chassitSo, this post has been coming up, but I've been either tired or distracted or whatever, so now is the time!
On Monday, I woke up with sore feet, an aching butt, and a stiff back. I was exhausted and kind of wired.
Why, I hear you ask? Because I went to a Paramore concert.
First of all, I partly went because Tegan & Sara were playing too. I like Tegan & Sara and knew more songs by them, so they were the main people I wanted to see.
We got our tickets from Ticketmaster, which lead to a problem in and of itself. We thought that we'd already had the tickets, but it turned out that they were e-mailed to us later on, when we halfway there. So we frantically searched for some place that would let us print out the tickets. We finally found a Staples, and they told us that they would print it out, if we could forward it to them.
Mom's blackberry finally came in handy - she was able to get to the e-mail and forward it to them. We finally got it printed out, and we headed to see our relatives before we went to the concert.
Well, we hadn't seen for ages and ages. So when we were up there, we went to see them. Dolores and Dorothy. Dolores was sick, though, and we didn't stay long because we didn't want to bother her or anything. After we left there, we found our way to the concert.
It was about six when we showed up, and we found our seats after I got a temporary tattoo and a shirt. We had pretty good seats, and for a while we listened to music that wasn't by the bands, but was still pretty good, that was playing on the screen on the stage.
Finally, though, the bands came on stage. First was Kadawatha, fairly new band, from Sweden. Then was New Found Glory, and I liked them too. Pretty good.
After New Found Glory, though, there was a short intermission, and we had a couple of guys come and say that we were sitting in their seats. It turns out we were - and we had better seats, but we hadn't had any idea. So when Tegan & Sara came on, we were a lot closer.
I stood up for when Tegan & Sara came on, and sang for most of their songs. I knew at least a few of them, so I sang along when I could. I was also the only person in our general section doing that, so when Sara looked in my direction and smiled, I'm positive it was me she was smiling at. Postive.
Paramore, though, they were amazing. Hayley Williams had an incredible energy onstage, a great voice, and the entire audience was standing up when they came on. For the first time in my life, it was like I was someplace where everyone had something in common.
After it was all over, we tried to find a Denny's to eat at, but we ended up eating at TGI Friday's, because we couldn't find one. Friday's was still good.
But you know? My first concert was awesome.
