18 hours of sleep later...
OK the swelling went down in my legs! YAY! I think that was a result of sitting for WAY too long. But yes, the concert was AMAZING! Well worth everything that went on before hand
Friday night we couldnt find our train tickets. Just before i started crying and Joe was getting ready to prep his mind for an insane drive... we found them. Apparently I brought them into the house and forgot Breathing a sigh of relief, we all try to get some sleep, but by then its 11 PM and I know if i take my one pill (like i am supposed to) I WILL NOT get up at 5 AM. this pill when it finally knocks me out has me out cold for +10 hrs a night, So I stayed up and said "I'll sleep on the train!"
Fast forward to the train (Cause nothing happened, I was playing WoW xD) We got on it, and I was excited cause I love Amtrak, and have since I was a kid. This was my first time ever riding on one! Trip was rather quiet, except us weirdos sightseeing and having fun like that. We heard conversations from a few people around us who were going too
We get into the City and despite me using the facilities on the train a few times, my sis and I had to use the ladies room in Grand Central. Our first encounter with the police there xD There was a bum (male) in the womens rest room
We finish with that and head up to the surface for... FRESH AIR! compared to the train, trust me this was fresh (the train wasnt bad, just recycled air for 8 hours gets dull. We walked around MSG once so I could get my bearings. Stopped at Boarders cause my sister wanted a book for the trip home, and I stopped at the 3 story Kmart to (get lost) and find some personal products that i forgot at home (yea bad time to forget them xD). By now it was 4:30 and we were hungry. Lets go to TGI Fridays for dinner! We know where that is.
I was ordering my normal, Sizzling Chicken and Cheese (minus the onions and peppers) and... wow the prices were insane xD Over here the Chicken and Cheese is $12. there it was $23! We ate slowly, and I basically told myself for that price I am eating it ALL in one sitting. Sadly Carrie and Joe didnt like their food (Joe had no appetite, and Carries was too spicy for her). Mine was perfect, even if i DID burn the roof of my mouth on the cheese xD
By now its nearing 6, so we figured we'd go stand in line now. We walk halfway around MSG again so we can find where we are supposed to go. and get in line. EVERYONE is super excited. We get filmed a few times too. They start letting people into the actual MSG around now in medium sized groups, so the lines going pretty good. We didnt have anything to inspect so we went through the checkpoint FAST. We didnt even bother looking at the shirt stands cause they were MOBBED, we figured we'd look later, and if not we'd go online xD
Everyone is standing in the vestibule waiting for the doors to open, its crowded. Five minutes to 7 someone said "OHH five minutes" Next thing i know its a BUM RUSH! Human chain time xD we get in to where we have to go, and use the facilities again, go find our seats and HOLY CRAP GOOD SEATS! I'd have been happy if they were ants, and I just got to HEAR them but nope! we had a good angle and were able to see fairly well!
Combichrist came on. And...meh. I wasnt too thrilled at their music. Too loud and we could barely understand them. They played for 30 minutes.
Time for Rammstein to set up! Its 8:30. Every time there was a sound check the crowd would go WILD. At 9:00 on the dot the lights went out and the crowd went into a frenzy. They teased us for a good 2-3 minutes before coming out in a grand way. Breaking out of walls and using a metal cutting tool to cut out an opening in the center.
I cant even describe the entire concert. It was just a LOT of yelling the lyrics, screaming, clapping and elation to FINALLY see the band I've loved since high school, in person!
They even played my most favorite song at the end! I think America showed them JUST how big a fan base they have. Cause at the end of Engal they did an old renaissance show of piety that had me in near tears.

around 6:00 you can see the start of it, and you will understand what i mean. I was speechless. Humbled.
I was dead tired. couldnt hear and could barely talk xD Time to mill around until 10 AM Sunday xD We saved money by no getting a motel >>;; Shhh. We dozed and loitered in Grand Central for the whole night. Went across the street to McDeaths at sometime around 2 AM for some food, and came back. No one bothered us, and it was warm (if a bit uncomfortable), the train ride home was also uneventful, i slept for a good chunk (I felt soooo bad for those around me, cause i snore xD), and getting home was really nice. quiet buffalo, city of LIGHTS! (it was pitch black for the last 2 hrs of the ride) We took my sister home, unwound and, died on the bed xD
I slept from 11 PM until around 5 PM xD IT WAS SO WORTH IT!
We found out today that the shirts we were going to try to get sold out right away, so we are just going to hit up the store online when it restocks xD We also found out that the MSG concert? IS GOING TO BE ON DVD! So i can relive it! EEEE!!!!
I did get one small souvenir from the trip to go on my fridge My sister picked me out a cute NYC magnet (that ironically still has the Two Towers on it)
Sometime tomorrow I think I will find a store to get my pictures developed, and I will try to scan and upload them ASAP. that concert. MADE MY DECADE!
