So the Dashboard concert was AWESOME. Great time. He did a sweet rendition of “Ender Will Save Us All” where the crowd sang a good third of it… Possibly my favorite of the night… but then again, there was an AMAZINGLY emotional “Remember To Breathe” and a very cool adlib style of “Hands Down”… … “Saints And Sailors” opened up the night on a highly powerful note of ROCK… the whole crowd of a sold-out Detroit State Theater was yelling the lyrics right back at him…
Hot Rod Circuit and Ash were the opening acts… but when Ash didn’t make it to the show on time due to car troubles… Dashboard decided to just play an extra long set… darn… thats a bummer…
An all accoustic (no band, just Chris and a guitar) version of “The Sharp Hint of New Tears” was a cool crowd sing-a-long time. When they finished up the set list they left only to return to an encore performance of the entire “So Impossible EP” He played all four songs in order from start to finish telling a story… sweet finish.
THEN, BGSU’s football team pulled off an AMAZING comeback in an overtime game of do or die with Western Michigan on Saturday night… we won 48-45 in OT. We’re now undefeated at 7-0 and are moving up in the national rankings… We were 23rd and 25th before tonight… First ranking since 1985. BUT we should move up now that we’ve won again and still averaged around 50 points a game… we’ve got a CRUSHING team this year. Very exciting time to be here and able to brag that our team doesn’t suck for once!
Sarah and I decided against celebrating “Sweetest Day” or whatever it is… It’s a hallmark holiday that makes me waste money… but the best part is, SHE was the one to bring up the idea of skipping it… thus I wasn’t a jerk. And hey, I’ve spent enough money on concert tickets for the three shows we’re going to… er… one we went to and two more to come… but I still felt kinda bad not buying her anything for today just cuz I wanted to… she’s awesome. very very very… awesome… and so dang cute! The scary part is, she knows it… and she can use it against me… manipulation by women… VERY dangerous…
My palm pilot is here! yay! Nerdery is fully functioning now. I’m gonna have “Palm Intercourse” with Ed and Ben tomorrow at the Creek. They’re gonna beam me stuff… OK, alas, I must leave you (like anyone reads this!) for it is 1:16am and I have to get up at 7:30 for work. Peace to the izzout! I’m GONE!
Mood: Very Very Very at peace… (and oh so tired.)
Music: duh… Dashboard Confessional… any song will do.
