   The Concert
It was good. We ended up seeing Falling October, From First to Last, Hawthorne Heights, All American Rejects, and Fall Out Boy. (In that order)

We started out Tuesday morning. Varsi and her friend were suppose to pick me up at 8:30 but didn't get here until five after nine. We were running late and then Varsi had to stop at a rest stop. We finally made it to the hotel just after 2pm, after stopping at a Subway for a foot long sub each and a gas stop to grab some beer. I found it amusing that my aunt seemed devistated that they didn't have whine coolers. I told her I didn't care about drinking, but oh no, I had to have something. So she got me some Mike's hard berry lemonaid or something like that.

At the hotel we checked in and ate half of our subs. Half for lunch, half for dinner after the show. I had one of the lemonaid things and it was alright, but I'd rather have a whine cooler, they're more fruity! Varsi downed two beers and her friend finished one and we were back on the road.

We didn't get lost this time going to the concert, which was an improvement from our last trip to Ohio. We got there about 3:30 and stood in line until ten after six and we were let in the gate. I bought Casey a Fall Out Boy concert T-shirt from a scalper for 20 bucks before even getting inside. She said she wanted one so I hope I got her the right size and one she'll like. When we got inside I kinda wanted to go into the pit, but Varsi and her friend decided it was just too rough so we took a spot on the grass. The grass was nice because we could sit on it and it was nice and plush. I wanted to fall asleep on it. There wasn't a bad seat in the whole place, you could see basically wherever you sat which is why we love going to concerts in Ohio.

The concert didn't start til seven and I was still a little hungry. They had a White Castle in the place and I had never had White Castle before so I thought it would be a good time to try! Blah... they kinda suck. Of course they didn't have katchup anywhere and I like katchup with my hamburgers.

The concert ended up starting early at 6:30. Falling October amused me because the lead singer seemed to say fuck every other word. I don't mind swearing, I probably swear too much myself, so I'm not trying to say it was a 'AHHHH he said a bad word!' funny, it was 'I think he's trying too hard to swear' funny.

The bands were great! Lots of great music! Varsi and her friend made a friend with the lady sitting next to us. I did like being on the grass, but in the end I think I would have had more fun in the pit jumping around with everyone. Everyone on the grass were just kinda... standing there like drones. I think I somehow managed to get in the center of all the adults who were there just because they had to accompany their kids. I also think I would have had a better time if Varsi and her friend wasn't so drunk. They just kept buying more and more beer. At first they were funny, but after being asked the name of the band that was playing about 4 times within a minutes and being pinched hard in the shoulder each time they asked got annoying... fast.

I also think I got a bit of envy in me. Because Varsi had her friend they talked a lot of things that only the two of them knew about. Like stories of what they did as kids and stuff, so I could never join in. It made me a bit depressed. That and I just couldn't talk to them drunk either.

After the concert there were scalpers all OVER the place selling shirts for 10bucks so I picked Casey up another shirt. This one listed all the bands that played so that was cool. I also picked up a free Hawthone Heights CD that they were giving out.

It was rough getting out. And while we were waiting to leave there was these two people fight and to tell the truth I was getting a little nervous. But to my credit, that wasn't until AFTER stabbing was mentioned a few times. But eventually they stopped and went grumbling in differet directions.

Although what was funny is that we got lost again going back to the hotel. We took a wrong turn and after we had backtracked we almost missed the turn again because they were busy talking about masterbation. Yes. Masterbation. Why? Because the bass player in Fall Out Boy was talking about the video that got out on the web and shows him masterbating. ^^;; So yeah... they couldn't stop talking about it.

But all and all, the concert was great. Lots of fun!
