"It was amazing! My girlfirend and I were at the very very front, so close that I could see each little individual fret on Chi's bass. We were pressed up against the small gaurd rail, so we had a perfect, unobstructed view and weren't stuck in a mosh pit. the 'tones came out around nine and opened with 'Be quiet and Drive'. Then they did 'My Own Summer', then 'Root'. Then they did 'Mascara', and then an amazing performance of 'Around the Fur'. During the quiet interlude, Chino leapt off the stage and landed right ontop of me and my girlfriend. It was cool, we all lifted him up and threw him back up on the stage (he didn't sing the end part of AtF). Then, Chino told some of the idiots in the crowd not to grab his shirt collar (he was being choked), and reminded everyone to be a little respectful towards onanother. After that, the order is a blur for me, I remember which songs, but not really in any particular order. They were: Bored, 7 Words, Lotion, Nosebleed, One Weak, Damone (this was AMAZING), Engine #9, This little quiet interlude thing, (it was just Chino whispering quietly), then I'm pretty sure that Dai the Flu was the closer. Chino came right up to me and my girlfriend, leaning a speaker, we reached out and shook his hand and stuff, he was literally inches from us, it was weird, but cool. Then they came back out and did a slightly slower version of 'headup' as an encore. Overall, an amazing show, best i've ever seen."

there it is, bye
