Best. Concert. Ever.
Rachel and I needed to get a few things done before we left at 2, so we left school early. We went to the bank and Best Buy and grabbed a bite to eat. After fifth hour, we picked Ike up at his house. Then we took him to the bank. I hadn’t slept very well the night before, so I was in serious need of a nap. Ike and I had had an intense best two out of three Rock, Paper, Scissors contest that morning to decide who got the back seat on the way home. He beat me, dang it. Anyways, that meant I got the back on the way there, and that was fine by me because that way I could get my nap on the way there. Rachel’s mom got home around 1:45, and we left as soon as her friend that was also going with us got there. I fell asleep right away in the car, and I didn’t wake up until we got there. The doors opened at five, and we got there at four, so we decided to go to this restaurant/bar place we always go to before concerts. Ike was hungry, so we all decided to get food. I got a salad, Rachel got mozzarella sticks, and Ike got a French dip. Rachel and I ordered sprites, and they tasted like chalk. When we asked the waiter about it she said she thought the diet sprite might have accidentally got hooked up to the regular sprite, so we got Pepsi’s instead. They were pretty good. It took a while for our food to come, so by the time we were done eating, it was already five. We didn’t have to wait outside at all which was good because it was freezing out.
The first two bands, This Time Next Year and Sparks the Rescue, were ok. I wasn’t overly impressed. The next band was Fireworks. I wasn’t aware they were playing there. They were really good. I think this is due in part to the fact that they had a lot of fans in the audience, so people got more into it. At one point, a guy jumped on my back, causing Ike and I to bump heads, and me to see stars for a second. The next band was There for Tomorrow. There was nothing wrong with the way they played or anything, I just didn’t really like them. Finally, Hit the Lights came on. And guess what? I was in the FRONT ROW baby! YEAH!! It rocked, everyone went crazy, and I really enjoyed myself. I know all the words to most of their songs, so I got really into it. At one point, Nick Thompson, the lead singer, was right in my face! I sort of forgot the words to the song he was singing for a second, because I was in awe of Nick. They put on a great show. It just rocked in general. Oh, and we’ve decided Ike is a permanent fixture in our concert trips. It was an interesting experience having him along! Can’t wait until the next one guys!
