Hooba-skanked it up!

I went to the damn coolest concert last night. Okay, so maybe it wasnt the coolest concert in existence, but it was soooo much cooler than i had expected. I went and saw Hoobastank with my dear friend Erin! We rocked it out so hard, we saw Dredge and Planet... astro? planet? something, shit. I knew one of their songs but i dont know their name... and i really liked their everything else. it was a sweet fuckin show. E and I packed ourselves in to the front before anyone even came on, and it was so tight and so hot. there were so many bodies sweating all over eachother. I rocked so hard through dredge, then even harder through the planet people. Right in the middle of their second to last song i realized that i couldnt catch my breath. I started getting really dizzy and seeing black in the side of my vision. I turned to Erin and said i was gonna try and get some air, and i turned to try and get out behind me, but everyone was surging forward and pushing and moshing and it was so packed and so hot. Erin said, "go forward, have security pull you out!" So i tried. I went forward and told the guy I had to get out or Id be sick. He said i had to go the other way. I fell out as I turned to go. I remember just slipping. I cant reacall much, cept that i had a little help and i next thing i remember was I was my feet over my head on the floor in front of the stage. Erin says the band stopped for me. I dont remember that, but how sweet anyhoo. Someone must have given me water, cause i somehow had some in my hand. I sat till the end of the set, and then walked out to the lobby and sat in the cool evening breeze. I was dreched clean through. I looked like id been playing in the rain. Its pretty gross if you think about it, but i felt GREAT and hot and wonderful. It was so much fun. I bought a few bottles of water and started chugging. When hoobastank was about to come on I made my way back to the front and gave E a bottle of water and a bottle of gatorade to the guy that had helped me out. So greatfull...

But then i made it back to an area where people were less packed together, yet I still couldnt move without touching someone else. Then I danced. I danced and hollered and thrashed and moshed all throught the rest of the concert. It was a beautiful thing. I was soaked all over again, just from making my way up to erin actually. but it was hot and beautiful. I loved it. I am such a concert freak. I love the people and the proximity and the dancing like no one else is there. Its an inhibition that i cant even get when im trying to dance alone to the radio or a cd. Its so much better.

And damn that guy was cut. mmm...

I met some cool people througout the night, just a person here or there to chat with between sets or someone to thrash and headbang with.

My body is angry with me today, and I love it.

So much more to say, but i am damn hungry. This entry is for concert update!

Hoobastank was so much better here than at the HP in SJ with Linkin Park.
