December 15, 2003 @ Water Street Music Hall, Rochester, NY w/ Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line, Northstar, and The Reunion Show

Got to the Water Street and there isn't really anyone there. We were the first ones in line! Then like 5 minutes later, I see Floyd and Ed drive around. I had their present with me so I thought it would be best to give it to them then. I went around to the back to where they were and just said Eds name. He turned around and I gave him the present. I felt like such a dork but he opened it up and looked at it and said it was cute. He thanked me and told me to give him a hug so I did. Then we went back to the door. So we waited, and waited, and waited some more. Finally around 6, they let us in. We were first but me and this kid raced to the front. I won. It filled up so quickly. I was being squished before they even started playing. Northstar came out first. Holy crap, they were wicked awesome. I don't remember any song order but I will try to name them : Broken Parachute, Rigged and Ready, Taker Not A Giver, My Ricochet, Train Hopping In Dixieland, and they ended with Is This Thing Loaded? It was very cool. Adam even came out and sang one part of their song...possibly during the end of My Ricochet...singing "I guess it's that bad." The Reunion Show was next. They were alright I guess. Didn't play their best. Then finally...TAKING BACK SUNDAY! Amazing wouldn't even be able to describe it. Adam didn't have his cane anymore and he was definately moving around a lot...not as much as last time but still amazing. They started with You Know How I Do and then went into Bike Scene. After that was Cute Without The 'E'. Then I think they played Ghost Man On Third . Adam kept throwing his mic everywhere. Up in the air, around his neck, up in the metal things on the ceiling, just everywhere. It was so awesome. He dropped it a couple times though. Poor Ed looked tired. He was laying on the ground for a few minutes and Adam was like "You're not fat, you're just bigboned" Ed looked sad. Then...I think they played a new song. Then Great Romances Of The 20th Century, Head Club, The Blue Channel and You're So Last Summer. Yeah, that's definately not the right order. I don't remember which song but Kenny came out and started singing. He came off the stage and kinda got ontop of me which was kinda uncomfortable. Adam gave me the mic a few times. Hahaha, during one part of their song, I can't remember which song, they stopped and started playing Eminems new song Lose Yourself. It was so funny...I want to say it was during Bike Scene and then they finished the rest of their song. Then they ended with Timberwolves At New Jersey.. So after TBS, I crawled under the rail to leave because I didn't care to get killed anymore. Floyd must hate me. I can't hear a thing he says. I bought some zip-up thing and a T-shirt. Then after that I saw Carrie so I went to go say hi. Adam was with her. She told him about the site and the card and it was so awesome of her. About the site, he was like "Oh thats you too?" Haha. I am so creepy. I gave him a x-mas card too...I told him it goes with the collage that I had already given Eddie and he said he saw it. He said his hip was getting better. Yay! And Carrie took a pic of me and him then I hugged him. These people are so amazingly cool. Then I asked him if I could take another pic of him and Jill and Sam. He is so so nice. Then Jill started talking to him and he said sorry about what happened last time in Buffalo. Carrie introduced me to Derek(?) from TRS. He was really nice. Then I stayed in the back for a while. TSL sounded good...I couldn't see them at all though. Adam went on stage during I'm Real. It was super funny. He had his hat on and this big jacket. It was the greatest. Then near the end of their set, Mark came out to sing. Kenny kept asking him if he wanted to because I guess yesterday, he was with his friends so he didn't sing with them so Kenny made everyone boo Mark. Haha. Then Kenny tried to get Shaun to take his pants off...everyone was cheering him on. Hah. Mark is a funny singer. Then lets see...The show ended. We walked around, walked past Ed. He kinda ran after me and said something like "You're the one that made the poster, right?" Haha. And then he said that he was going to hang it on his wall. Aww. Then I saw Shaun and Mark signing ticket stubs so we make our way over there. I went up to Shaun and said hi and then he said something like "You were the one singing along to Northstar, right?" Haha, yup. Then I told him about the collage, he saw it too! He may of said it was cool and thanks...I don't really remember. Then I asked if we could all get a picture with him and Mark but we had to wait for Mark cause he kept signing stuff. Shaun apologized for him. Hehe. Then I said hi to Mark and asked him how he was and stuff. It was cool. I must've told both of them, and Adam, and Eddie, that they were amazing over 20 times each. So some kid took our picture. Then we made our way out of the place. They had some hotdog stand outside. Had to wait for the folks to pick me up to get something though. So my parents came, gave me money, and as I was getting my dog, Adam and some other guy came out. I thanked him again and the guy he was with(I don't know who he was but he was on stage, taping Northstar) said he saw me signing along to Northstar. Haha, everyone did. He said it was cool or something and asked if I had the cd and Adam was like "She knows whats up". Then I wished them a merry x-mas...and they left, we left. Snowing super hard coming home, almost got killed. Haha. But yeah, tonites show was a lot of fun.
