Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Saw the Honda Civics tour last night with me pal, it was amaaaazing! I can not tell you how great it was! Just wonderful! But once again no autograph table for the headliner, Panic.
I 'm really upset that they took away the exclaim grrrrr....
The other bands were pretty good to.

Pantom Planet was the first band we came in just in time to see their last couple of songs. One of them being California! If you don't know that one... I'm disturbed. stare The lead singer also stage dived and never came back.... eek But it was the end of the set though so that was okay.

After that I saw The Hush Sound. The poor bassist had to keep yelling to of stage "Louder!" Poor guy, but he eventually got his sound, though I could have gone for more. Now your probably wondering... "Hey! YOU weren't in the moshpit! How do you know!?" well my pretties I know this because the venue for the show was quite small so I had a pretty darn good view. I'm also a master at reading lips. The Hush Sound was pretty good, very small set.

Then there was my mom and my friend's mom's least favorite band (they judged this after the first song) Motion City Sound track, and boy does the lead singer love the sound of his own band's name! Have fit it in whenever he could. Lots of peeps were singing along. I felt kinda amshamed that I couldn't sing along when he asked the crowd to... I personally didn't mind the set. I liked it infact. The lead singer said at one point "Let's hear you scream for Phantom Planet! *crowd screams* The Hush Sound! *crowd screams* Do any of you know The Matches? *crowd screms even louder* They aren't here but I like that band too." The keyboardist was so awesome. His dancing.... Genius. eek

Then after taking their sweet old time, Brendon, Specer, Ryan, and Jon came on stage! (in that order mind you wink ) The set was lovely, and they had flowers (fake ones) all over their mics. They dedicated two songs to me!!!! biggrin Alright fine... Not me PERSONALLY but they dedicated one to all the singles (the song dedicated to the singles was Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off) and then one was dedicated to everyone on the balcony [There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet (Me thinks...)]. The songs they played were... (not in this order) That Green Gentleman, Do you know what I'm seeing?, I Write Sins Not Tradgedies, But Only If You Do, I Have Friends In Holy Spaces, The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage, I Constantly Thank God For Esteban (or as Ryan said, "Yeah this song in the spanish versoin of Steven." wink , The Piano Knows Something I Don't Know, From Behind The Sea (poor Bren got so confused!), She's a Handsom Women, We're So Starving, Nine In The Afternoon, Pas De Cheval, Camisado, Northern Downpour, ending with an acoustic of Time To Dance and then the whole band came back for Mad As Rabbits.
Personally I think the set should have been longer. Ryan is so strong, I envy him for that. Thanks for being strong Ryan, thanks for telling us the story, and thanks for trusting us to listen, and we'll KEEP listening, no matter what. 3nodding


-----Funny Panic Moments-----

-When they were singing "Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs" Bren got so confused!

-When in "Most Fun" whenever Bredon had to say F*** (can I swear on here? confused ) he'd groan it and roll his eyes with a grin on his face. It was... so.... cute.... whee heart

-Ryan: Anyone single? *crowd screams* We're dedicating this song to all of you! Hey Brendon, aren't you single?
Bredon: *grinning and blushing a little* Yeah...
*Crowd screams even louder*

-We sang Brendon Happy Birthday. heart

-Jon stole Bren's beer. Shame Jon!

-Spencer had this sash on his head.... It was magical.... eek

-The crowd had to sing the piano part in time to dance because the pianist wasn't there for the acoustic. Brendon was the only one.

-Brendon played guitar the whole time.

-Jon and Bren traded instruments for one of the songs.

-----Just Some Weird/Funny moments-----

-When walking around, this guy yanked on my writstbands (you know the ones for causes, like cancer and aids?) I turned and said hello and he looks at all eight of my wristbands and says "You got a lot of love."

-A random person almost took some of our chips.

-In the bathroom in the stall I was in there was written "MCR is hott" and "Dir En Grey is sexy!" (those are two band that I love)

-When going home whenever anyone let I'd say "good bye," and every one would answer back, at a concert everyone is family. heart
I might add more later but right now I just want to go to bed. Missed our stop going home so we had to back track and we all came home at 12:26.
