Tonight I'm reaching out to the stars...

This weekend has been pretty amazing, and I only say amazing because I can't think of any other words to adequately describe it. I spent the night with my sister and got to hang out with my niece Thursday night, and Friday I got to spend some time with her. I went to visit Shelby in Troy Friday night. We went to the baseball game and to eat with a few friends up there, it was fun, but the highlight of the night was defiantly right before we all left. We were all sitting in the car listening/singing Framing Hanley songs. Saturday started off normal, cleaning and such. Then Shelby came over and we got ready to go to Panama City. Forty outfits and a pile of clothes later, we were ready to go. We dropped my niece off at my dads house and drove down to PC. The ride down was fun, lots of singing, picture taking and talking about everything that has happened in our lives since we last got the chance to really talk. Once we got down there we decided to go shopping in the new shopping center. After looking in what felt like every store, Shelby ended up with a new shirt and I got a new North Face jacket for my upcoming Colorado ski trip. We then decided it was time for ice cream, and stopped by Coldstone, which was expensive, but very yummy. After a WalMart trip, another outfit change and a quick dinner (where we decided it was Shelby's birthday) we went over to La Vela for the concert. Luckily we got there early enough to get a spot in the middle and in the second row. The first band, The Veer Union, was awesome, I will defiantly be listening to them again. The second band that played was pretty good. But then Framing Hanley came on stage and it was amazing. The energy from the crowd was great, and since we were so close to the stage we got some amazing pictures and videos. Their songs are some of my absolute favorites, their lyrics have meaning, and hearing them live just made it even better. I can say it was one of my favorite concerts, only competing with the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus concert after the March 1st 2007 tornado. After they finished Lollipop, we waited for the underage kids to leave so we could actually move without running into someone. I got a t-shirt, and then met one of the guitarists for Framing Hanley. It was cool to joke around with him and realize the screaming fans haven't made them think they are better than everyone else, the fact that he was hot didn't hurt either. We left shortly after that and hit up the local McDonalds for some tasty food. The ride home was pretty good, it rained on and off the whole way back, and we listened to more Framing Hanley and talked about how awesome the concert was and how cool it would be to go to the one in Mississippi when they play with Hinder and Theory of a Deadman. We finally got home aroud three, and attempted to upload and edit all the pictures, but we realized we didn't have the energy for it and went to sleep around 4. All in all I must say it was a weekend that I will remember for the rest of my life, with a couple of awesome friends.
