just a junkie preaching to the choir

This last weekend (which, combined with a semi-hellish first full week of classes, I have not entirely recovered from) I:

-Remembered why I love Fall Out Boy
-Fell in love with Chicago
-Fell out of like with a boy
-Earned a whole new respect for Blink-182
-Caught at least 2 dozen dudebros spend an hour and a half bashing FOB, then push and shove and sing along to every word once they got on stage.
-Spent entirely too much money
-Seriously, fell so in love with Chicago

In all flat out statement of honesty, I'm a concert junkie. I'm an addict. There is nothing better than feeling the bass vibrate through you, being in a crowd with thousands of other people singing along at the top of their lungs, the drums pounding in the soles of your feet and the pit of your stomach. If I could do anything in the world and money was no object, I'd be at those things every day. I could never get enough of it, never.

I want to go back to Chicago and never leave--at least until winter comes along, that might totally change my mind.

This sounds AWWWESOME. I'm trying to decide whether I should/can afford to go to Blink 182/Taking Back Sunday in Seattle. So Blink was good? I saw them once back in the day . . .

Blink was really, really good. Like, honestly, I was kind of surprised by how good they were, because in my mind they are an awesome, awesome epic, but also kind of crappy band. lol I listen to their first CD and, I mean, there's Dammit (possibly my 2nd favorite Blink song ever) but everything else... I wasn't expecting to be awed, or to feel like I do when it's Panic or Cobra or FOB on the stage--but I totally was, and did, and yeah. So, so awesome.

Had to leave the pit though, which... I have never actually had to do before, so that should tell you something about that.

I agree with this post. I didn't expect to like Blink as much as I did, but they were awesome. Would totally see them again.

I'm glad you had a good time!

Right? lol I was kind of expecting them to, you know, suck a little bit. The band members talk about how shitty their tours used to be. I was shocked and surprised and other such things of that nature.

Also, I didn't mention this up there, but I'm really not sure it's possible for Spencer Smith to get any hotter without actually bursting into flames. Without me actually bursting into flames, at any rate.

I want to go back to Chicago right now.

I also feel that I should point out in big capital letters YOU REMEMBERED WHY YOU LOVE TWIN.

That is all. *grins*
