I went to the New Found Glory 10 Year Anniversary Tour last night with my friend Amanda. Friday...March 5th, 2010 at The House Of Blues in Chicago, Illinois. Fireworks, Hellogoodbye, Saves The Day, and of course New Found Glory played all in that order. It was an amazing show to say the least, you could tell that everyone there had a fucking blast. I loved seeing New Found Glory most of all because I haven't seen them since Warped Tour, and I just missed them so much. The show brought back a lot of wonderful memories. So...this is how the day went:
Amanda and I got on the train at 4:30 and I only had to pay $1.30 to ride the train to Union Station because I had my High School ID. Meanwhile Amanda was stuck paying like $4.00 :P! For once the train went right to Union Station instead of making a million pointless stops. We got to Union Station and saw all these cute punk boys standing around the bathroom talking about the show and I was all happy until their stuck up little girl friends came running out of the bathroom to give us dirty looks. We continued walking through Union Station to finally find our way out of that confusing place. Now it was time to get to The House Of Blues, it wasn't far at all. So we started to walk the six blocks. We stopped at a 7-11 on the corner to get energy drinks since we both didn't get much sleep from being so damn excited. We both got a huge monster and I swear I felt that shit right away. I started walking fast as hell and couldn't stop talking about how excited I was at such a fast speed. Amanda just laughed and talked over me the whole time, lol. We finally got in front of The House Of Blues all we needed to do was cross the street. While we were waiting to cross the street, Rodrigo Palma from Saves The Day walks up next to us to cross the street as well. We both talked to him for a bit until the light changed but there wasn't enough time to ask him for an autograph. He just shouted "Meet me after the show, i'll be around" as he walked in. When we crossed the street an old black man was like "ANY EXTRA TICKETS PLEASE?!" So I immediately found someone to buy my extra ticket. I was so happy because I thought I'd have to swallow that ticket, but I didn't and I made a profit :D. As we went to actually walk in we ran into that group of cute punk boys from Union Station earlier and the girls that they were with looked at us even meaner this time. I just started singing "Hit Or Miss" by New Found Glory and they laughed.
We finally got our tickets scanned and searched, and literally ran up the stairs. Fireworks were already playing and that was okay because I'm not really into them anyway. Amanda and I just stayed towards the back jumping around. They played a good set but it wasn't anything special, sorry Fireworks! After they got done playing we went to go check in our coats because there was no way in hell we were going to mosh in our winter coats. We both had to pay $5.00 to check our coat in...how lame is that? Hellogoodbye came on and we were a little closer for them we joked around about them, sang danced to the shit we knew, but other than that they were lame. There was a midget in the crowd and I did the robot dance with him, it was great. Personally, I don't like them anymore and I haven't really been a fan to begin with. I mean the only original band member is the lead singer and they were playing slow lame shit. The keyboard player tried to be funny by making Mortal Combat noises during their set, but they were just gay. Ehhhhh they sucked, haha. After their set was done Amanda and I just got really fucking close for Saves The Day.
Finally, it was time for the two bands I originally went their for. Saves The Day came on and everyone went crazy. Everyone was jumping around and singing like it should be. Fireworks and Hellogoodbye kinda blew the first part of the show. I was singing and jumping my ass off with my hand up screaming for Chris to play "At Your Funeral" Unfortunately he didn't hear me, but he did look at me a few different times. Before they played "The End" Chris asked for a circle pit and shit did he fucking get what he asked for. I was in that circle pit like no other it was fucking great. I got punched in the nose, but it was a good punch in the nose. I loved seeing Saves The Day it had been such a long time since I had seen them. They did play "At Your Funeral" and it was great.
We then got close as hell for New Found Glory, just a person away from the barricade. The curtains closed and the sound check guy was poking out of the crack with a flashlight. As we waited for them to come on the crowd started moshing to "Party In The USA" by Miley Cyrus. I was lost, like just thinking wtf are they doing? The music shut off, the lights shut off, and the curtains opened to reveal New Found Glory walking on stage all excited. They started playing with so much energy. The crowd went fucking nuts, as well as I did. Jordan looked amazing. They were full of energy. If you didn't want to jump, the floor kept jumping. They stopped in the middle of their set to say that they were going to play all of their songs from start to finish.

I'm pretty positive that I have been smacked constantly with the biggest bad luck pole in the world this last month. I'm not trying to make this post some type of sob story or anything, but I need to get it off of my chest some way or another. So it all started at the beginning of the month, things really weren't going well as it was anyway. I went to a party downtown with a few of my friends. I didn't know the house, or the other people there very well,...but I was still having a blast. I took the "EL" back home in the morning only to find out that my $250.00 camera had been stolen. My love for taking pictures of random things can no longer be fulfilled. A few days later I got a phone call from Jordan (my boyfriend at the time) he called to tell me that throughout our entire "relationship" he liked me as a person, but was never attracted to me. He then confessed to me that he's all out gay, and has been his whole life. He then said that he just went out with to me to make his parents happy that he had a girlfriend for once in his life. Come to think of it, he told me that he had never kissed a girl in his life. How the hell does an attractive male get his first kiss at 20 years old? I should have known just from that...I guess I walk around with my eyes closed. Two weeks after that event, I find out that my two closest friends had been diagnosed with STD's. Although I know that they'll be okay after getting the proper treatment, i'm still afraid and worried for them. This past weekend I went to another party with my friends. Guess what went missing this time? My cell phone. Yep, that's right. Since it was completely dead with no charger, I thought that no one would be able to use it because of that reason. Just to be safe I called my mom immediately after I found out that it had been stolen off of my friends phone. I told her to cancel my service and she told me she would get it taken care of after she got off the phone with me. When I got home my mom was nice enough to let me borrow her phone for a while. I get a phone call from my friend saying "You got your phone back, and you call me an asshole?" I told her that I still didn't have my phone, I knew right then that someone was using it. I asked my mom if she called to shut off my service and she said that she forgot. I called my phone and it was ringing forever. Finally a black guy picked up and said "Hey", then hung up. So then I got my dad to shut off my service successfully along with the news that my phone had been charged $140.00 for ringtones, games, and wallpaper. Not only do I have to pay for a new phone, but I have to pay for all the shit that was charged to my phone bill. I had the cutest COACH cupcake charm on my phone that my aunt bought me, I guess I wont see that again either. To end this lovely post...I'm sick with a fever and my friends are going to Florida for a two week vacation. Was I invited? NO. Have fun guys...FML. </3 |
