   HAPPY!!!
My very first concert, and it was the coolest thing I've ever been to in my life. Lessee, Mest and Goldfinger opened. I greatly dislike Mest. If you're going to cuss so much, can't you at least be creative? And they told us to stand, and jump, and all that crap, but they never once said "please". If you don't say "please" I'm not doin' anything. So there. Grr.
Er, Goldfinger was just...interesting.
Ah, but GC made it all worth it. They were talking about how good it was to be home (Baltimore, MD; close enough), and they were yelling out Waldorf, and Baltimore... and then Silver Spring! Out of all the small towns they chose Silver Spring! I feel so sepsal! I'm from Silver Spring, by the way. I think the three of us (Lisa, Catherine, and me) were one of, oh....4 groups of people screaming for that. Oh well.
Then a friend of the band (Rick) came out with his girlfriend (Rachel) and proposed to her on stage. She was crying and then she said yes, and it was all just so sweet!
And during the song "The Day That I Die" (definitely one of my favorites), they were talking aobut how dying isn't sad, it's happy, so we had to sing it happily. Then Lisa started screaming "HAPPY!" at the top of her lungs, during this almost silence. That's Lisa.
Catherine decided to wear her chains on her pants, and while we were being admitted, the guy in front of us had to take off his chains and put them in his car or something, so Catherine had to tuck her chains in. Then someone said, "No cameras, you can't bring cameras in!" Catherine had two, and so she gave one to Lisa's mom and stuffed the other down her bra. Someone really didn't want her to be there.
The mosh pit was very entertaining. First of all, when it finally started (Mest came out), everyone in the mosh just rushed forward, like one single being, or water. It was kinda scary. Then this little circle of doom popped up, and everyone in it was just smashing into each other. The crowd surfers were especially interesting to watch, cuz sometimes their head would suddenly drop down and their feet would fly up in the air. The scariest thing about it was that Lisa saw like a ten-year-old girl in the mosh. Poor kid...
Quotes derived from last night: "Hi, Billy, I'm Billy, and I look like Billy." "See this? See this bruise? Billy did that." "I know lots of Henries, but none of them are real..." (I did that one! Oh yeah! Go me!)
Now I think I will die, as the cramps in my calves are finally beginning to set in. Ugh.
