The Concert

      Ok, the concert was soo good! Alyssa and I got there about ten minutes late, but then, so did everyone else. We only missed Story of the Year, which was fine cause I've never heard of them so... yea. So then Hoobastank came on and they played some songs and Running Away and everyone knew the words and it was pretty cool. Ok, we had the best seats ever! If we looked under the seats behind us, we could see the hallways beneath the blachers that went to the stage. So we saw Sonny and the rest of POD and we were screaming at them, it was pretty cool. Um... so during POD, we tried to sneak down to the floor via the beer garden. We got that far until we realized that we needed wristbands to get to the floor. But we tried. Alyssa was like showing them the "bruises" on her wrist from getting her band yanked off, haha :) So we went back up to our seats, and saw Linkin Park go through the hall under the bleachers. Man, THEN I was screaming! Hahaha, Alyssa thought I was gonna cry :P So yea, they all ignored us, but I was happy cause I got to see Mike and Chester before they went on stage. It was SWEET!! Alright, so then live, LP is incredible! Like amazing and way better! They did all the songs I wanted to hear... it was soo awesome. The best ones were Numb, Nobody's Listening, Breaking the Habit.and the Pushing Me Away Remix, which is my all time favourite song. So, after they finished, we encored for like ten minutes and they finally came out and did three more songs for us, My December, (which was great) Crawling, and One Step Closer. On One Step, they brought out Sonny and the lead singer of Hoobastank to sing with him. It was INCREDIBLE!! So good... man, it was good. So for the last few songs, Alyssa and I snuck into the VIP boxes on the floor, which were better than the actual floor cause we were way closer! Oh man, I can't get over how awesome LP is live!! Oh, and before they came on, this song way playing that Nathan had showed to me the day before called Something I can Never Have by NIN. Whoo, that made me wish he was there!! He totally would have loved it! It was soo amazing... how many times have I said that now!!? So yea, you get the point ;)
