About three months ago, I moved into a new house. I couldn't put anything on the walls due to the promise of painting my room once it warmed up.
This weekend, I finally painted my room. The walls were once an incredibly bright (and obnoxious) shade of orange that I decided had to go, since it didn't match my bed spread or anything else. In order to save my vision, I painted the walls a shade of teal that is bright, but not blinding.
Then I realized... "wait, I don't have any posters to put up on my walls."
That was a lie, though, because I did have one poster. It was of Paramore, but I unrolled it only to find that it had a rather large rip down the center of it, leaving me unable to put it up.
So I decided to scour through all the issues of Alternative Press that had been taking up room on my bookshelf for posters, pictures of bands, whatever I could find. I stumbled upon the 2009 Glamour Kills Tour (headlined by All Time Low) poster in an issue, and then proceeded to relive that entire night in my head.
To save you from boredom, I won't retell it all. It was a fantastic concert (I attended the date in Buffalo on 12/1). I waited outside All Time Low's bus afterwards in hope that I would meet them; I did. They all came out about 45 minutes after the show had ended, except for their drummer Rian. I got to talk to them, and I got an autograph from their guitarist Jack. That night will forever be my second favorite night I've experienced in my life.
The first being the Believers Never Die (Part Deux) tour. For the sake of avoiding being redundant, I won't go into the story of my first Fall Out Boy meet and greet again (I think I covered it in a previous post).
So I spent the majority of my Sunday reliving my past, reminding myself why I love music so much. I'd say it's a day well spent, and hopefully I can have more experiences, like my past ones, in the future.
If you've never experienced this, I strongly recommend that you do. If you're like me, it'll make you feel like you're on a weird sort of high (minus the drugs). Music just has that affect.
And for those of you who were wondering, I found tour posters for both of those tours and they're both going to be on my wall when they come in the mail.
Though I know none of you were wondering.
