Update
Hey there! How's it going? Good weekend? Mine was great... well last night was 'cause as you know (if you read friday's post) I went to the Blindspott concert! It was so awesome, they tore the place up! Lol. Okay, here's a run down of how it went... I'll try to keep it short. I wasnt sure of the exact location but I knew the street, which isnt too far from where I live, so I just walked there. I actually was one of the first people there. Anyway, more and more people arrived and we all waited for the gates to open, which they were supposed to at 8:00 pm but did at 8:15. I got in pretty quickly 'cause I was one f the smart ones that bought their tickets before-hand, lol. The place was pretty cool, I think it's usually a night club. They were selling T-shirts but sadly I didnt have enough money to buy one, boo. So I went directly where the stage was and got myself a good spot right up front, heh. Oh, and this concert wasnt just Blindspott but three other bands. I have no idea what they're called... I think they're newcomers... let's call them band A, B and C. Anyway, it went like this:
-8:30 : Band A gets on stage, they had everything set up so they pretty started right away. Seven guys... two singers, two guitars, bass guitar, keybord and drums. They were alright... couldnt understand what they were saying very well because their mics werent loud enough. Oh yeah, for the last song one of the guys was like "we're shooting the music video for it tonight so if you wanna be in it, you better move it" and that's when people really started jumping like mad and pushing, lol. Heh, wonder if I'm in it... that would be cool.
-8:50 : Band A finished. Time to set up the stage for Band B.
-9:00 : Band B gets on stage and they do their thing... again, bad microphone setting. But at least, you can jump and bang your head along with the music, lol. Oh! And the lead singer crowd-surfed too... twice! He just jumped in the crowd. I actually carried him... first time I get to do that, pretty cool.
-9:30 : Band B finished.
-9:40 : Band C started. They were pretty cool. Crazy stuff still going on in the crowd... people trying to shove their way through to the front while I push them back to keep my spot. Oh, haha... okay, see there's this balcony type thing where you could watch the concert from... with seats too. At one point the singer looks up and says "hey, what the f*ck are you doing up there?! Get down here you sissies!" or something like that. Then he looks back at us in the crowd and says "alright, I want you all to turn around and give them the finger!!" haha, so everyone did just that... heh, that was cool.
-10:10 : Band C finished. Oh yeah, singer threw a couple of CDs in the crowd... their first single released I think. I didnt get one... ah well.
-The set up for Blindspott was kinda long. 10:30 came along and still no Blindspott on stage. People started to get impatient and started yelling "Blindspott! Blindspott!". And then, at around 10:40 (yeah, it was that long), the stage got dark... smoke started coming out. Above the stage, there was a screen where they projected some random images... well, some of them appeared in the 'Yours Truly' video so everyone recognised them... and yeah, everyone screamed. Then you could hear an alarm sound... like the one before and air strike (if you've seen the Silent Hill movie, like that one). Then they got on stage and kicked things off immediatly with 'PMF' as the intro then fading into 'Yours Truly' it was awesome! They played 'Blank', 'Lit Up', 'Drown', 'Coma', 'Mind Dependency', 'SUIT', 'Stay', 'For This Love', 'Room To Breathe', 'Cave In'... which pretty much kicked ass and everyone went wild. But they also played the slower paced songs like 'Lull' and 'Phlex' and everyone sang along, it was great. They finished with 'IV' as the outro then left the stage... but then everyone yelled "encore!" and after a short while they came back and Damian (singer) was like "you want some more?", everyone screamed. Then he said "okay, we'll do one more... which one do you want?" and most people said "Nil By Mouth!" and that's what they played. And since it was the last song, everyone made sure to go even wilder, it was awesome. At one point, Damian came right above the crowd, kneeled down and started to lean in and eventually was crowd surfing. And yes, I was carrying him too, woot! And then the song ended. Before leaving the stage, the band members came to the front and gave handshakes to front row people... and again, I was one of the lucky ones, heh.
-11:55 : Concert over.
And that's how it went. I didnt bring the digital camera because I didnt want to end up dropping it and breaking it or something... sorry. But! I did take a few photos with my camera-phone... wanna see? Of course you do, lol. Excuse the small size and not'so-good quality of image tho.

Needless to say, I had a great time... I ended up sore all over and I think I lost a bit of my voice and hearing, lol... but it was so worth it. I got back home , took a shower, got on the computer a bit and went to sleep.
Ah, sorry about the long post... I should end it here. Oh yeah, I put Blindspott's 'Mind Dependency' up. Enjoy.
Well, have a great day everyone!
Shutting up.
