Everclear

Well last night, Justin and I went to see Everclear in concert, one of my favorite bands. The concert was suppose to start at 7:30, but of course it didn't start until 8. We had gotten there early, so we were right up at the stage. There was only one guy in front of me and so we had a really good view of the stage. The opener was cool, it was a local band from the cities called Holiday. They played until 8:45, then we had to wait until 9:30 until Everclear finally came on. That's when the craziness started.
Now that Everclear was on, the people in the back started pushing forward and trying to get up front. This was causing huge waves to go through the people in the front, being pushed back, so we pushed back because we didn't want to lose out sweet spots. On both sides of us, there were couples and the guys were desperately holding on to their significant other, like Justin was doing, so us girls wouldn't get knocked onto the floor. Art (the lead singer) even asked people to knock it off, but of course no one was going to listen.
People were starting to crowdsurf, and Art was like, "Please, crowdsurfing is like so 1994." One kid who looked like he was 15 and drunk, got surfed up to the stage right after they finished with "I will buy you a new life," and like stole the mic and started horribly singing, Art was trying to ask him to get off the stage but finally some security guys had to escort him off.
Other than the pushing the concert was great, it was really cool seeing him so close. I was so close that I could see his heavily tattooed arms. On his lower right arm, he has all three Powerpuff Girls flying, he does have a little girl so I'm guessing that's her fav cartoon.
They played a wide variety of songs from their albums, and the last half they played radio hits, Volvo Driving Soccer Mom, Wonderful, Father of Mine, I will buy you a new life, even played two new songs off a new record although he didn't say when it's coming out.
For the encore, he pulled a bunch of girls up on stage and played Jenny (867-5309). It was lots of fun, we didn't get home until 11pm and poor Justin had to work at 5am. When the alarm went off however, he told me to move it up another hour and say that he missed the alarm. haha I haven't talked to him yet so I'm not sure how it that went over.

Side note: My computer is not working and right now the cause is unknown. I don't like Justin's comp, so I probably won't blog much unless I have something important to say, like next week Lost episode. This is also why I'm not commenting on blogs, because I don't have my favorites list.
Later!
