Midway Stadium*St Paul, MN

This show was at the Warped Tour.  My friends and I had to wait the whole day, because Reel Big Fish was last. Meanwhile, throughout the day, we went over to the Reel Big Fish tent and saw that our friend "Punky" was there!  Which we got really excited to see her again.  She remembered us from the last show, which was real neat.  Andrew was in the tent too, helping to sell the merchandise. During the Less Than Jake set, my best friend and I spotted Aaron watching the show behind us.  We waited until the set was over and then went over to him and introduced ourselves.  He was really nice and started to walk with us over to the other set, where the Mighty Mighty Bosstones were getting ready to play.  We asked him if they were planning on playing Unity, because that was the song that we really wanted to hear that day.  He said that it wasn't on their play list.  So we asked him if he would be ever so kind to play it anyways.  Which he said that he would see what he could do.  We chatted a bit more, but then we heard the Bosstones start up, so we left Aaron and ran to go and watch the show. When the big festival was near an end, Reel Big Fish got up on stage.  I was so pumped for this show and I was happy that I didn't have to have the back pack on that my best friend and I had been rotating throughout the day (sorry Katie!!).  Reel Big Fish played an awesome set.  I was going nuts in the pit.  It totally made our night when Aaron played Unity for my friend and I. After the show, I went over to the side and had Scott sign my ticket.  I tried to talk to him, but he was busy signing other people's things, that I just gave up and went home.
