Friday i went to a show at chain reaction. there was a million mile line out side the door that we had to wait in in the freezing cold. you'd think when it practically started raining they'd let you in but yeah no. anyways we got in and the first band started about a half hour later. he started off okay, mellow not too exciting...but by the end he had you wishing you were still stuck in the million mile line drenched in rain and getting pneumonia, because that trust me, would have been better than his music. half way through his second song i swear to god he turned into a woman, many bad Whitney Houston attempts later, Steven Tyler showed up, ooh no wait that was just chase page again screaming until everyone was silent because it was past laughing it was just embarrassing. unfortunately, he cut his set short. chase page, im sorry but i hope you learn.
the next band say anything, is amazing, on their cd at least, but live? not so good. the high-light of their set was a 12 year old, shoulder-length hair boy looking like he was about to have a heart attack from excitement of finally getting his 30 minutes of fame on stage. one of the guitarist walked off stage after 2 songs and i didnt see him again until about 11 when the show was over. very weird. i think they just had a bad choice in songs. dont worry say anything i still have faith in you. next time you'll shine.
the next band wasnt even on the line up, and i have a feeling they were actually trying to get banned from chain reaction. ironically their name was recover. which i had to do a lot of after the lead singer, pale but energized, jumped into the crowd nervously and stood up with his arms open wide in the air looking like he was begging to god or something, that or that he thought he was god. either way he looked like he should have been screaming "hail me!" at the top of his lungs while a light would shine down upon him, like in Bruce Almighty. before he made that sad, bad mistake the actual band wasnt too bad. compared to chase page at least, which unfortunately isnt saying much. 
finally armor for sleep came on. even though there band name sounds like a bad boxers brand or something, they turned out to be amazing. i have officially become on of the screaming at the top of their lungs trying to rape them on stage, fans. as has Lindsay and Sydney haha.
ooh and i scored a "new years day" cd and a stellar chase page sticker which yeah i know basically made the night. haha some greasy haired guy in a dress shirt who was standing in front of me and who i had unfortunately noticed staring at me during say anything turned around and quickly slipped me his bands cd (new years day) and then quickly turned around, not a word said. and some girl came up and gave me Evan and Lindsay chase page stickers, it was the shocker of the night that they didnt sell so they were forced to give them away. we went to Lindsay's after and ate cake. the night was fun. way fun.
