OMFG RISE AGAINST BAD RELIGION 4 TIMES FOR THE WIN!!!!!
Haha, this week and a half (starting Mon) is seriously shaping up to be the best week of my life! Monday started a Courtrina adventure with Walmart. 5 below, n Denny's. The Tuesday, we woke up early, packed a cooler, and went to the 9:30 club in DC to see Rise Against and Bad Religion. We got there at 12:30, and talked to roadies, played Scrabble n Jenga and Go Fish with people who joined us in line. The doors opened at 6:30, we were one of the first in the club, and it was AWESOME! Front n center the whole time, total awesomeness. We hung around afterwords and met RA, and holy god they're a cool bunch of dudes. Zach especially, talked to us for a bit, and one of the dude we ended up hanging out with got guestlisted for the next night in bmore! After, there was Denny's fun, and crashing at 4 AM.
Part 2! We got up again, and this time, picked up our buddy that got guestlisted, chilled outside Rams Head Live, and added the coolest 13 year old kid ever (Lil Bro!), and two others and I was the FIRST in the club! Legit! We did the Rockstar Entrance and paid an extra 10 to do it, and ALL of us were front n center. Such awesomeness, and the band was pointing us out. It did get a little violent at points, the crowd surfers were horrific! But in the end, it was truly awesome. There were group hugs all over the place. And our newly adopted Lil Bro got to meet the band, and the look on his face was amazing! This kid's life was made, Zach was truly amazing, and talked shop with him about guitar and such. We've become a Show Family. We took care of each other, and we all had amazing nights, celebrated our successes getting concert memorabilia and just generally connected over a great band.
I hope that Philly is just as awesome, and I can't wait for parts 3 and 4 of the Courtrina adventure.
