Gone So Long

Hello there! Its been a while since I last posted. I've been pretty busy with school starting back up, but I'm back and even have some new ideas to throw at you guys :)

First I'll catch you up on whats been going on with me (because I know that you are just dying to know, not).
I've four new courses this semester, Composition II, Academic Strategies, Government *sighs with boredom*, American Pop Culture.
The class I'm really excited for is American Pop Culture. The professor is really cool (a self proclaimed product of the grunge era) and this is our text book...

Oh, how excited I am to read this!

Now enough about me. Lets talk blog :)

I have some new ideas in the works. I'm going to throw a few out there and you guys tell me what you think.

1. I'm thinking of making little mini list of authors that I enjoy (I think I mentioned this in an earlier post). I may also start doing reviews of books after I read them.

2. I've been really into street art and graffiti lately, so I was thinking a few post about different types and some of the greatest street artist.

3. I'm thinking some informative little things about some of the photographers, in the music field and in other fields.

4. Song of the Week. This would be whatever song I've been obsessed with during any given week (kinda lame, but I like it).

I'm also working on more band list for you guys. I would love, love, love it if you guys might recommend some musicians I should look up and list.

I feel like I babbled throughout this post, but that's okay.

Rite of Spring

Band list time! Here we go:

*I do not own these bands, these lyrics, these pics, etc.*

Angels and Airwaves

The summers gone, the years have passed,

My friends have changed, a few did last

the smallest dreams got pushed aside

The largest ones that changed my life

Attila

Holler at your boy

From First to Last

HorrorPops

Icon For Hire

I'm gonna burn this theater down

and pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line
Like "This is it!"

Lights

Motion City Soundtrack

NeverShoutNever

You're only as tall as your heart will let you be

and you're only as small as the world will make you seem

So when the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall

Just look on the brightside

You're roughly 6 feet tall

The Maine

The Ready Set

Yet another list of awesomeness!

I had a thought earlier. What if I made a list of authors and books that I enjoy in the same sort of fashion that I do these list? Would you lovely individuals want to see something like that?

Fearless Friends Tour 2011

This being the beginning of 2012, I thought I'd post the concert review I meant to do, you know 2 weeks ago!

*Warning: Pic heavy!*

On December 11, 2011 Hailey, her boyfriend Dillon, her brother Cameron, his girlfriend Rachael, and myself went to see the Fearless Friends concert.

Hailey, Me, and Rachael

Dillion, Hailey, and me

When we got to the venue there were two lines wrapping around the building, one for those who had tickets already, and one for those who didn't. It was insane! I've never in my entire concert going experience see that many people crammed into this particular venue. The place was packed!

The first band to play was Chunk! No Captain Chunk! Sadly, we didn't get to see them too well because we had just got in the building and were literally trapped in front of the merch tables. I don't have any pictures of them from the show so here's one from google:

We finally became mobile between sets and found a good spot near the back, where we watched the next band, Tonight Alive. Hailey and I had seen them once before and they did not disapoint!

While it was packed, the crowd remained fairly tame. This all changed with the next band, Motionless in White. Now, many of you know, I love this band (my review of them is my highest rated and it makes me so happy!). However, Hailey wasn't the biggest fan. Luckily, seeing them live made her truly like them. Mission Accomplished! Here's a few pics from their set:

Keyboardist

Immaculate Misconception middle finger salute

My favorite pic

Guitarist

They were amazing live! The crowd went balistic, surfing, moshing, and doing what we coined "The Wall of Death". Now I'm always game for a good mosh pit, however, I didn't want to die, so again we stayed back. (Inadvertently witnissing what will forever be known as The Man Boob Mosh Pit - name courtesy of Cameron.)

Next was The Word Alive:

"Come at me bro!"

Finally, BlessTheFall played. What was really cool, was that they had some kind of problem with their van and had to race to make the show. They could have bailed on the show, but instead they ran like hell to make it. I admire that kind of dedication.

They gave one of the craziest, most intense shows I think I have ever seen. There were a good twenty stage divers and had a fun game of "come kiss elliot" where girls could jump up on stage and kiss their bassist. It was hilarious!

Here's some pics:
