The Academy Is..., Anberlin & Buzznet Aniversary!

I am dreadfully sorry to anyone I complained to about me not going to see TAI/Anberlin.
In the end, I asked my brother a week before the gig if he could take me & he said Yeah!
While I was waiting in line, Sisky & the Butcher walked passed & I turned around & said casually, "Hey Sisky!"
He said hi back and Hugh was like, "You said that like you've know him!" : D

Once I got in, I got an Anberlin poster & teeshirt. I moshed for the first time during TAI. Moshing's fun it's just the fact that Id rather listen to the music, but it was good. I was 3rd person from the barrier - a boo ya.

Set list - Not in order:
1. About a Girl
2. The Test
3.After the Last Midtown Show - they played in a different tone or something so I had no idea what it was at the beginning
4.Summer Hair = Forever Young
5. We've got a Big Mess on our Hands - My brother was excited for this song
6.Neighbours
7. The Phrase that Pays
8.Slow Down
9. Checkmarks

 

Hugh was amazed by Mr Bucket's dance moves (i.e. he did thriller!) & his cool swinging of microphone around his legs and face.

Anberlin came on. Fuck. So. Good.

Set list - Not in order:
1.The Resistance
2. Breaking
3. Feel Good Drag
4. A Day Late
5. Adelaide
6. Godspeed
7. A Whisper & A Clamour
8. The Undwinding Cable Car - I got teary during this
9. Hello Alone
10. Dismantle. Repair.
11. Inevitable - they said they dont really play that song so they did
Encore
12. (Fin*) - during this song, I cried because it's such an amazing song & really gets to me. While I was standing by myself, crying & singing along, Stephen Christian(lead) glanced at me a couple of times. Go figure.
A girl who was flinging her hair against my back at the beginning came up to me asking what was wrong. I was like, "It's just really good!"

& it truly was. The BEST GIG I HAVE BEEN TO. Now Im sad it's over.

 

Also, Buzznet aniversary on the 25th - 5 days after I saw PATD/Cobra/TAI.

 

Love you guys so much! : D

OMG REALLY?
My brother at one point earlier before TAI, he left the mosh whilst pushing a guy on purpose & then everyone fell down. I was pretty darn close. I was wearing a lame shirt that said, "I need closure" if you sure that girl, T'WAS ME!
Soo good it was indeed. Nice to hear from you again, btw.

Near the end of the first line against the wall of the venue. I was with like the tallest guy in line. He was wearing a white shirt & had a brown fringe.
