I've been experiencing a little too much time off, haha. I will regret typing this come the commencement of my second post-secondary year =/
All Time Low (Along with Days Difference, Cartel and We The Kings) was amazing beyond belief last night. It was sweaty it, it was hot (both in the literal sense and the slang sense) and it was whack. No mosh pits had ensued and for good reason, because the ENTIRE freakin' crowd was a mosh pit; not to mention the "Wall of Death" that was commenced by All Time Low's own Alex Gaskarth. It was satisfying to pseudo-tackle people around. At one point the entire center portion of the crowd collapsed and fell to the ground. It was also extra satisfying to go from way off into the sides and into the front. Aggression is the key here, haha. Much screaming had happened, many lost shoes, celebrity water bottles, picks and drum sticks. Some people (like me) endured it all (extremely worth it, I got Jack Barakat's pick! I also got my sister a We The King's pick, I don't know who used it), others simply could not take the madness of the crowd due to their inability to properly inhale and exhale and getting stomped and shoved. Many girls attempted to get through my spot along with my sister and friends. I Never let them through, once. They complained and bitched about it every now and then ("this guy won't fuckin' move") and one of them actually tried to pinch and annoy me, I caught the girl's hand and shoved it back, much to her dismay. No attempts were made beyond that. I really did get angry at times, one time I literally shouted to a group of girls "FUCK YOU!" The space in the concert was so tight, you literally had no space to move your arms. My chest felt like it was being compressed. At some point I felt like I was gonna faint from the lack of proper oxygenation. But once you get to the front, the cool breeze from the air-conditioned stage goes through you and the relief is very soothing. People were leaning on me, and my arms were on my friends shoulders. Everyone wanted to take pictures so they tried their hardest to do this. At one point, this cute/hot chick put her arms on my shoulder and said: "I'm sorry if I'm invading your personal space." She was a nice gal, wearing a plaid shirt. I felt something soft on my back. Her chest was completely leaning on me, so soft and so warm. My answer was without a doubt: "Not a problem." =) Unfortunately, not all the girls were like her. Some were fat sweaty fan girls and others were simply too young and weird. There was also a huge Mohawk guy who smelt so bad. Water was another big problem. I was afraid of being dehydrated. 4 hours, standing up while you sweat like you're playing a sport plus the heat....it honestly got me worried. But then I remembered, a man can last 2 days with no water intake. After the concert I chugged down a bottle of water in 3 seconds. Water never tasted so good.
All in all, it was the most fun I've had this year or rather, in a long time. And that's precisely my dilemma.
I am now at an "All Time Low" because I don't really have much exciting events to look forward to now. Alex Wong has his birthday jam goin' tomorow, which is cool and all. But I feel this emptiness in me right now. I need to do something meaningful. It's probably because I've spent so much of my positive energy last night. What a freakin' night.
That's All Folks,
Alan
P.S. I will post up some pictures and videos of the band and their respective performances ASAP.
