I know, I know! You're always telling me not to do things like that, but I never listen!

No, I was just dumb and after the encore I was like yo let's sprint to the door so we don't have to get stuck. And we ran so fast that we didn't notice that everyone else in the entire building was still waiting for the second encore.

That's because R.E.M. didn't give us one...and neither did BNL, so you're not USED to encores, never the less SECOND encores.

But they played FOUR SONGS for their second encore? Jesus.

...oh, and yeah, get yourself checked boy!!

Is four a lot or a little? I think a lot, right? But, yeah, people were cheeeering. It was funny, there was an irish family behind us, and the father got drunk and it just...could not GET anymore stereotypical.

Yeah, exactly. There was no precedent for a second encore! I thought I was genius, too. "Yo, let's sprint out before everyone else does." And I did it so fast I didn't have time to realize that...no one else was...moving.

Already did. It's a maybe.

-chuckles- A maybe, eh? Well, good luck with that then.

Four is A LOT. Weren't you at MSG? Gee-ZZZZZZZUUUUUUS. Even so, the most I've gotten is two songs for the second encore. HOLY CRAP. At MSG. That's insane.

But it's okay, because now you'll have this story to tell...er....and now you know that waiting is okay!..too...yeah...

I love the cheering, and I love how my claps sound insignificant. Which is weird, I know.

Yeah, that is a lot, I guess. They didn't start playing until 9:30 because Keane played until 9 and it took a half hour for them to set up the stage. It wasn't that long for REM, was it?

I found out Ican whistle loud enough that it works! But clapping is cool, too, yeah, how it blends in.

Keane was actually really good. But, much like the large strange looking lady at the REM concert, I got really impatient. Although Keane was much better than her. I rather remember hating her.

Nah, it wasn't that long. I want to say it was about 10 or 15 minutes. Butterfly something or other. Man, no, she wasn't cool!! Well, in comparison to R.E.M.

How long did Keane play for? Jeez.

Whistling... Yeah, I can't whistle (well).

The played for a whole hour. From 8-9. It was really long. Really good. I liked it a lot, the lead singer's great and the pianist was freakin INSANE, I loved it. He was going crazy on the bench. I think I would go crazy, though, too, if I were making music. Because, like, look how people get LISTENING, could you IMAGINE being right in front of the speakers and MAKING it? Whoo.

She had really big hair.

LOL. She did have really big hair. My dad used to go crazy on the keyboards too, but I don't think he did handstands or anything.

An hour? Wow. It's been a long time since I've had an opening act. Seriously, the past... three concerts, BNL BNL and Slaid.. no one has had opening acts. Well, in the city, BNL had this choir come sing but that was at most for like, 25 minutes...

"look how people get LISTENING"

"being right in front of the speakers and MAKING it?"
