virgin mobile free fest.

first of all, it's an entirely free admission concert. you have to either be lucky as hell to get the tickets, or do some community service. i was lucky as hell. my friend got two tickets, and i was the one that got to go with her!

band line-up (at least the ones i knew): taking back sunday, jet, the bravery, weezer, blink 182.

i was a bit disappointed with taking back sunday, as they were playing a bunch of new songs, and i wasn't even aware they came out with a cd that was newer than louder now. we left about halfway through.

i didn't see jet. i instead walked around. i regret nothing.

the bravery was surprisingly righteous. i am definitely investing in their cd, and i will invest in their new one when it comes out in november.

weezer was unbelievable. they are just so good live. they played some classics (my name is jonas, say it ain't so, buddy holly, sweater song) as well as some newbies that i barely cared for, but their performance was not on a chain. in fact it was off the chain. they even opened with war pigs, and closed with should i stay or should i go.

blink 182 goes without saying. they were hilarious, and fantastic. it's as if they never split up. they played more songs from their self-titled album than i would've liked, but it's their choice. plus, they still played some good'ns (dammit, all the small things feelin' this) and topped it off with some really awesome ones (anthem part 2, reckless abandon, josie, carousel, not now, stay together for the kids).

needless to say, it was an exciting day. my love for blink has returned, and it's here to stay. huzzah!

currently listening to: jack-o-lantern man by the bravery

Sounds like YOU had fun!

Wow, I'd go to a Blink 182 concert if it was free....

And I have no idea why they have ice down there. Maybe it's just so that people like me can sit in there and freeze to death.

Yeah, I think I'm booting the song.
I love J.D.

I've seen the bravery in concert. it was pretty cool. free concerts are always awesome though. even if you don't really like the bands playing, it's still cool to just chill.

re: yeah, 2am. my shift starts at 3 in the morning. about the only advantage is that I'm home before noon

that sounds really awesome. I've always loved Blink-182. I went to their concert where it was Green Day, Blink and Jimmy Eat World. Nobody knew who JEW was at the time so we were like, "uh, ok, I guess I like these guys."

Yeah I made it there safe. I dialed 911 again and still no one came.....but I am not about to move b/c of fear. They will win. I am a fighter so I will stay :)
