get into the GA section. Julia and Sonja took one ticket and went in from different sides. Eventually, security caught on and told them they had to leave multiple times. But that didn't stop them. They had a mission, and no one, not even security was going to stop them from seeing Robert and what I firmly believe is Andy Warhol's old wig dyed black. He was everything. He is everything.
After wandering for a bit in GA, they were caught again. "The security was all over us and we kept ignoring them, then a whole group of them physically grabbed us and forced us to leave."
You have to understand, at this point, that both of them were in deep. They made it this far, they were literally in the depths of GA. There was no going back, it was do or die.
Soon, the bribery began. $20 exactly. Then came the disguises. Searching for scalpers. Julia and Sonja wrapped Cure merch shirts they'd purchased around their head to try to get back in. Nothing worked. At this point, the two of them were a Mickey and a half in.
This is when the last resort and the climax of the story kicks in.
You know how around the venue it's like a mild swamp, the trenches basically. They both decided to walk around the venue in the swamp-like muck and ran through the back trying to make their way back in. Cops. cops, cops, cops, cops, all inside chasing the two of them down.
"We were running in our Demonias."
They detained the both of them, gave them a warning and said if they ever returned within the year, they'd be arrested.
Until June 14., 2024, Julia is banned from the Budweiser Stage.
