like OMG!
Friday, i went to a concert to see Gary Allen, and secretly i felt the same way as my brother: yay...concert...country music star....what does he sing again? But I reallly was excited. It was my first concert and it was FREE. Anyway the night starts like this: Dad's at work doing who knows what and its 6:45. He just called to say he'll be headed home in a few minutes. The concert starts at 7 and I really want a good spot. So we wait.and wait. And wait. Durring this time I'm cclimbing up in the rafters of our garrage to get our camp chairs down and he pulls inot the driveway. YAY. Then-then-he wants to change and its like 6:54 and I'm freaking out 'cause I'm caught in the excitment of going to a CONCERT. Like who wouldn't be?anyway, he grabs a slice of pizza and by 7:02 we are headedto the arifield to do this
[link],blah, we find a parking spot, get to the concert, we hurry, hurry, and then hurry up and wait. The actuall music part of this event didn't start untill 7:30. Which was cool by me. We didn't miss anything.
So 7:30 rolls around and who walks out on stage?! (not Gary Allen)
BOWLING FOR SOUP!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, I'm not the biggest fan ever but I thoguht they were pretty good. Their songs have great beats and someone up front asked them if they could play 1985 and he just luaghed. He said (this is Jarret,btw) that if they played thier only hit early in the concert, everyone would leave for the bathroom and no one would be there to listen to the rest of thier concert. lol. so we had sa count down to 1985. 1hour 14miuntes...40 minutes...28minutes...9 minutes...1985!!!!
wow. That is the fastest I have heard heard or sung that song. They we pushin the tempo up there pretty good but it was awesome.And halfway through, after the Please make this stop.stop. STOP! part he stops the band (he has a bad habit of doing this so if you ever see them he's gonna stop between songs and durring songs to talk to the crowd) and he's like "if you guys don't sing 1985 louder than you sang that brittny spears song, you're gonna make us feel really bad." (we sang hit me baby one more time earlier durring thier performance) So he had us sing the chourus to him just so he knew that we coulddo it. Then he started rocking again and that was way awesome. then they left T^T.
After another period of waiting, Gray Allen came on, and after such a talkative act from BFS I was dissapointed. Gary doesn't talk, like at all. Just sings. I mean sure that's what he's paid to do but man you can say SOMETHING. Anyways, halfway through it started to rain (mobs of people left. I've never seen people pack up camp chairs and be gone more quickly than in my entire life

)And by 11:00 I was tiered and my allergies were acting up (go figure). So we left. And I'm galce we did, cause outside signing autographs were Bowling for soup!
well, I didn't actually get to meet them, I SAW the 2nd gutarist and I actually got close to the other one, but then I saw Jarret and headed that way. Or rather, they were leaving and I was standing by Thier extended ford excursion and he was walking towaards us. Anyways we were able to stop him long enough to get him to sign my brothers shirt. then they were gone.
yeah, so that was my awesome friday night. By the time we got to our car and were leaving they were in front of us. So we got to follow them to the light. That was cool too. yeah.
It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
