So much fun.

After a long day at school and an even longer afternoon, Janet and I finally had something to be excited for. Doors weren't supposed to open till Seven but they actually opened them at like 5 and there were easily about 75 people already crammed up in the front. Janet and I took a spot by the stage and complained about the ridiculously tall 15 year old in front of us. We could barely see but we ended up moving ourselves up closer.

Let me just tell you all I have a mad love now for Evan Taubenfeld. The boy is amazingly talented and he knows how to work a crowd. He's such a natural born performer and not to mention he's quite the looker haha :]

Empires..I never really listened to them before so I was kinda the lost duck there. They were pretty good. Sucks to be the dude with laryngitis. Get well soon and thanks for the handshake. I better not get sick now lol

The Academy Is...aka William and Sisky were pretty amazing. William got up on stage and did his thing. Sisky sat on a stool next to Janet and I the whole time except for like two songs because he was up on stage. He looked pissed about something so I didn't bother him. My pictures didn't turn out the greatest because of the people being rude and the giant pole in my face but I still have some really great shots

and for the record my feet are STILL killing me because I decided to wear flip flops and then proceed to stand in line for 45 minutes to meet the guys.

There's my quick little review. If you want to know more ask. I'm in a rush right now and I wanted to post a little something to show off my not so crappy pictures ahaha
