"I'll there for you
to help you through
because I have confidence
and you should to"
Heres the story as best as I can put it.
Driving Time : 6+ hours
Miles (total) : 578
Wednesday Night
it looks like its just going to be me, andrew, and jason going--because Chris not only had to get his shift covered, but also find a place for his sister to stay. Well, Chris comes running to me, and he's coming :) .
Thursday
its game time. Left Jason's house around 1:30 ish for the drive. I have a new love for highway driving, espically on highway 20. Anyways, we stop at Taco Bell for lunch, the cashier lady was a bitch, and took a 5 minute potty break. So, we get to my sister's pad around 5ish. We just chill and she gives us weird directions to Lokal Loudness. We find our way there, after going through the slums, where I swear someone had stolen my bike. But, on the topic of Lokal Loudness. Like Swayzes..its a dump...unlike Swayzes...they actually made it a nice looking dump. It had some pretty cool metal welding shit in there. The concert itself was insane. On Broken Wings was freakin killer, and same with Most Precious Blood. Then...(now for the big part which gets its own paragraph)
Evergreen Terrace
So, we spent the night looking for andrew (vocals) and we are getting worried because we haven't seen him at all. But...hes here. So these boys get ready to roll, and you can feel the anticipation in the pit, it was excelent. They led off with some 80's song, then into everyones favorite, No Donnie, These Men are Nihilist. So they keep playing electric song after song such as: dogfight, new friend request, burned alive by time,...now it gets interesting. They started playing Zero and it got to the part "emptiness is lonliness..." and the workers at Lokal Loudness cut their power. So ET starts bitchin at em, making jack-off motions...and apparently, Lokal Loudness cut their power because too many people were rushing the stage/climbing on people/crowd surfing/moshing/having a good time. Andrew then says the funniest thing when he gets power. "So your telling me you dont want these kids to have fun? Its times like these you know the terrorists have already won". They continue with their set, and end on Dear Livejournal. Then began the screams of One More. And they do (how respectful). One more song = Sweet Nothings Gone Forever. After they played I got lucky and started talking to the Lead Guitar/backup vocals Craig. He got the rest of the band to sign my shirt. So, now i got another shirt to add to the retired wall(which includes For Death and Glory, Bury Your Dead, and now Evergreen Terrace). We drive home, all sweaty. Get home, take showers, go to bed.
Friday
Wake up friday morning to the BEST breakfast. I mean we are talking eggs, biscuits, sausage, and coffee--life is good. We say goodbye and thanks to my sister for dealing with us and we head out. Drove home, and now im here. Gotta work 545-11. All in all, this was an excelent trip and I enjoyed every minute of it.
To leave you all on this note. Im not working tomorrow (Saturday) so call me if you wanna do something. 770 789 6624. Peace bitches.
