In which she saw TAI... last night and it was AWESOME

[solar_cat]

Last night, zeenell, psuedo_catalyst and I saw The Academy Is... in Portland, Maine, and it was maybe one of the best concerts I've been to. The venue was smaller than my apartment, and we were basically in the second/third row from the stage? Despite sitting with the parents for both of the openers. YEAH. Plus, we were on the Carden side of the stage, so I got to spend

I kind of just want to roll around in this post. EPIC WIN, LADIES. \o/

[solar_cat]

It was the best night ever, basically. \0/

Plus, from everything Bill was saying it seems like they're pretty committed to continuing to do smaller venue shows, which is awesome. (It seems like he likes small venues just as much as we do; I get the feeling he likes all the interaction with the audience that you don't get in big arena-style shows.)

That's awesome! Ughh, I just love that Mike is such a dork and the fact that they all seem to love each other.

[solar_cat]

They really do. You know how you can just TELL when people are really friends as opposed to just being friendly? It was like that. They're all just so clearly happy to be together, playing their music, and they're totally comfortable in each other's space. It's sort of sappy to say that it was heartwarming, but it really was. <3

hey--super sorry about your pics. I told you my picture-taking ability was extremely sucky.

Am so excited about mine! Thank you for taking them/posting them!

[solar_cat]

It's okay. Actually meeting Mike Carden > having pictures of Mike Carden. =DDD

I'm still all \0/ over everything. Boys! Music! MIKE CARDEN! *flail!*

[psuedo_catalyst]

I'm with you there! I'm still smiling enough that my face kind of hurts, not that that's going to stop me...

That sounds like such an awesome night! :DDD

Also, that membership card is completely adorable.

[solar_cat]

I seriously need to frame it or something. It can go on my wall next to my JoBros poster! XD

It was a ton of fun; I'm so glad we went!

~flails madly over this entire post~

~pauses for a break of extreme jealousy~

~flails madly some more~

[solar_cat]

I can zip up the other pics I got if you want? They're mostly blurry lame camera phone pics, so I wasn't gonna post 'em, but I wouldn't mind zipping them up if you want. *tries to alleviate the jealousy*

I knew I had to share my impressions with the internet, at the very least! <3

[akire_yta]

i am jealous because there is no way TAI would come all this way to play a club show (that said, CS ended up being a club show by default since we were only two rows out from the stage)

[solar_cat]

=( But that's cool about the CS show!

Here, have a zip: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TU7ODYLX

Like I said, the pics are mostly blurry and lame, but... Carden! \0/

HOLY FUCKING FUCK. I HAVE A STORY.

Okay, you.. don't know me. That's really clear. But I was fixing up a journal I made today, blah blah nuff bout myself, and got all bored and clicked on Cobra Starship in my interests because it was in bold and thus interesting to a person like myself.
And then I clicked on the most interesting userpic, thus being yours.
Then I clicked to get here.
I WAS AT THAT MOTHERFUCKING SHOW!

DID YOU SEE THE SHORT GIRL WHO WAS MAKING JOKES THE WHOLE TIME AND LAUGHING WITH PEOPLE?!

THAT WAS ME!

I'm done now.
