(okay, not a fall out boy song but they played it over and over)
So last night was the Fall out boy concert.
It was awesome! for the most part anyways.
First thing we did was zip past all the traffic and head back stage to our VIP parking lot.
Then we went and I bought a t-shirt. :) I saw a hoodie that was really cool but those were $55 and I only had $40 so i just bought a FOB shirt.
The first band up was Cobra Starship and they were pretty good. I liked the guy's purple hoodie. It was almost impossible to take your eyes away because everyone just kept jumping around and stuff.
Then it was Paul Wall so we got up and went looking around. We were trying to find the radio station to see if Glenn was there but we found the radio station tent was outside the main gate and we werent allowed to re-enter so... We didn't see him though.
We went to look for my cousin and found her but she didn't recognize me which is weird but oh well.
Next up was The Academy Is... They were good too. Similar style to Cobra Starship. they both had the same trends going on - the "i just rolled out of bed" look.
Later was +44 and the lead singer let us know that The Academy Is... had the tightest pants of the whole tour.
+44 was not great other than Travis Barker who's a really good drummer.
Then while we were waiting for ages for Fall Out Boy to show up I FINALLY decided to head up to the tent where all the bands were going after their performances to meet the fans and then of course they were gone and FOB had decided to come out finally.
One thing I hadnt understood was that it's really Pete Wentz's band. Generally I imagine the lead singer to be the one to do all the talking and stuff but he didn't say much.
Fall out Boy was good too. Not like the bands they have to polish up on computers, they performed really well.
In between shows was this guy named Dirty. I have no idea who he was but everyone started screaming whenever they saw him so...
At one point he brought out this cannon and asked who wanted a free t-shirt.
I actually got up and waved my arms in the air and he shot two my way. My mom went for one and I went for the other but some girl in front of us who didnt seem to be enjoying herself anyways wouldn't let my mom have the shirt and took it away so... Maybe i was just annoyed with her but she sat there and messed around on her cellphone most of the time...
But i got my own t-shirt so it wasnt that big of a deal.
Then he got shot with baseballs and one girl in the front row got to go on stage and put the baseballs in the shooter and she got a poster "signed in blood" by Fall Out boy.
Then during Dance Dance he was up on stage dancing which was funny.
Despite what people who know me and have gone to concerts with me before may think, i did stand up and clap and cheer and make noise and all that fun stuff.
I'm not exactly sure i was really singing along half the time 'cuz i couldn't hear myself but oh well :P
My ears are still ringing.
But the concert was awesome, i had a great time.
At one point they played Panic! At the Disco's "I Write Sins Not Tradjedies" and every single person in the place (including myself) must've been singing along. Then they played Cupid's Chokehold by The Gym Class Heroes and everyone sang along to that too. It was cool.
It was funny to notice the difference in the bands.
Cobra Starship couldnt stop thanking us for being there.
Paul Wall couldnt stop singing the same song over and over,
The Academy is thanked us and was selling their new album for $10 (which i didnt manage to get)
and Fall Out Boy said that the first place they had sold out a show was Cleveland so they would continue to come back.
The tickets said not to bring cameras so i didnt bring mine but lots of other people were allowed to bring theirs but someone that knows my dad is going to email him some pictures i think...
