Top 5 best 2008 concert moments:

2) John Oh going "I remember you" to Kyla and then turning to me and going "I remember you too!"
3) Trying to make dinner plans with Houston Calls, but security kicking us out.
4) Sitting on the speaker right in front of Matt T. during Relient K.
5) Slade playing "Anatomy" acoustic outside of the Plano Centre.
Idk it's late and that's all I can think of. I'm sure there's more.
Top 5 worst 2008 concert moments:
1) The crowd at Silverstein/The Devil Wears Prada
2) As Cities Burn canceling Monster Mosh and not knowing till I got there.
3) Stupid scene kids coming up and bothering Slade while he's trying to play Anatomy.
4) Douchey HOB security everytime.
5) The homeless guy coming up to Kyla, Chelsey, myself, and Pat Kirch. (Okay that wasn't bad, but it's creepy).
