In-Depth Comprehensive Reportation! Pt. 2

And so, we were standing there. Occasionally, roadies came and did sound checks. Then Durty came out and introduced Cobra Starship. The Cobra started with Keep it Simple, which was awesome. As was Send My Love To The Dancefloor, I'll See You in Hell and Church of Hot Addiction. They closed with Snakes on a Plane, for which they had Beckett from TAI come out and do vocals. They were really good.

Then next was Paul Wall, he was alright. I didn't really care to much for it, but i could stand it. He threw out grills and t-shirts. He also said "what it do?" alot.

Up next was The Academy Is..., who opened with The Phrase That Pays. They also did Neighbors, which was awesome. And We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands was really good too. I think they ended with Checkmarks, but i forgot.

Then +44 came on. I'm pretty sure they opened with Lycanthrope. I have no idea, but all their songs kind of sound the same. Anyway, they did a cover of Rock Show by Blink 182, and they closed with a rocking When Your Heart Stops Beating. Plus, Mark Hoppus between songs was hilarious.

Then, the main event. As soon as +44 stopped playing, people were pushing and shoving to get to the front, but we pretty much stayed where we started. The first song they played was Thriller, which was amazing. They played all their singles except for Dead on Arrival. Of All the Gin Joints in All the World was really good. So was Dance, Dance, Sugar We're Going Down, and their cover of Beat It. During the Carpal Tunnel of Love, they played the Happy Tree Friends video in the background. Then, Andy did his drum solo, which was awesome. Then, Durty got some kid to throw baseballs at his chest, and he got a poster, signed in blood. The pyrotechnics of the show were really good, and Liz and i could feel the heat from the fire.

Then, it ended with huge amounts of confetti in the air. That was also awesome.

So, we got out, headed to the drinking fountain, then the security guy told us that if we weren't waiting for something, we were supposed to leave. A-hole.

So, we left, waited for mom, looked at the pictures we took. Some turned out really great, others...well, they were obscured by people. People and their hands...

I'm about to upload the pictures and put them on Facebook/Myspace, so, i'll give you the link to those. In the meantime, later.
