So I just got home from seeing Panic At The Disco in concert. It was pretty awesome. I stood in the front (right next to the speakers!) all through the opening acts, who were all pretty good, but since they played for a long time, I got too tired to stand for very long while Panic was actually playing, so I had to sit down again. I did make it through their first couple of songs, though, and I got to see all of them much better from where I was sitting. Then I went back down for the last song. It was great concert.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, someone Rickroll'd everyone there. There was a big screen on the stage that would display your text messages if you sent them to a certain number, so someone texted the lyrics to "Never Gonna Give You Up." It was pretty funny.

Here's what I posted on buzznet...

Ok, so, me my bff Maureen, bro, and Emily, went to a Panic at the Disco concert and OMG it was so fecking fun! My cousin was there (but I didn't see him) and there was this screen where you could text messages so they'd show up on there, and my cousins friend texted "Ethan Carly and Maddie rule!" and i screamed lol. ANYWAY, like, halfway through the actual concert with PatD, this crazy insane dude, he BURST through the crowd, just trampling people over like he was king of the world. Then he was all jumping up and down and shizz and then he started pushing people around, then at least 10 other girls and me and my friends started pushing him back and flying everywhere, then he got really pissed and started picking a fight with someone and this one girl I met tried to break it up but he just knocked her out of the way then he got kicked out. But the funny part was my friends were screaming and clinging on to each other when the fight started lol And there was this one really cute guy there but I never got a chance to stand next to him...Darn XD Like, I wanted to when the fight broke out...Gosh I'm so boy-crazy =p LOL! Me and Maur were so close to touching Ryan's hand, too. I'll try to get some pics up sometime There were also these girls there, and one was screaming/singing at the top of her lungs. Her breath smelled like beer. Her friend said it was her bday. I think they were lezzes cause her other friend was all like up against us and stuff.And she was all looking at us funny. And then this girl came up and was all like looking at her like "Wtf dogman you're insane plz stfu"

MOD EDIT: You know that word (the one replaced by the bolded one) isn't allowed. Warning received.

It's nice to have you back, though. ^^

To revive this topic, I got to see Shiny Toy Guns in concert tonight. It was pretty cool, but I think it could have been better.

For one, they were playing in a club, so it was small, thus resulting in lots of people packed together. Makes me glad I didn't go on the dance floor; if a fight started (which is very likely since there was a bar in there and a bunch of people got drunk), I don't think I could get out. I'd also prefer not to have people constantly bumping into me while I'm trying to enjoy the show.

Second, since I was by the wall, the stage was angled to me, making it a little harder to see. Then a bunch of really tall guys decided to cluster in front of me, so I had to twist my neck at a bunch of odd angles just to see, so my neck is pretty sore now. On top of these issues, the stage was also absolutely smothered in smoke, so it was hard to see the band at all.

Third, the walls were all brick. Very bad acoustics in there.

In spite of these obstacles, however, it was a very enjoyable show all around. Both of the opening bands and Shiny Toy Guns all did a really good job. And for $15 a ticket (way cheap compared to most bands nowadays), it's quite the bargain.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

My aunts went to the Metallica concert. The only thing I didnt like about Metallica was their vocals.
