Swiss Army Romance - Dashboard |
] |
I can't even begin to say how fun the concert was, holy shit.
So first of all I got ready and Betsy called to say she was in town at the fun-fest and she was going to come early, like around 4:30
So she gets to my house and we're just kind of sitting around so we decide to leave, around 5:30
We stopped at McDonalds to get Iced Teas and I got a McChicken [woot for $ menu]
We got a little bored on the way over, so we took a few pictures, the only ones of the trip since no cams were allowed!
& I was driving, mind you. bhaha



Fun stuff.
And then we finally get there and its only like 6:30...we're two hours early!
So we decide to go visit her brother at his dorm. And lemme tell you, I was in a bit of awe of everything going on around us, the kids, the traffic, the campus, the commotion, everything. It has made me seriously consider MSU. We get to Josiah's dorm and Rusty is there. We chill there for a bit and then head over to the Wharton center. We get in no problem but the doors are still closed to the theatre so we chill in the hallway and bought tee shirts.

Finally after about a half an hour the doors opened and we found our seats.
We were pretty far back but it didn't matter because we could see everything perfect.
We waited for another half an hour before the opening act finally came on.
It was John Ralston from Florida, the band is good friends with Chris.
I thought they fucking rocked. And it was sweet on a song called "I believe in Ghosts" Chris came on stage and played piano with them. then he kissed JOHN! whoa. hot.
After the opening act we waited for another 45 minutes because there were some techincal difficulties with I don't even know what.
Finally Dashboard came on. And it was honestly one of my favorite concerts.
The set list went something like this:
Swiss Army Romance
Sharp Hint of New Tears
So Impossible
Am I Missing
Remember To Breathe Rapid Hope Loss Teenage Dirtbag cover Carry This Picture Places California clip Bend And Not Break Ghost Of A Good Thing Brilliant Dance Screaming Infidelities Turpentine Chaser Again I Go Unnoticed Saints & Sailors Bitter Pill ---safe sex talk--- Best Deceptions Vidicated Hands Down
yea they played for like a fucking hour and forty five minutes.
There were like 4 different times when everyone thought it was going to be the last song and then he would come back onstage.
The crowd had great energy and it was just so fun.
The safe sex talk thing was funny too, he was like "Don't get me wrong I love sex, actually I'm getting pretty good at it"
hahaha.
But my favorite song was probably Remember to Breathe, because he added like 4 different songs in that and it just sounded soooo good. I recorded a little of it on my cell phone. Bend and Not Break was also wonderful and Hands Down was just great.
I LOVED IT ALL.
And after that we left and I bought the John Ralston CD for $5. I've been listening to it today, and
my favorite song is "Gone Gone Gone"
the lyrics are great.
Anywho I worked today and that sucked but I don't care cause I had an amazing time last night. I went shopping today and that was fun.
BUT
I'm so happy I went last night.
Great way to end summer, IF ONLY HE WOULD'VE PLAYED SO LONG SWEET SUMMER!
But no, I heard like every song I wanted to, I dont think it could've been any better.
And on a side note, I dont give a fucking shit if dashboard isn't cool enough for you.
Ok I'm done. I'm happy and I'm going to go clean my room.
ITS COOL TO TAKE THESE CHANCES
ITS COOL TO FAKE ROMANCES
