Ash.... Perfect. Absolutely bloody perfect! It had a lot of Tim's bad jokes (told in sexy Irish-ness), Rick being an ass, and Mark... just kinda off to the side since I couldn't really see him from behind all the tallness infront of me. Chaz was playing wonderfully. At several points Tim and Chaz had that guitar-duel-bordering-on-sex moment and it was beautiful. I was singing along to every single song and was, sadly, the only one bouncing up and down for a majority of the songs.

They did: Jesus Says, Girl from Mars, Goldfinger, Cherry Bomb, Walking Barefoot, Shining Light, Folk Song, Kung Fu, A Life Less Ordinary, and Burn Baby Burn. Went insane for all of them (especially ALLO), but was disappointed that they didn't play Submission or Candy. Oh well.

On a side note: when sis and I got to the HardRock, the line already grew to about 1/5 the circumference of the circular casino floor. Shit. And we were still a measely two hours early. I would've wanted us to be five hours early, but dad wasn't willing to drive us over at such an early hour (2:00pm to be exact) and sis was still finishing up her AP homework. Damn.

I'm just hoping that Ash decides to go on tour with Saves the Day come January. They're doing it with Dashboard but... by the time the tour gets here Ash's off to England again. Grr.

So, the experience would've been heightened if a) we were closer b) the girls around me didn't give me bizarre looks while I sang and jumped around c) more people were singing/screaming along and jumping around.

Then again, the room was full of Coldplay fans... so everyone was more or less mellow.

Come Coldplay sis and I got out of the center crowd and walked around, had a bit of an argument, and I left her standing on the side wall until the last song.
Coldplay was good... but their music really isn't the type to be standing up for. I was feeling sleepy mid-set. To keep awake I walked around. There was an abundance of gay guys there (including the same old man sporting the purple sequence suit that was also at BGHS's JCSS and RENT), people taking pictures of themselves at the concert (obvious newbie concerters), and a really cute asian girl couple who were five minutes from sex the entire concert.

Didn't seen anyone that I recognized (short of the old man) so at some point I decided to stand and watch for a bit. This blonde guy kept inching closer and closer to me. Whether it was to get a better view or... some other reason... I'm not sure. So I just went to the other side of the second terrace.

And now I have homework and church... yay...
