Ten Five Favorite Performances (in no particular order):
(ten is too many for the amount of shows I saw this year I think.)
* Cobra Starship on the Ridiculously Good Looking tour. I met a bunch of my favourite girls that night and it was a great show ta boot!
*Panic etc on the Honda Civic Tour. First time on barrier ever, awesome Panic set w/ awesome view of Jon Walker, plus I feel in love with Phantom Planet!
*Warped '08. Despite the horrimusing sunburn and crazy ass pits it was awesome to spend the day with my girls and spen the day listening to great music.
*KTCL's Not So Silent Night. Best Show of the YEAR! Barrier for FALL OUT BOY and TAI!
*Fall Out Boy's Fuse Special. I gotta to fly to Chicago to see the dancing bears, how is that not awesome?!!
