Brand New, what else.
The Brand New show was amazing! But there's no way something could've gone off without a hitch, so of course there's more to the story. A while ago I got my ticket, then picked up a ticket for Julio. We were pumped, and not just us. A lot of my friends were super excited to finally see Brand New. They were one of all our favorite bands and we'd finally get to see them! And not just that, but during summer! How cool! So everyone who was going had their tickets and that was like, the big thing. Before I go on, maybe I was just excited for everyone else, but I don't think I was alone in my excitement. Well it's like a week away and one of my friends can find the ticket for her and her sister. No big deal, just call the company who she got the tickets through, tell them what happened and everything will be fine, right? Well I guess not. This company doesn't do replacements, at all. What-ever. This is TOO lame! Well Julio calls me and was like, "I'm not going to go, take Erika with the ticket you got for me." Well Erika being the stubborn amazing sister she is refuses to go and wants Britney to go. Lame, but still cool, Britney is super cool, and we hadn't talked a whole lot before this. Ok, so we're on the way to go see Brand New finally. Pretty bummed out that Julio and Erika won't be joining us, but we're going anyways. Fast forward through the first two bands; Colour Revolt and Pistolitta. Brand New is finally up! Yes! Britney and I are determined to get up front, but there are a LOT of people and both of us are pretty small. I give up pretty quick and go head back, I've got no idea what she's doing. Brand New starts playing their songs, it's all things amazing bla bla bla then they play "Soco Amaretto Lime"!!! NO WAY!! The entire show was amazing, they played almost every song off of Deja Entendu (all of them except, "Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die.", and they played a few songs off of Your Favourite Weapon, a few new songs, and closed their set with, "Play Crack the Sky." Despite the little bit of awkwardness I just feel in general now, the concert was still one of the biggest highlights of my summer, and during "Soco" I just felt great. One of those, "this is summer break" moments. Of course it feels like summer, I've been lazy and it's hot and humid and there are always clouds around, but it hasn't really felt like summer break. A big part of that is my fault, but I won't take full responsibility just for being stubborn. I'm not going to touch on that this close to 3AM though. I need to get to bed.
