7/13/06 Dashboard Confessional Gibson Amphitheater
The Dashboard Confessional concert was absolutely AWESOME. Chris Carrabba does not disappoint. His sexiness just resonated throughout the concert. Just standing there with his guitar looking into the crowd was a big turn on. I mean, that's how power that man is. =) The highlights of the concert were definitely Screaming Infintelities, Vindicated, and Hands Down. AH, HANDS DOWN! It was beautiful, BeAUTIFUL!
I've been reading in the Dashboard forums that if we go to the tour bus after the show, we might have a chance to meet Chris. So, Lena and I went over to that direction after the concert and was at the top of hill. At the bottom of the hill was the tour bus, but we had to have backstage passes to go down there. So we met these two people who also wanted to meet Chris and the guy had the idea of going into the bushes and then going down the hill (they wouldn't let us go down the stairs to the bottom cause we didn't have passes). So we actually did that, but the hike down would've been scary, life-threatening, and also possibly get us into a lot of trouble. So we stood at the stairs for about half an hour or two making nice to the security guards so that they'll let us in, but the rule was pass = no in. So then, Lena and I tried to have conversations with people who came up the stairs and ask them if we could have their backstage pass. We finally got a pair but unfortunately, by the time we tried the security guards again, the people down there said to not let any more people down. We were close--only so many steps closer to meeting the true McDreamy.
I read in the forums when I got home later, that people in the band came out to do meet and greets but Chris didn't come out cause he said that we was sick, so in the end it was just not meant to be. =)
By the way, Say Anything sucks! And Ben Lee was pretty entertaining and down to earth. =)
List of events/Concerts to come:
Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it.
