rose above my expecations

I went to the Rise Against concert last night and it was seriously face melting. My experience was AMAZING and I've decided Travis is the BEST concert buddy in the world! This was actually our first concert experience together. I must say that from now on, every concert I want to go to I'm taking him along! He protected me the entire time! Concerts can be icky and gross because of all the sweaty bodies but it was so worth it! Travis basically made a halo with his arms and I stood in it. No one touched me! Travis is seriously my hero! He is so big and so strong!!

We were in the middle of the floor and I was satisfied, jumping, screaming, singing and enjoying the experience, but at one point, I desperately needed to be closer. The closest. I told Travis, "You're getting me to the bar." And SO HE DID. He picked me up like a little doll and shoved a ton of people out of the way. I didn't know what was happening or where we were going. Up was down, down was up, and I had no concept of left or right. Then all of the sudden Travis whipped me around and BAM, there was the bar! I was right up there, feeling the sweat and spit of Tim McIlrath! They played several of my favorite songs and my throat is coarse from screaming.

I'm sure people look at me and think, "what a poser." Well if you think that, you're right. I'm sick of being a poser.... of a goody goody! I'm a wild woman at heart and I LET LOOSE last night! I went crazy all over the place. It was incredible! I'm not pretending to be a crazy concert goer, I'm pretending to be a molly! ;) This is what I am and I used to go to concerts all the time! I forgot how much stamina I have. I think I'll be going to more concerts soon.

I had very very high expectations of Rise Against. Travis had seen them 3 times previous to last night and told me all about them. My friend Dayna also spoke highly of them. They were MORE than I imagined! The stage presence, the music, the energy..... by the end of the night all I could say was, "That was totally WICKED!" (If you know where this line comes from I'll give you 17 cool points). I've seen many many bands perform. Honestly, Rise Against is my favorite band and by far the best I've ever seen! SICK!
