The Concert Ended at 12:30am
I missed "The Start". Saw "Kenna" - who I found confusing. He was all hip-hop look/attitude but singing music similar to She Wants Revenge (SWR). The sound system was totally f-ed up (even during SWR) so all of Kenna's songs sounded like "mmmggbbbbmmm.... ooooohhhh". I thought his band was good but that he wasn't.
At the break, I moved from the 2nd level - right side of stage - to 1st level, directly in front of Adam's keyboards (about 3 people between him and me). Turned out to be a great spot - good people and awesome view. I didn't bring in my cellphone so that, for a change, I'd WATCH the show, instead of taping it.
SWR went on at 11pm. It was a good show - though, after seeing them so many times it's kinda hard for me to be an impartial judge. The music sounded great. But, again, the lead vocals mic was f-ed up so if you didn't already know lyrics to a song, you probably weren't going to be able to make them out. Justin (lead vocals) and Adam (keyboard & vocals) were clearly VERY happy to be back in SoCal and interacted with the audience a lot. We learned that Justin has a baby who, due to touring, he saw for the first time in a month today (must have been hard to leave to put on a show!). And Adam is the baby's godfather... new info to me.
The show ended around 12:30am. There was an announcement for an "after party in the lobby" which was a "hella lame" idea on a work night. As expected, no one stuck around. The DJ guy looked a little sad/lost/pathetic.
I made it out of the concert for just the $8 parking fee. $27 still in my pocket...woohoo!
Then I saw the Tshirts. Only $20, so I bought this one:
All good. Still made it out with $7 left. But something kept drawing me back to the shirts. Then I finally saw it:
Still a very reasonable night out... $75.50 = concert ticket ($25), parking, 2 shirts (both of which I'll wear), and a signed ticket. Still less than I would have dropped on booze alone in the past.
Annnddd... I got to my car around 12:45am and had a txt from C. But he had sent it 2 hrs earlier and didn't return my response. I suppose all bad little boys had already found comfy beds for the night.

how did i miss this post, Leenda - I'll never know. I'm too wrapped up in my own drama i think. Sadly - I can only wish I had done that shirt. That's a great design.
I'm glad you heard from C. Hopefully you two will get back into rhythm.
