The Concert Fucking Ruled!...and then there was Today.

The Concert was freakin' awesome!

I got up at 5:45, took a shower and everything. We left at 7 to go get the other guy that was coming with us, Mike. We got to Hawthorne Racetrack at around 9, brought out our chairs, and chilled. Elizabeth [aunt] cooked food. I had an alcoholic beverage; Lemonade Hooch. It was okay...the gates opened at 1, we went in at around 2:30 we got rather good seats...er...ground, since we couldn't bring chairs or ANYTHING in. They took away someones banana!

The first band that played was Mudvayne. At first, I wasn't really sure if it was them, because they didn't have all of their paint on, or anything. I'm not really into the heavy/hard metal, but they were okay. I didn't really know their songs, so I just stood around...and woooooooo'ed when they were done.

After Mudvayne came the Deftones. The same thing goes for them what I said for the Deftones, just woooo'ed at the end.

Next was the 2nd best band there: Linkin Park. They gave the 2nd best show I've seen in my life. The third best was Disturbed. It was great. Everyone sang along, with every song. I'd kill to see them again. Superb show.

Limp Bizkit was good in my books, until last night at the concert. They played 5 songs, that's it...only 3 were theirs. He was talking shit and everything, and everyone was cool with that...then he was shooting blanks with a gun. Everyone up front was throwing things at him, and I guess he got hit with a shoe, so he walked off stage, then got boooooed. They're still good, I guess, I just think he's a bitch for doing that. He can't handle the booing? If he was true to his fans, he would have stayed. DIE FRED IF YOU READ THIS! (I know you don't, though.)

About an hour-hour and a half later, METALLICA came on. Their performance was the best! Killer performance, killer crowd pleasers, killer fan interaction. They stopped after a little bit...and everyone clapped, ,and chanted "more, more, more". We all knew they weren't done, and they came back out, played some more, then stopped again. They came back out and said "Metallica hasn't played nearly enough songs, have they?" Everyone said "Hell no!!!!". Then they did a sound check with us...Metallica: "Give me an M" Crowd: "M!!!" M: "Give me an E" C: "E!!!!" M: "Give me an A" C: "A!!!" M: "Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desier!!!" c: "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" It was just freaking insane. Insane, but great!! Once again, I'd kill to see them again.

We weren't really that close the whole day, but once Metallica started, we were close enough. There was a moshpit right by us. There was only one person seperating me from the pit. I was watching it and said to my aunt "Holy fuck that's insane shit!" Then she said "go in it!" I was like "fuck that." Then she called me a pussy, and I said..."I'd rather be called a pussy by not going in there than being all fucked up." I saw a guy come outta there with both of his wrists broke, or sprained, one of the two. And all around us was weed, so I was probably a little high off of fumes. I also got hit in the head, with a bottle! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

When we got back to the car, it was l1:17, so Metallica finished around...11:10 or so. We didn't leave the parking lot until 12:45 or so, because people in Illinois DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE! (Sorry, Andrea, even though you don't drive, you're still from Illinois.) We got back home at 3:00, and I slept until 1.

That was the concert.

Today, I left at 3 to go see Finding Nemo with Dad and Molly. It was pretty funny. I'll give it a B-. Then I watched WWE Vengeance. It sucked, pretty much, but who cares, wrestling is wrestling.
