So I'm totally blogging while my adrenaline is pumping which isn't good but I'm doing it anyways.
Earthfest-2011. Summed up, AMAZING.
When I first got there I was super hesitant because all these not so goodies kept singing and it started as a long afternoon. However, I didn't let it put a damper on my spirits because Martin (Boys Like Girls) and Cobra Starship were still on the list.
Side Bar: Allexis and Maggie are my BFFFFFFFFF's and they were BOTH there. (I got THEE cutest pictures so I'll put em up when I figure it out.) Anyways, that alone was great.
Not gonna lie, for awhile I was ready to lay the smack down on some skanky middleschoolers. Seriously, I'm surprised I still have toes. I have been in crowds, and I have moshed before, but this was just awful. Everyone was literally just pushing and shoving. We were way in front for a good half of the concert but it got to a point where Mags turned and said, "I'm getting out of here." So off we went. Probably the smartest thing we did all night.
Afterwards we layed down a blanket towards the back and still had an incredible view of the stage.
While we were in front, however, Downtown Fiction performed and oh my word, I looooved them. Seriously, SO funny. I knew one of their songs before going but really didn't know what to expect. Long story short, probably going to download all their music as soon as my laptop is all fixed up.
Martin was ok. He wasn't much of a performer as I hoped and seriously not as good looking as I thought. He was just... well boring. All in all, I was kinda disappointed. Especially because they are one of my favorite bands. I really wish it had been all of them... just saying.
Iyaz and Shontel performed as well. They did a great job. Iyaz kinda just sang to a CD they had going but it was good music that made you wanna dance. Shontel only sang 4 songs and I was shocked to find I knew all but one. She was a very sweet girl.
All Time Low deff gets their own paragraph. Beforehand I had heard a couple of their songs but to be honest I didn't know too much. When they walked on stage I legit almost passed out and peed myself at the same time. THEY.ARE.GORGEOUS!!! I looooved their music. Plus they were such great performers and definitely got the crowd going. I'm making it a point to purchase all their CD's, learn all their songs, and party it up at one of their concerts.
And last, Co-Co-Co-Cobra Starship. So I adore CSS. Pretty much the only reason I went to Earthfest was to see them. My outfit was even CSS approved. (Well I wore a band shirt.) I knew every song they played and could NOT stop thinking about how surreal this was. It's not much of a secret but I kinda idolize Gabe and am in love with him and the rest of the boys. They have the same "Screw You" attitude that I so freely express myself. Their performance was, to say the least, EPIC. Words really can't explain how great they were. They are so fun. I already have all their CD's... and know all their songs... so I just gotta pray they come back here for another concert.
The only downfall of the night was that when CSS performed it was so late that it was really dark. Although I could SEE them perfectly the pictures were wretched. However, I shall burn the memory into my heart and mind. Oh, and all the getting stepped on, but I'll let that go.
Uggh. Such a great night. I am still shaking from the excitement. And that is probably why it's not a good idea to blog while excited. Psh. Whateva.
Anyways, first concert of the Summer was a great success. Next up, Kenny. :)
