Concert and other shenanigans
Apr. 1st, 2011 02:50 pmTHERE IS A REASON MCR IS MY FAVORITE BAND.
THEY ARE PERFORMERS.
THEY ALL LOOKED AMAZING.
AND MIKEY HAD A SHINY GUITAR. WITH RHINESTONES. (Or something similar, I wasn't close enough)
AND I WISH I COULD HEAR FAMOUS LAST WORDS LIVE ALL. THE. TIME.
Non-capslock recap:
Long line outside when sister (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brinabean) and I got there, we weren't at the end for very long, though, and someone in a nearby apartment stuck speakers out the window and played MCR songs. Rushed to as far front as we could get which was probably about 12 feet away from the stage (not as good as 6 feet away like last time, but I'm small and can only do so much :> )
Crowed squished together during the opening acts: The Architects and Neon Trees! (Now a fan of Neon Trees!)
I was almost crushed multiple times but eventually people got bored of that and mostly stayed in one place. There wasn't much room to mosh, thankfully (I am fragile and avoid those like the plague.)
LOTS OF BRUISES AND BATTLE WOUNDS. AND CHUCKS REALLY ARE GOOD SHOES TO WEAR TO CONCERTS BECAUSE THEY PROTECT YOUR TOES!
Sucky thing: Girls with FREAKIN BIG HAIR. There should be a memo for girls going to rock concerts to wear low ponytails or something, I kept getting other people's hair in my face. Also, tall people. :(
BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE I JUMPED AROUND A LOT SO I HAD AN EXCUSE TO PUSH THEM OUT OF MY WAY. RARR.
MCR concerts are always an experience! Did songs from all albums and Planetary Go was SO MUCH FUN I CANNOT EVEN DESCRIBE. Hope they come around again soon!
After concert adventures:
Got on the wrong freeway after stopping to buy water for our dehydrated selves. But it was okay when we found out there was a junction coming up. Then we talked too much and missed it and ended up 15 minutes away and had to turn around.
THEN, something started making noise near the front right wheel and there was no place to pull over because of road construction and it was dark and I couldn't see what it was.
Finally found a bright parking lot in a safer town than Oakland and realized PART OF THE TIRE WAS COMING OFF.
Luckily, sister and I are awesome and know how to change a tire. NO TOW TRUCK FOR US. WIN.
Drove slow the rest of the way home and finally got back around 2am.
AND GOOD TIMES WERE HAD BY ALL.
(I should also mention that these sorts of things happen when me and sister are going somewhere. WE HAVE ACCIDENTAL ADVENTURES.)
