I'm intrigued by how Shawn manages to pop his collar and not look like a douche.

This was cool! I love how Dylan mentions me by saying " and did you get the people behind Justine and them?" I was with "Tara" and we had to make a phone call to get into this show and then when Matt came out to let us know he got our message we told him about all the rest of the kids not getting in and that is how the whole line of Matches fans got guest listed LOL! It was an amazing night! with great friends... my girls, The Matches and some of the Valencia boys!

good documentary Pip!

Holy balls- I was at that show! I was seriously upset to hear they are done for- but I'm glad I got to see them before it happened! It's a real shame when people as creative as that can't break the big time

[dooglesbe]

Shawn was a saint when i met him. They all were! XD

Although Matt was very quiet, and i never got a chance to meet the new bassist :(

[ETFcrashandburn]

Shawn was so nice when I met him ^^

He wished me a happy birthday and gave me a hug and everything was so nice ahaha

[InsanityCalling]

yeah they are something else but sadly i dont thinkg there will be another chance to see them all together. but lets all hope that they do decide to play once again as the matches

[SignsofIntelligence]

shawn wasnt that nice wen we met him

they've been touring a long time, and they've been to the city before. And it say's 4:00 they're at the venue. They would have had all morning and most of the afternoon to explore. It's probably the time between soundcheck and the show. And they want to relax and focus before they play. There's not really a lot of time to go back out anywhere. Don't want to risk getting stuck in traffic and being late for your own show. That's embarrassing.

great vid! i love this. i'm DYING to see them live, and meet the guys. really. but i've got to someday, so man, when that day comes.. ah. i'll remember back to posting this comment, come back to this video, and post a long and descriptive recollection of my experience at the show.

so.. sorry. that was a bit off.

but the matches kick ass, so hm, that's all that matters (:

thanks for the video! <3

well to be fair, I didn't get to meet up with them until 5 and they had to be at the venue by 530 (times might be off a little, just guesstimating here). They arrived in Philly the night before and had all day to check the city out. Not that they've never been to philly before either. The matches have been touring for a very long time and I'm sure, especially when they first started out that they went out a lot

Anywho, thanks everybody for checking this out though, I really appreciate it.

Great video! This really made me want to see them again!!
