i can never hit the high ones

so if you've paid attention on here for a little while you know i have this propensity to beleive that finding a penny and reciting a little poem brings good luck. therefore, finding a penny right in front of me waiting for the bus last night pretty much guaranteed a good night.
hokay, so.
door at 7, i got there at 5:30 cause i had this pass i found to let me take pictures from right against the stage and i didnt want to get shafted on anything. so night begins with me finding the muchmusic people who live in an RV and getting a green wristband from them so i can do that. what to do whiel waiting for wristband...oh i'll chat with you guys who are from much and the bassist and F11. he was excited about having taken the skytrain for the very first time.
ok so thn random guy travis and i are sitting there talking about concerts we've been to much like people do outside waiting for one to start. we got talk to the MM people more. we get lanyards and sign up for the F11 street team. we get in line with a few other people and we're the rowdiest group in the entire line of about 2000 people.
so they're filming this show for a dvd. so muchmusic girl comes up to travis and me "you guys were here the earliest and youve been really cool aboutasking things so can i film you for the dvd?" hi, yeah, let me even try to consider saying no.
so there's that. plus they filmed a bunch of extra stuff with the bunch of us just goofing around outside.
ok, concert starts, front and center as required, won't have it any other way.
lalalala get to take pictures of Strata right up against the stage. went back in to the crowd front and center for Inward Eye. fuck they were good, they dont even have a record out yet but im so buying it when they do.
ok and finger 11 comes on and i go back out to the stage for 10 minutes or so taking picahtures. just aboot got conked out by james and his guitar leaning over the edge.
ok, got enough pictures, go back in the crowd to find mosh pit.
enter mosh pit.
first thing you see upon enter mosh pit: dude who looks like Brandon Lee in the Crow only twice as big. so ok, as strange as it seems, as opposed to the skipknot pits, i actually came out with bruises and sore as hell and hurting all over from this one.
also got all of One Thing on video, and as soon as my videocompressor stops being a dick i will have that up.
oh and they played Patience for the encore which was wiiiiiiiiiicked.
and then after travis and i hugn around and chatted with the Much peoples more and the rest of F11 and it was cool.
and then we went to the skytrain and there were these three chicks there who waved, so us being very tired and much appeased by juts having seen an awesome concert wave back and somehow this turns into them following us onto the skytrain and sitting on us. strange.
and then i walked home and then i slept and im amazed i made it through the day.
ok that is my story bye.
