Oh man. This is going to be long. So great ready.

The show last night was amazing. sooo much fun.

Here is the review!


.the starting line/home grown/alister/early november/senses fail.
Senses Fail: Amazing. Soo much better then the first time i saw them open for Reggie. This crowd was amazing for them. Tons more people knew this band and were able to sing and scream along. This obviously hyped up the band because there was sooo much movement on stage. They played one of my favorite songs of there’s, 'Bite to Break Skin'. Needless to say during the breakdown of the song i did a little ‘hxc dancedance’ if you will. So much fun. There set was great. I can’t wait to see these guys again with Millencolin at the end of November.
GRADE: A+

Early November: My second or third time seeing these guys play, this was the best performance of them i have seen. They had a few technical buzzes in the start of the show, but blew right threw it and got back to the rock. They played a few new songs that were GREAT. They will also be back sometime in November so i will be at that show as well. I don’t think this band gets enough credit for what they do. Really well put together music if you ask me.
GRADE: A

Alister: Ah, the only band on the bill i have never seen live before. I was super happy with there show. They went threw a lot of lineup changes a while ago after there 'Last Stop Suburbia' album came out, so i was expecting something different then what was recorded on the album. Not at all, i guess they didn’t lose there two vocalists or found someone that sounds the same. There show was really good, and there stage presence reminded me a lot of Green Day. They played the song None of My Friends Are Punks witch is one there awesome songs. Its really short, and REALLY fast. It was awesome watchin the drummer pound out the beat so fast. The floor had a nice huge circle pit going on during the song. It was tight. Id def go check there show out again if they come threw NC.
GRADE: A-

Home Grown: My second or third time seeing these guys as well. So much fun to watch play. There were no Asian jokes this time! I was let down! They played threw all the songs i wanted to hear plus a few i didn’t think they ever played live. Another good happy punk band. Good show.
GRADE: A-

The Starting Line: This may sound sad, but this was the 6th time i have seen these guys play. I just DONT get bored with them! Every time i see them its something new and great. The one song i NEEDED to hear; Three's A Charm they played. I was soo fucking happy. That is one of my favorite songs of there’s. There set was amazing. They surprised me and played Make Yourself At Home off there upcoming EP titled Make Yourself At Home EP. It was just Kenny and Mike on stage during that song with two acoustic guitars, and the drum machine in the background. That song live was amazing, they jammed it out for a little bit to. They also played there cover of 'Im Real' witch is always fun. They played a two song encore. I am not afraid to admit that i frickin' love this band.
GRADE: A+

If you like this sort of music, you are OUT OF YOUR MIND if you skip out on this tour.
OVERALL GRADE: A+


.pre/post show stuff.
The show was sold out a few days ago.

Me, my sister[LoveleeVampire] and Andy got there about 2 hours before the doors opened. They was already about 20-30 kids outside waiting. So we were not the only freaks that early. haha.

We got in and hung out with Early Novemeber on the floor with Curtis[explorerfx4] and a friend of his. Curtis's friend goes to college with two of the guys in Early November, so that’s how that worked out. Got to talk to all the guys in that band for like an hour before the show started. Really nice people, we all chatted about the music scene and just anything. Super easy to talk to.

After about an hour of hanging out and shit inside the venue the show started. It was already SUPER packed in the venue. The stage crew and sound guys did an amazing job with in-between bands. They got shit set up SO fast. Very nice work to the CatsCradle and the bands Tech people.

There were TONS of little teeny bopper girls who got owned during Senses Fail, it was funny. I would say the average age there last night was 16-19. There were at least two DIRTY ASS SLUTS at the show. Why do i say that? Because they were wearing skirts, and crowd surfing. Wait, why is that sick? Yeah, that’s all they had on, Skirt and a shirt. That’s right, nothing under that skirt. People were sticking there hands up to push them along the tops of people, and pulling down there hands as fast as possible as they noticed what i noticed, no underwear. Fucking dirty whores. EW.

I don’t know if you already know or not but from The Starting Line has Vertigo[The sensation of dizziness. An instance of such a sensation. A confused, disoriented state of mind.] He was in the hospital for like the last two days because of it, but played the show last night for us and seemed fine. He is a trooper if I have ever seen one. You could sort of tell he wasn’t 100%. But he rocked out wonderfully. Wish him the best!

Lots of hot girls that i would never have a chance with.

I saw the amazingly awesome Amy[amysings12] there and finally got to give her the Koufax albums i told her i would burn for her a million years ago. w00t, i got some hug action from the albums. SWEET. I need to burn her more things so I can get some more action. Heck yeah. Pete aka English was also at the show. Also meet up with Josh Brewer and Daniel Sigmon along with a friend of there’s at the show. Plus a bunch of other people who I can never remember there names. They are more like ‘show’ friends. Kids I only see at shows. Know what I mean? Kinda like in Fight Club when they talk about single serving friends. haha

After the show i got my sister pictures with some of the guys in Early November and Kenny from Starting Line.

I did something really cool, and im so glad i did it. Before the show, i burnt Kenny from the Starting Line a CD with a bunch of unreleased Glassjaw stuff. I know he is a huge huge fan of there’s, so i figured he would like it. When i saw The Starting Line on the warped tour this summer, i saw Kenny on stage in the background during Glassjaw’s set singing all the songs. I was really surprised; i then read an interview somewhere where he said how big of a Glassjaw fan he is. So the Glassjaw CD i made had there Demo from there 'Don Fury' sessions, demos from Worship and Tribute, some B-sides, and the acoustic show they did at an Apple store not to long ago. I am sooo happy i did it. I pulled Kenny aside and told him what i made him. Man, his eyes light up like no other! He was sooo happy. He kept saying thank you thank you your awesome man thanks a lot you didn’t have to do that. Stuff like that. It felt good. Got a little high five/hand shake/hug thing from him. haha i bet you girls are sooo jealous now. BOOYAH! hahahah awwwwwwwww

Check my sisters[LoveleeVampire] journal for when she post's the pictures she took, im sure she will soon. I took 27 pictures with some crappy ass disposable camera because i wanted to get rid of it, so when i get the pictures back, ill scan the good ones and post them for everyone.

Yup, that’s that for that. Don’t you think? :)

Today I worked 11 to 3. Lame ass hours huh? It’s like why did I even go to work today? Haha went by in a second. So hell yeah.

I have the pictures from my sister that I posted about not to long ago; I will make another entry sometime tonight and post them. This is enough for now.

Until tonight friends...<3
