Concerts!!!
Hiya Everyone!!!
12 days and counting!!! That's how long until I go home! Whew! I can't believe my first year of college is coming to a close. It definitely flew fast! Much faster than I thought it would. But that is another story. Today I want to focus on the awesome concerts that have occurred in the last two days. First I want to talk about my concert on Friday, then today's Spring concert!
Last night I attended The All American Rejects (AAR), Shiny Toy Guns (STG) and The Overflow (I think that is the name of the last band, they didn't introduce themselves >.<). It was AMAZING!!!! The venue, Hampton Beach Ballroom, is really small and a great place for concerts. I had been there previously for a concert last year. We arrived early and had to stand in line, which kinda sucked, but it allowed us to be able to get really good spots (as you will see later in the pics ^^). It was standing room only, which I like best. We stood for an hour before the concert started. Meanwhile, I played on the internet with my phone to pass the time. We also talked to a girl we had seen at our last concert. It was awesome to know someone else. We all had a great time. ^^ At 7:30 the lights when out and everything started. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by the first band, but they weren't terrible. During their performance the lead singer sang "Happy Birthday" to Tyson, the lead singer of AAR. He came out and gave him a hug, which was pretty cool. :) They sang about 5 songs and were off. Next was STG. I had known some of their songs and decided to learn the rest of their songs about two weeks before the concert. They were awesome live! The new female singer (yes, their third) did a great job! She was so energetic and enthusiastic on stage. She really made this part of the concert for me. I was sad when they had to leave, but quickly moved on when AAR came out. They were also very energetic. When I would try to take a video it was difficult because they make the crowd move so much. The floor was moving up and down!!! There was a short bit for Tyson's birthday. He was turning 25 and they brought him champagne (I think), a birthday cake and a tiara to wear. They start with new songs and throughout alternated between new and old songs (They even went as far as to sing Paper Heart and Swing, Swing!!) After the show they came out and gave all kinds of free things out. I had already left the area, so I wasn't able to get anything (T.T) but it was fun watching them give things to others. It was an awesome concert and I would love to see them live again!

After a long night I woke up dehydrated with a head ache and went to another concert! In may family we would say a phase in this situation: That is the way it is done! Meaning: You party long and hard, but get up in the morning to get stuff done. ^^ After breakfast I did my laundry and went to the Spring Concert. I was there nice and early to be able to receive the free stuff, which included a water bottle, a shirt, a "chia" pet and all kinds of free treats. I was there the entire time, and was able to take many pictures. The bands were all very good! I was especially impressed by Just Surrender and Rehab. They were all very energetic and fun! I wouldn't mind seeing them again. ^^

I hope everyone had a great time today and that your weekend somewhat relaxing (I know that chance is slim since the end of the semester is coming, but here's to hoping). I have only a few more blogs before the end of the semester so post and start some discussions!!!
Merry Meet and Farewell for now!!!
