entry:

Well, it was 10/16. It was during my first semester of college. I got in Brian's car and we went to Ft. Lauderdale. When we got there, we realized that they were using the outside part of the REVOLUTION for the show. That was cool because we had never been to a show in the outside part before. It's basically like a way bigger and way, way nicer SPANKY'S. (they took away the couches on the balcony though). We got there during CHIODOS. I was very surprised with them. They were really fuckin good. I was surprised that everyone knew the words to their songs. That was pretty weird. They had a guy in a penguin suit dance around on stage during their last song which was called "There's No Penguins in Alaska" or something like that.  Oh, and for the record, the only two people I recognized (besides Brian, duh) were that fat guy that I see at every hard core show ever with the sideways hat and that gothic he-she thing that I see every trendy show ever. EVERY TIME I DIE ripped that place up of course. Cassie texted me about how jealous she was. So I responded with "Sorry, but EVERY TIME I DIE is tearing shit up." I don't like FROM FIRST TO LAST at all. I think they fuckin sucked live, not just cause I don't like them. I texted Cassie during them, telling her "FROM FIRST TO LAST sounds like a donkey dick getting slapped up against a trash can." I just sat down between the bar and the ATM machine during them. I got right close up to the stage for ATREYU. Of course, as usual, they were fucking amazing as shit. Their set list was as follows:

1. Creature

2. A Song For the Optimist

3. The Crimson

4. The Theft

5. Aint Love Grand

6. This Flesh a Tomb

7. Her Portrait in Black

8. Right Side of the Bed

9. Ex's and Oh's

10. Your Private War

11. Blood Children

12. Bleeding Mascara

13. Finale

*. You Give Love a Bad Name

*. Lip Gloss and Black

Their was a big bro mosh pit on the floor behind me through their whole set. Whenever Alex said "This is our last song and it's called Finale" I was so pissed. I was totally going to walk out of there saying that was a really bad  show if I didn't hear Lip Gloss and Black. So, after they got off stage, the crowd called for an encore. So, they came out and did their cover of BON JOVI's "You Give Love a Bad Name." So, I was like "what the fuck!" but then he was like "This is our last song. For real this time." and I was just like "ok, this is it" and it was. The last three songs had everyone singing at once. It was bad ass. I texted Cassie and said "ATREYU sounded like every porn star combined into one and me doing her." So, I got home at about midnight. I fell straight asleep. At about 1 in the morning, I get a call from Tess and there was a worse emergency this time, and so I called Brian, woke his ass up, and had him take me to the E.R. at Good Sam's hospital. I'm still exhausted.
