aww, I totally want to go to Koufax now for a mini-CM meetup/reunion of sorts.
Anyway, you've put me in a review mode, so here I go:
Okay, so AFI in New York. Best concert ever. Anyways, I get there at 12 p.m., yeah I know, 7 hours early Megan, why on Earth would you do such a thing? Well, since our hotel checkout was at 11 we had absolutely nothing else to do besides cruise Chili Street and anyone from Rochester would know it would be a lot better to be bored to death waiting in line for 7 hours. Anyway, we get there just at AFI are getting off of their tourbus, it was pretty sweet. Okay show time.
First band was Static Age. They're a Jade Tree band, and sound like a Jade Tree band. This is not a bad thing, they were really good. The keyboard chick had the coolest hair on Earth, I was gonna go get a picture with her after just so I could have a picture of her hair. Anyways.
Next up was The Explosion. This was my 3rd time seeing them and OMG I love them now. They're a 70's-ish style punk band who have crazy energy. SO SO good, everyone check them out.
Next up, freaking AFI. Everyone was screaming "Through our bleeding, We are one" before, which is standard, and the ugly bald security guy was making fun of the crowd, I just wanted to punch him. And I could have, because waiting in line for 7 hours has it's benefits, I was in the freaking front row, next to Jade. Awesome. Okay, this is getting really long, but AFI rocked. They played some old stuff which was freakin' cool. Loved it. Oh and I got punched by this stupid chick who I got in a fight with during a show, definite highlight of the night.
After the show I waited behing and met and got pictures with all of the band, minus Davey because he was born in Rochester so he was hanging with the fam. Understood. I didn't mind though, because I got to freaking meet Jade. Oh, and Hunter is the funniest dude I've ever met in my life.
Okay, that's WAY too long, and probably boring. Pictures coming soon.
