Monty Weekend '06 - Day 1
So, Thursday (10-19-06) kind of started off bad.
One of Heather's tires blew so she had to wait basically all day for that to be fixed.
I ended up having to take the bus to Providence.
The show started at 7:00, so we knew that we probably weren't going to make it in time.
I got up to Providence around 4:50.
Her and Amanda picked me up, and we went to get Heather's car.
Then we had to drop off her moms truck and go to Boston.
We didn't get to the Avalon until 7:30, right after Monty's set had ended.
We got there, and met up with some people.
We went and watched Greeley Estates set, which was great. That was the night that I fell in love with Ryan, the lead singer of Greeley. <3
This is Ryan. (This picture was taken at Toad's Place on Oct. 21st, not at the show in Boston on Oct. 19th)
We didn't stay in the crowd for the entire set though, we headed to the back.
Then we hung around out by the merch tables until Anberlin came on, and then headed back to the room that the show was in.
Anberlin was amazing.
After their set ended, Me, Hannah, and her two friends headed up to the front for SOTY.
We ended up like, 6 rows back in the center. We could hardly see.
SOTY came on.
Hannah and I ended up being pushed to the left side of the stage, and I eventually got to the barrier.
They played "Is This My Fate, He Asked Them," and I went fucking crazy.
They came back on and played a cover of "Enter Sandman."
Steve (Monty) came out and played guitar for that song.
They did a great job covering that song.
After their set, we stuck around for a little while and took pictures with Steve and stuff.
Me, Steve, Heather, and Andrea
Boston was a ton of fun. But def. not as good as the 2 nights to follow it....
