I Survived Circa Survive

I just got home from another amazing night.

Me and my friend went to go see Circa Survive play at the Troubadour. I've been waiting for this show since I bought tickets 2 months ago. This would be the third time that I see them perform live. (still amazing)

I copied directions from mapquest. But, stupid thing got us lost. It was pretty simple directions. 105 W, 405 N, Exit Santa Monica Blvd., Go straight. End. Somehow along the way, Santa Monica Blvd, turned into a different street. We didn't make any turns, just straight. We got frustrated, so I called Tony Bologna to help us out. By the time I gave him our current location, we found our way. I said thank you to Tony, but he didn't know what for because he said he didn't do anything.

We arrive at the Troubadour at around 7:45. I thought we were late, but we got there just in time. There were 2 opening bands. I forget the names, but they weren't very good. The first band had maybe 2 good songs. It took a very long time for Circa's roadies to set up the equipment. While waiting the crowd is surging forward trying to get closer to the stage. I'm smashed.

Anthony Green (<3) steps out on stage and the crowd goes wild and surges some more, but he teases us and leaves. Finally the band is ready, and everyone appears on stage. I push my way closer to the front. Anthony starts singing and EVERYONE goes nuts. The crowd surges forward and side to side. I had my arm up and he gave me a high five. Later, when he was leaning forward over the crowd I touched his arm. <3 ( I know I sound really lame right now, but this is a big deal for me ).

With every high energy song, the crowd gets stronger and wilder. Me and my friend were pushing guys left and right. I got kicked in the head by a crowd surfer, elbowed in side of the head, and got the wind knocked out of me by this realllllyyyy fat guy. Sweat is everywhere. I couldn't tell if the sweat on my shirt was from me or the sweaty guy in front of me. :[ That was really gross. I semi-moshed with these dudes. I pulled down a crowd surfer instead of helping him up. I made those guys fear the 5 foot asian girl behind them. I must say that tonight was a pretty epic night. Loads of fun. Let out my aggressions. I got to push people around. I got to see a great band, just AMAZING.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I saw 2 of my friends at the show. Both coincidentally named Will. That was pretty cool to see them. I had a little crush on one of them :X I was buying a shirt after the show, and I see him. I gave him an awesome high five and a huge smile. As I'm walking towards the car, I get grossed out at how wet my shirt is. I decide to change my shirt in the car with the one I just bought.

On the way home, we stopped at Ihop to get some grub. We recap about the awesome night and talk about

who we pushed. hahaha. Now, I'm in bed, body sore. It's all worth it. :]
