Wow, the last two days have been busy, but a good busy

Friday was the Summer Sanitarium concert, and it was awesome! We missed Mudvayne and The Deftones ’cause of traffic, but I was so glad we made it for Linkin Park since I was mostly there to see them. I thought they’d be on after Limp Bizkit so I wasn’t able to get to the pit ’til 2 or 3 songs into the set, but once there, I was just rockin’ out (in the drizzling rain too!). I wanted to crowd-surf but had forgotten to give Brian my purse … but then again, he was already carrying stuff, so it was okay. But it was still fun, I got within about 20 feet of the stage, and I’m happy that I finally got to see them! I got their tour shirt, too. Limp Bizkit was cool ’cause Fred Durst (and security) walked around the perimeter of the pit (where we were standing ’cause Brian had been chatting with a security guy), so I was like 3 feet from him for a second. Too bad he didn’t stop by us. And he’s short, lol. They did an awesome version of “Faith,” complete with snippets from George Michael’s video. One (or two) of their songs also included pyrotechnics Metallica was okay, but that’s ’cause I only knew like 3 of the songs. But the songs I did know (”Nothing Else Matters,” “Enter Sandman,” “St. Anger,” and a little of “Sanitarium”) were awesome — they had fireworks, columns of fire everywhere, cool graphics … so I was definitely liking it. They did like 2 encores too. But all in all, it was a good night, and I’m glad I decided to go despite the high ticket price. Next time I’m getting in the front row and crowd-surfing!

And last night was repping at the DVN (Da Vinci’s Notebook) concert. I gotta go soon so I’ll just summarize: the other rep, Sam, was nice and will be a senior at JMU, ran into another Sam that I haven’t seen in forever and went to elementary and middle school with (and will be a sophomore at JMU), sold CDs and t-shirts and stickers and answered questions, helped set up and close down, got a free cup from Cartoon Johnny as thanks for helping, and talked a bit with all the bands. It was fun (and was DVN’s last time doing the show *sniff*), and my legs are now sore from standing the whole time

Anyway, I’m off to shower, so bye ’til later!
