Life is Beautiful - Sixx:A.M.

Very good song ^_^ Okay, to quickly sum up my life in the last *Looks at last entry* 35 days since I blogged (Wow), I had a birthday, my mom and sister went to England for two weeks 2 days ago, my internet browser died (Using FF now) and I got Jon Foreman to sign my shirt.
 I also got one of Drew Shirley's picks. =D He's so awesome. lol

So, yes, I went to a Switchfoot concert last night. It was awesome. However, there was a little miscommunication which was probably my fault, but I was getting ready to eat dinner, when Stephen, his sister, and mom come by to pick me up, so I ran inside, put on my shoes, and grabbed a poptarts package (Ah, the benefits of a house almost to myself) and ran out the door. So I ate on the way there. Stephen bought tickets like 3 weeks before, so we were in the 4th row. And during the concert people in the row in front of us left, so we advanced to row 3. I can't remember all of the songs they sang, but during "Gone", Jon Foreman told us all to put our arms are the person beside us and sway back and forth like one big family. However, the person next to me was like a foot shorter than me.... But they sang several songs I knew, and during one of them, Jon came out into the audience (Pics below) into the row right behind us. That was cool. =D And during some point, Jon took his guitar and started... screaming into it. It was a little weird, but it sounded spiffy. And at the end of it, we were wandering around the lobby seeing if they'd come out, then we went to wait by their bus. xD We weren't the only ones. There was like 20 other people in their own groups. While we were waiting we got pretty insane. Stephen had gotten a disposable camera before we went to the concert, and was taking pictures of random people (Including me) at weird moments. *Re-enacts* I'm saying something, and Stephen runs up and takes a picture right in my face (I REALLY WANT TO SEE THAT PICTURE). So we had to wait for like an hour before Tim Foreman came out (Actually, Andy the podcast dude came out first). So I got my picture with him and then his autograph on my "The Beautiful Letdown" CD, and then we waited again. Next Jerome Fontamallis came out. Got picture with him and his autograph too. Then Chad Butler came out (Same thing), and then Drew Shirley. He's awesome. :P I got a guitar pick from him and *Repeats autograph and photo* And then Jon Foreman came out. Stephen got a pick from him, and I got him to sign my Switchfoot shirt. =D And then it was 12:30. We were waiting at the bus since 10:05 or so for them to come out. They didn't even all come out at once hehe. They were like spaced 20 minutes apart. Then Stephen called his parents, who apparently thought that someone else was going to drive us back, so they weren't happy. And we were all crazy at this point. Well, I was at least. When I'm tired, I shift into hyper mode. And the 20 oz of Vault and more of coke probably helped. But yeah, that's basically it. Sorry if I don't comment you guys back soon, cause I'm kind of busy. PHOTO TIME =D

That's really cool that you met Switchfoot! On Thursday I went to a Newsboys concert. I only met the two bands that opened for them though. But I don't care cuz they were AWESOME!

Sounds like you had loads of fun. I haven't been to a concert in well over a year. But don't worry. If Chris Brown or Justin Timberlake ever hold another concert in Australia I'll be there, no qustions asked.

It's ok if you don't comment back in a while. I haven't got any comments at all for like 3 posts now. I was getting lonley so I am commenting everyone.
