So, on saturday I went to the benifit concert at St. Andrews...
my friend Brie was there, so we hung out for a few hours... and we got bored, so we left :p hahah. the concert started like a minute before my dad got there, so oh well. we went back to my place, and talked about some stuff, then went on the computer, and around nine PM decided we'd go to the concert at the factory. coool, so we got there, and So Let Go! ( i know, i go to all their shows, get over it.) was there already, me and Brie chatted a little with the guys River, Austin, Paul, and Matt brought some equiment in to the venue. oooh, and Hillary was there, so we talked to her too :) then, after the doors being open for like, five minutes and us being completely unaware, we decided to go in... I've been to the Factory before, for Push Play, but tonight it was even more crowded, and there were way more guys at the show then girls. On the agenda for the night was Seven Story Fall, So Let Go!, Halfway to Winter, and some other bands, that I don't remember... haha. Seven Story Fall started around 10 -ish, they were prettyyy good. I had listened to 'em before so it was sorta ironic seeing them in concert now, without knowing they were playing beforehand. after they were done, Brie, Hillary, Lane, Autumn, and a few others of us talked while SLG loaded in their stuff. fun fun fun. sooooooo around 10:45 ish so let go started... and Brie had to be home by 11 ish, so it was getting close. They played their usual set. The Breakdown, Timmy's Arcade Wonderland, Under City Lights, Jenny, Spaceships and Airplanes. :] it was defffff their best show yet. they did incredible, it was so much fun.
(JENNY!)
you can see me. haha.
when they were done me and brie congrated them on an amazing show, gave hugs, and stuff. :) thennnnnn, Halfway to winter went on, buttt me and brie could only stay for the first song :[. they did realllyyy good on that one song though ;D
all in all it was a lot of funnnnnnnnn! <3
so, GO TO MY CONCERT ON THE 19TH!!!!!!! ;)

J-J-J-J-JENNY!
This weekend I went to two concerts. ha, that's a usual these days.
The first one was friday, black friday! yes, as most people go shopping on black friday, I go to concerts..... haha, I'm normal. ;)
so me and alix get to static age like 4 minutes before they open the doors. and no ones was there. so we wait four minutes, and like 20 people show up... It was random. ha, so we get in, and the dude wouldn't let alix in at first cause she had a 20 and he didnt have change. hahaha. so i was first in the venue ;) sorry, im lame like that. uhm, so yea, me and alix just chilled for like 30ish minutes, then the first people started setting up. Kodiak Era. I had sorta listened to them before, I mean, they dont have anything recorded, but they have a few youtube videos on their page, so I heard those... but alix and I really came for our guys, So Let Go! ;). So, we saw Matt, and said hi, and he's random and randomly talked to us a few times... ha, and Kodiak Era started. They were pretty good. River came over, and I bought two tickets from him for the Sunday show, for my friend who wanted me to buy her tickets... Alix wanted to sit down, so we went to the stools. And we said hi's to Austin, Natalie, Reece, and Paul. yea. I still wanted to listen to Kodiak Era, they were good. haha. uhm, so for their last song we went back up. they were good. k, so then, I thought So Let Go! was going.. but then Quiet Coyote went. so then we listened to them. They were acoustic, and quiter, and sorta hard to hear, but they were alright. after them was So Let Go!. hahah, they something was wrong, and it took 'em like 45 minutes to set up, which was long.... hah. then they started. It was pretty good. They played their four songs. I recorded Spaceships and Airplanes, but it's on alix's camera.... i'll get it on youtube eventually, along with like 40 other videos we've taken at concerts. ;) mmmm. so after they played they left, and me and alix hung around somemore. we listened to the next band play, i dont exact remember their name... but they were decent. we got kinda bored and went across the street to the gas station. I was getting pretty flat, so i bought a vitamin water. it didnt help all that much. we went back inside the venue, and i was like extremely low on the blood sugar. :p then i called my mom to pick us up. we went outside, and there was this dude eating pizza. and i was like, "oh dude, you can't do that to me." and he was like "ohh, you want it?" and i was like "ah, i do, but it's yours." and he's like, "i think i can spare one piece." soooo i got pizza. that made me better. we started talking, and it happened to be Andrew from Kodiak Era. He was really cool. he was with his manger or something. and we just chatted. he remembered accepting me on myspace... weird. haha. and some other stuff, like how i'm a musician too, and about smoking and how it's bad for you, hahahaha. and then this other band member came over and gave me a sticker. yea. it was cool. then my mom showed up, and we got home at like. 11:52. :p
