Concerts, Love, and Swift Kicks to the Face


So it's been nearly 24 hours since the massive Underoath concert extravaganza--and before you ask, yes, Underoath was amazing...but so was everyone else (with POS being the exception)

The show started out with a political pundit moonlighting as a rapper--this guy was a decent rapper but he was just in the wrong crowd--and we just couldnt get the guy to shut up about politics. We came for music not Election 2008.
Anyways..once his abnormally long set was done, The Devil Wears Prada was up

and they rocked so freakin hard it wasnt funny. I was 2nd row for the entire show and this band shredded it like noone's buisness. Simple. 

Then comes Saosin--please keep in mind im a little biased
Saosin was the first CD i ever bought so they hold a special place in my heart hahaha
so when i got to purchase a signed EP only available on tour with brand new songs, my night was made. The fact that Cove Reber and I were exchanging goofy faces the whole show def. helped. The only bad part--his mic was a little low. Their set was nice though because it was a needed break from the mayhem of TDWP and the mayhem of Underoath to come.

We waited for 30 minutes after Saosin (did i mention that Cove looks and acts like Jack Sparrow, ladies?) for Underoat to begin. When the did, my mind was blown. Their entry video and subsequent videos were amazing--very eerie and the def. kept with the end of the world theme of their new album. They rocked so hard it put everyone to shame--Spencer is an animal; he's finally come into his own and you can def. see the impact it has on the band. They played Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear, which is a personal favorite, along with som new and old material. Roy apprntly got trampled on, crowd surfers kicked my neck out of alignment and bashed my earrings out (so basically my ears bleed periodically now) and Spencer kicked me in the face. 

Yea...you could say the show was bad apples.

On another note, i def. miss jess--we've been away for what seems like a week and im glad i get to see her tommorrow--we're goin music shoppin + dinner+ ?
it'll be fun

Im gonna clean the dorm room--it looks like House of Blues- post underoath


which isnt a good thing

god bless
