I'm going to see Paramore, The Almost, The Starting Line, and****E%Dfgz in concert!!!
I'm so excited. And, I'm taking my best friend Travis with me. She's not really into Paramore, she's a little more hiphop/rap, but she's still excited. It's her first concert.
We should have a blast.
Other than that, I'm obsessed with a band called Leathermouth and a band called The Color Fred. Both side projects of people from bands I already like. Leathermouth is the side project of Frank Iero, My Chemical Romance's rhythm guitarist. The Color Fred is the side project of Fred Maraschino, lead guitarist for Taking Back Sunday.

I was watching Steven's Untitled Rock Show this morning, and Steven was interviewing Gerard Way. One of the questions was "If you could ask anything to your fans, what would it be?" He answers "What does My Chemical Romance mean to you?"
I thought about that for a good while.
First off, I like music that makes me feel something ridiculously overwhelming when I listen to it. Whether it be sadness, happiness, amusement, whatever. My Chemical Romance does that to me. For example, when I listen to Welcome To The Black Parade, my heart explodes with emotion. I sit there and I think "How do people make music like this? How can a band make a song that is so moving that you want to cry every time you hear it? How can a song make you feel so overwhelmingly sad and happy at the same time?" Few songs do that to me. "Voices" by Saosin does it.
My Chem has changed my life completely. I am eternally grateful.
Before I go, let me write a quick bit about Saosin. You guys have made me so happy in the short time I have been a fan.
You know what won me over? Your passion, your energy at the show I went to. You guys were amazing, and made that moment so special for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Projekt Revolution 8/19/07
Oh. my. fucking. god.
Amazing. Just. Amazing.
I'll start from the beginning. We're waiting for the gates to open, and the guy behind us is REALLY cute. Like, REALLY REALLY cute. Redhead, lip piercing, Taking Back Sunday t-shirt, the whole nine yards. Uber hyper, starts talking to his girlfriend, talking about concerts they had been too. He starts on about Green Day, and bad-mouthing them. The cute guy then realizes I'm wearing a Green Day hat apologizes, and PATS my head. :)
On to when we get in there. We had this whole ordeal about not being able to bring in backpacks, but my mom needs her backpack, because it has her medical supplies in it. Let me just say, my mom is badassssss. We totally got to bring in the backpack. :)
NOW, on to the bands I saw. We missed most of Madina Lake, but what I heard was awesome. We were so FLIPPING close to the stage, it was so awesome. Styles Of Beyond was AMAZING! Mike Shinoda (from Linkin Park) came on stage and rapped with them. I danced, screamed, and waved my hand in the air like I just didn't care. :)
Didn't get to see The Bled, because my mom got really hot, so we went over to shade, while they performed.
Now, on to one of the many big kahunas. SAOSIN. I went in there only knowing two songs by them. They were FUCKING AMAZING! I was so close to the stage, got some great photos of the lead singer.
Then, we went over to were Saosin was having a signing, and waited in line for about an hour. There was a dude going up and down the line selling Saosin CDs and I got one for ten bucks.
But, now on to the part that made my entire day. I got my Saosin t-shirt and CD (That I bought today, mind you) signed by ALL OF SAOSIN. FUCK YEAH. The bass player smiled at me, (Hee hee) and the lead singer winked and said "hey sweetie" to my MOM. Yeah. PLUS, the first guy from the Saosin (sorry, I can't tell them apart, or their names, or what instrument they play) put my CD in his mouth to hold it while he signed the t-shirt. I totally have Saosin spit on my Saosin CD. Chyea. lol.
So while all of this was going on, Mindless Self Indulgence was performing. I REALLY REALLY liked them. Plus, also while we were waiting in line, Madina Lake was doing a signing, so I was like six or seven feet away from them. Plus, a guy from Madina Lake looked at me. :)
We got up to the main stage in the middle of Julien-k. I REALLY liked them. Placebo I didn't like at all, HIM I didn't really like either. Taking Back Sunday was REALLY REALLY cool.
But on to the BIG kahuna. My. Chemical. Romance.
I screamed SO loud when they came on. I'm seriously going to have no voice tomorrow, because I screamed, and sang along to every song. I jumped, danced, head-banged, you name it. I looked like an COMPLETE idiot. But, on the main stage, we had lawn tickets, so we were REALLY far away from the stage. Saosin, Mindless Self Indulgence, Styles Of Beyond, The Bled, and Madina Lake were on the Revolution Stage, and you can go anywhere you want. That how we got so close.
Yeah. Gerard Way sounded like shit, but it was fun anyway. A guy was wearing the same Avenged Sevenfold shirt as me. Um, what else. I don't know. I think that's it.
My throat hurts, my head hurts, and I'm exhausted, but I had a blast. Saosin is now in my top three favorite bands, and I have a tiny crush on the lead singer. I know, just stamp HYPOCRITE across my ass.
Pictures tomorrow. I'm too damn tired now.

So, you know I'm not the type to post pictures of guys from bands, but, this is just such an awesome picture, oh my god. There's so much passion in his face, you can tell he loves what he does. Oh, and if you were wondering, that's Frank Iero, guitarist of My Chemical Romance.
Point me to the sky above
I can't get there on my own
Walk me through the graveyard
Dig up her bones

Dreams... again
Ok, so, yeah. We can pretty much come to the conclusion, that I am a weird person. But this dream crosses the line between weirdness and just plain crazy man.
The dream is slightly broken up, because I could only remember bits of it. But prepare yourself. lol.
I'm at the dentist, and I'm slightly dreading it because in my dream Mikey Way is my dentist tech (Yeah... I know) and in the dream I like him. You know, LIKE like him. So I'm wandering around and I go into one of the patient rooms and wait, Then, Mikey sticks his head out of one of the other rooms, and tells me to come over there so he can start (That sounds really gross, but I don't quite remember what he says in the dream). I go over in the room, sit in the chair, and Mikey and I start discussing music. Skip ahead a little, he's done with my mouth, then, get ready, all of sudden he turns into a girl! Then he/she walks out of the room, with me swooning.
That was it. I have a question. Why are all my dreams about bands now? And My Chemical Romance? I have had two dreams about My Chem in a span of two weeks. Good lord. And Mikey, if your reading this, I''m really sorry you turned into a girl in my dream. :(

Dreams
Dreams are some weird things.
About a week ago, I had a dream that I was in New York, with my best friend, well apparently in the dream she was my best friend. I didn't even recognize her, lol. But, we ended up in a small venue, and My Chemical Romance was performing. So, the guys in My Chem started pushing these racks of coats in the middle of the floor, I guess. While I was getting smushed by coats, I start talking to Gerard Way, who is the lead singer of My Chem. Does anyone else think this is weird? So, anyway, somehow, I end up in this department store, with my so-called "best friend". We look at shoes and electronics, and then decide to go back to the concert because we only stayed for one and a half songs. So as we are walking to the concert, my friend turns into my brother. Then, this guy in a van says that we need to get in the car to get to the concert. I get in then realize that my mom won't know where I am. I say to myself that my brother will tell her. So I get to the venue, and it says the My Chem concert is over. Feeling a tad disappointed, I get back into the van. Then we go on this jungle trail somehow. This cougar or whatever jumps in front of us, says I have to be really still and quiet, so it won't EAT US. lol. By the way, the dude driving the van looks suspiciously like Rob Schneider, I don't know why. So I get back to my mom, tell her the concert was over. Then I woke up.
That's not the weirdest dream I had that week. Here's another.
So, as you know, I have insomnia. This "dream" happened as I was trying to fall asleep, and I was about half-asleep. I have a picture of a band called The Used right by my head, on the wall. So, my dream was floating heads. Bert McCracken (lead singer) and Quinn Allman's (Guitarist) floating heads.
Dude. What does this say about me?
