1 : If you've seen an AFI show then you know there are no words that can truly encompass how remarkable and undeniably amazing they are live.
2 : If you haven't seen an AFI show then you need to. Right now. GO!!
But yea, I was in "my spot" as it has been rightfully named, (on the barricade about six inches right of Jade's mic.) Opening bands were awesome, Scarlet's Grey and then The Loved Ones...definitely made up for the disaster we had in Orlando who went by the name of Johnny Craig...*shudder* Anyways, AFI's set was fantastic; music was spot on, as always, the energy was incredible both from the band and the fans, and the DF was out in full, unbridled force. Some pictorial evidence for you here...
Absolutely stunning. I honestly don't think I have enough adjectives in my vocabulary to describe it all so I'll just leave it at that.
I managed to obtain (finagle) Jade's setlist after the show...
Lead singer of ModernHell took it right off the stage for me (Thank you Alex!! Awesome, hellaXrad job on "Love Is A Many..." btw, you
Hung out after the show with the DF fam. I got to talk to Adam again and took what has been dubbed the "cheesy myspace picture."
Stayed even later with a few die-hards and got to meet Davey too. Davey doesn't do pictures but I did get his sig, (even though it looks like he had a mild seizure in the process of signing my CD sleeve.)
Of course Jade's an elusive bastard, (lol, no I love ya man,) so I'll just have to wait until either the summer tour or the next BA show. One way or the other it will be finished, even if I have to wait another 12 fucking years. It's really ok though because that's just one more reason to go to every show possible until I get it completed.
So that's that...amazing band + awesome friends = killer, kick ass night! One more down in the record book. Ciao!
