So last night I went to see Blink 182, (half of) Panic! At The Disco, and Fall Out Boy with my Summer Boy, and 29,998 other people! There was another opener that we missed, but since I don't remember their name I'm guessing it wasn't crucial. It was a lot of fun--the weather was nice, the music was good, the company was fun. Things of note:
-FOB sound KILLER live. They were probably my favorite band of the night. They did a cover of Don't Stop Believing with Brendon from Panic that was SO FUN.
-Panic was enjoyable but they, in my opinion, sound different live than they do on CD. There were a few songs I didn't think sounded great, but it was super fun regardless :D
***Direct quote from Panic via Brendon Urie: "We like fucking. Sometimes girls, sometimes each other..." I know there are people on my flist who will appreciate this!***
-Blink also sounded kind of different live. I couldn't really concentrate because by this point there were a TON of drunk people staggering around and it was making me a little uncomfortable.
-I also found someone's blackberry on the ground, and after the show, a very very grateful girl gave me 20 bucks and a giant hug for returning it! Which was nice, because of course I was going to do it anyway, but I am broke enough to not say no. So in a way this story does end with "And then I found $20", haha.
All in all a really great night! Also the tickets were free (a birthday present from SB's mom), and I just had a whole ton of fun. I love big concerts--there's something magical about that many people all gathered in one place for the same reason.
