entry:

Hmmm... It was in the summer between eleventh and twelfth grade. It was the day before my 18th birthday, which means it was August 7th. It was th first time going to a concert on a Sunday. My mom said I could only miss youth for a concert if I went wit Danny and Josh. So, I went to church and sat between Danny Josh. After church we went to McDonald's. Then we went to Danny's house and watched Happy Gilmore. Then we went to Juno Beach and hung out with Luke. When we were done hanging out with Luke, we went to the Sound Advice. It was raining and Danny was too stubborn to let us get out of the car. So, finally we got out and went in. They cancelled the second stage because of the storm. Because of Danny's not wanting to get out of the car, we missed NEVERMORE. I love thm so much. rrrrrrrrrrrr. We saw Eric cause he works there now cause he's big enough to do security. THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN was so bad ass. The singer was going ape shit all over the giant stage. During the last song he got on top of the towering amps, and swung off a chord down back to the stage, then he ran out into the audience going down the rows of seats letting people sing into the mike, shaking people's hands, giving people hugs. Then he got back on thestag and just grabbed one of the drummer's symbol stands and threw it. Then he grabbed a speaker box and swung up to the front of the stage and stood on it and sang the end of the song like that. This was the closest I've ever sat at Sound Advice. I was so happy to see FEaR FactORY without stupid people booing them off the stage like at Jãgermaester. FEaR FactORY was soooo fucking awesome. Burton C. Bell asked everyone to give it up for Dimebag Darrell, and then they played the first part of WALK up until the first verse. DREAM THEATER was amazing. I mean, damn, That was the best part of the show. MEGADETH was awesome too. It was funny cause whenever Dave Mustain would talk, he would start off talking in some retarded goblin voice, and then he would go straight into his geeky normal voice. They had a crap load of pyrotechnics, it was so 80's. Danny and Josh didn't really wanna see them that bad, so I made them stay until they play Symphony of Destruction.
