The End of an Era
I’m sure most of you following this blog have seen Kidnap at Mojoe’s at least one of the numerous times they played there, if not more. So I assume that most of you know that Mojoe’s will be closing its doors for good on Saturday, December 13th.
Though it is upsetting, the end of Mojoe’s does not mean the end of A Kidnap In Color. The boys will find another venue to take over and the family that’s been created in recent years will live on.
We may not have our venue, but we still have our boys.

HOMETOWN THROWDOWN FINALE
That was so much fun and so sad at the same time.
It was the first time I saw Kidnap which was exciting :) I honestly can’t believe Mojoe’s is closing it seriously breaks my heart. I saw ATL for the first time at Mojoe’s and it’ll always have a special spot in my heart.
I’ll be going back there tomorrow to see Mayday Parade, which is probably the last time I go to Mojoe’s ever again because I most likely won’t go to the Craig Owens show.
So sad. You will be missed and loved forever<3
Last night was perfect.

It wasn’t over the top at all, it was just the way it always is. All of us, goofing off, being ourselves, being abnoxious and some what rowdy with each other because that’s what we do. Watching the amazing bands that hail from our part of town (Even if I live 25 miles away .. stfu).
Watching Kidnap was AMAZING. We were all stageside, the family. It was just as it should be. Everyone that mattered was there, minus a few :(. Going up for Lust was perfect, EVERYTHING.
And yeah, I did cry! I cried during The Rumours Are Flying and Robyn consoled me :)
Pictures soon, although I didn’t take many a lot of other people did.<3
As I walked back into a pretty much empty Mojoe’s last night

I just stood there taking it all in. I thought, if these walls could talk.
I said goodbye perfectly. Dancing alone in the stage room obnoxiously with Nicole to Lady Gaga, chilling and chatting by the bar with Mimi, Linh and Katelyn, and getting lots of hugs as I left from Dave, Dan and Peter. <3
And I walked out alone for the last time, but I’m glad I was alone. :)
HTTD Finale

The anticipation was almost as exciting as the real thing.
It was a Half day Friday, me, mary lou and alyssa went to Panda Express and chilled at Mary Lou’s house until it was time to go. Car ride to Mojoes= eyes set to kill (I’ve never heard of before), DWP, ADTR, DGD, and Fall Out Boy. Then we got to Mojoes and waited in the hallway for what seemed like an hour. We met up with Marcella, Krysta, and Josh. I Finally wrote my name on the wall. We got in; I tracked down Alexa <3. Took a shitton of pictures and met a bunch of new people, and hung out with people I never get to see. HAD A PRETTY SWEET REUNION WITH NICK GNEZDA. awww. I love Alee too. I went apeshit during Kidnap and You, Me, And Everyone We Know’s sets. I was dancing, and singing the lyrics obnoxiously at the top of my lungs. We stormed the stage during Kidnap. The new YM&EWK song makes me so fucking happy and want to dance. lmfao at the kid in the yellow hoodie that nick punched; he deserved it. My ears are ringing b/c I got up close and personal with The Frantic during their set. I almost got impaled and kicked in the face twice in one night. I wish I could have stayed for the Kidnap’s acoustic show after. Car ride back home= Lady Gaga. I LOVE YOU ALL. SERIOUSLY. Everyone was so chill yesterday and I had so much fun. It’s surreal that it’s all over now.
They will never understand

how much it meant to us.
Mojoe’s was more than a venue, it was our home. It was a place we could go when we didn’t feel like we belonged anywhere else. It was somewhere to get away from the dramas of school and home. Where we could have a whole other group of friends who accepted us no matter what our flaws. Where we could be whoever we wanted to be without worry. It was a place we all felt safe among the crowds and the blacklights.
They call us fans. We call ourselves family.
Agh.

Last night was the best ever. Even though it was also probably the saddest in a while. I will forever and ever miss mojoes. I know i’m technically new to this all in a way, but god. I am never gonna forget the feeling i got when i walked in that place. You can feel the love and pure awesomeness just by walking in that place. Then you start talking to people and bands and you realize that nothing matters there. Mojoes was a place that i would escape all my problems. For one night absolutely nothing was wrong. I didn’t have to worry about boy issues, girl issues, school, or even just worry about how much of a loser i was making of myself cause there no one cared. Wait no, they cared a lot. About everyone. Last night was the last time i would walk out of mojoes forever. And i’m happy i got to do it with my best friend. I love robyn so much. Without her i probably woulda never even known what the hell mojoes was. And i love Mimi. And Cat. And Danielle. And Alexa. And all the guys in kidnap. And all those random people i meet while im there that i forget the next morning. Seriously guys, Thank you for giving me a place to just let loose and be myself without a care in the world. I’ll love you guys forever. (:
Damn. That was sappy.
I love

But this sucks.
I’m little, okay? I’m new to it and all. But I love Mojoes. I can never be as happy anywhere else, as I am there. It’s so beautiful, it’s just breathtaking. I can’t explain the feeling… like your seriously in a different world. Everyones different there… just so nice, ya know? They don’t want to hurt you, they want to have fun.
Mojoes is safety. It’s home. Where else can I truly be happy? I’m never sad there. I never feel hopeless like I do at home. I never, ever want to leave when it’s time.
I was just making my own little Mojoe-family. And it’s ruined.
I’ll miss you Mojoes. More than you could ever understand. ]:
