Had to take the one with Matt yourself, eh?

No, my friend took it. But I had to kind of lean back ('cause Matt was sitting on the steps of his bus)

hehehe... I'm trying to study, but I keep thinking about last night, both the concert and meeting Matt and the boys, and I find myself losing focus and sitting here with a goofy grin on my face.

I just listened to some of the studio versions of the tracks from last night. I love them so much now (more than before).
But the thing that really hit me was how energetic the band was. Matt in particular. Every line was sung with the emotive vigor that I imagine he would have intended when he wrote the songs. The studio versions seem so flat now. I still love them, of course, but it's like a different experience listening to them now.
For example, Alert Status Red. It's a pretty cool song, but the album version pales in comparison. I mean, I kind of expected Matt to sound like he does on the albums. But he has such a frantic energy live. Now, when I listen to album versions, I still hear that live energy. \m/

Awww Robbo I didn't realise you were a concert virgin. What a good way to lose it though 
I'm really glad you had such a great time
And Alana, I hope you got to go to the show.

I know, it's pathetic. But I was never really into music until my early teens, and even then I never liked a band long enough to want to go see them. Then OLP came and Mike left.
If the bands I've liked over the years would have come to Kingston, I probably would have seen a lot of shows. MG was actually the first artist I liked enough that I was planning on going out of town to see him (except for OLP, but again, after Gravity, I didn't really want to see them enough to make the effort). But then he put up a date for Kingston, so I was all set.
Besides, by the time I was in my late teens, I didn't want my first concert to be some crappy band that I was only kind of into. My first concert had to be something really good. My mind works on strange logic like that.

Rob's probably the only kid around that treats his concert virginity like most treat their actual virginity.
That being said, mgb took mine too. Unfortunatly I had just turned 12 and wasn't exactly as into them as I am now....
