Holy hangover, Batman. But, DAMN was that an AMAZING show last night. Even though, get this, Christian was the freaking opening act!! So, we sadly only got like an hour but what an hour it was. Seriously, it's in my top 5 shows. My voice is gone, my ears are still buzzing a bit. I'm not even sure where to freaking start.... LOL

I went to the show with my friends who we will call K and R. Another friend of ours was supposed to come, but she was having a bad day and felt like crap so stayed home instead. When R & I got there, there was a woman behind us who was buying a ticket at the door, but we had an extra, so R just gave it to her. R is awesome. And yay, new friend! We made lots of new friends last night. LOL K was meeting us there as she was coming from her own place. We got there about 7:30, so we had an hour to wait and got ourselves set in a pretty decent location. Maybe 5 or 6 people back from the stage. Not bad at all.

Then finally it was time for the SHOW!! hgfkytdkyxkyljuhgrfahrfa OK, so, set list.

He opened with American Made then Calling All Country Women. The closed with Luckenback, TX and The House Rules. The other songs in no particular order since I can't remember were Something's Gotta Give, Happy Man, Let Me Go, Thinking of You, Middle American Saturday Night and that's all I remember right now. That might be it actually.

ETA: Oh!! How could I forget this!! Riley Freaking Smith was in town filming for The Playboy Club, so Christian called him up on stage to sing with him during Luckenbach, TX. It was awesome!!

But, the best thing EVER happened during Middle American Saturday Night. OK, so, here's the thing. I'm 6' tall in flats. Last night I had on 2 1/2" heels. I had a good 5" on everyone else in that place. Plus with the fauxhawk hair, I'm kind of hard to miss. LOL And apparently, I was like the only one who knew MASN. Plus I was having a good old time. Singing, dancing generally acting like an idiot. So, during MASN. Christian looks out into the audience and I get the point and smile! \o/ Woohoo!! That was fantastic.

Then after, K was trying to do her thing to see if we could somehow get into the VIP room. If anyone could do it, she could. So, we're all standing at the bottom of the stairs chilling and trying to figure out what to do next when this guy walks by, stops and points right at me and says, "You! You were awesome! I saw dancing and singing along with everything!" I was like, "Hell yeah!" We high five and click beer bottles and he goes on his way. 10 seconds later, my brain kicks in, and OH HOLY SHIT THAT WAS THE FUCKING DRUMMER!! ;sakjrdg;sdaohgsrdhg We wander after him out into the main part of the bar. R was waiting out there at a table where we had ordered food anyway, cos, dude, this is my IN, right? But shit like this never happens to me so I don't know what to do. As I'm working up the courage to go over to his table and offer to buy him a drink, this whole group of people walk over and join him. Dammit. Moment, lost. We ended up passing each other in the hall a couple more times with waves and high fives and as he was possibly on the way out, I manage to actually work up the nerve to stop and ask if he has time for a drink. Sadly, he does not as he had family in town and he needed to go catch up with them. But still, it was awesome.

So, now K & I are trying to figure out if we can get down to Illiopolis tonight for the headlining show Christian is doing. It's like 3 1/2 hours away and we'd probably have to spend the night. Luckily, I have an overnight bag as I spent the night at R's place. So, yeah. I don't know. We'll see.

I only took a few pictures with my phone as I was too distracted by the HOT to not just stare at it. But my pictures are HERE if you want to take a look.

And now, it is time for the Star Trek Con! Woot! :-)

You guys!! NKTOBSB was sooooooooooooooooooooo amazing. If you have any love for these boys at all, I highly recommend going to check out the show if you can. It was great cos it wasn't like New Kids did their thing and then BSB did their thing or something like that. They really shared the stage. New Kids then BSB, then New Kids again, then a joint number. It was fantastic. No pictures cos we were waaaaaaaay up in the nosebleeds, but that's OK. It was awesome. I do have THIS PIC of all of us in our shirts. The "T" girl never showed for some reason. :-( So we were Incomplete.... Bwa ha ha! Sorry...

Anyway, I just have to say that these boys still have it. They sounded phenomenal. No lip syncing at all. They still have the moves. The New Kids did put their hands in their pants and did the New Kids dance. And Joey... OMG JOEY!! Boy grew up FIIIIIIIIIIIIINE. At one point, they came out dressed in military inspired garb and he had on the tight pants and the knee high Fuck Me Boots. Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng. If we had been any closer, I may have died from the hotness. Donnie ripped his tank top off with his bare hands. Nick is still fuck-ass crazy. We definitely missed Kevin. I was sad he didn't join back up with the Boys when they reunited. :-(

So, yeah. FANTASTIC SHOW. Go see it if you can. You won't be disappointed.

Expanding on my tumblr post from earlier...

Here's what I said:
All The Warblers need to get together and go on tour where they do their own music. Luke & Jon & Matt & Brock & Riker & Curt & Titus & everyone doing what they love. Wouldn’t that be awesome? We can call it The Unwarbled Tour. How can we make that happen?


The more I think about this, the more I want this to happen. I just have no idea where to even start trying to organize anything like this.

But, seriously. This could be so successful. They have a TON of fans. The Warblers really are like rock stars now. There are plenty of decent sized clubs out there that aren't huge and that wouldn't have super expensive ticket prices. And after seeing the little mini-Warblers concert that happens in the middle of the Glee Live tour and the fans response to them, it's amazing. I'm sure a large part of that was for Darren, but the other boys definitely have plenty of fans in their own right. I mean, there was practically an uproar when we all found out Dominic wasn't going to be on the tour.

I just... I WANT THIS. I want to do this. I want to help these boys because they are soooooo amazing and deserve all the success they can get.

If you like this idea and you have a tumblr, please go here and reblog and like the post. Let's get the word out!

DAMMIT!

So, I had convinced [livejournal.com profile] queeneve_84 and [livejournal.com profile] rainbowmcgee09 to come to the YouTube DigiTour thing with me down in Urbana on May 7th on the word of StarKid that Darren was going to be with them. Cos, dude, how awesome would that be? StarKid reunited? Totally Awesome!

But now, apparently Darren is going to be doing a benefit in LA with the Warblers on May 7. Ugh, guys, I'm sorry. If you don't want to go anymore that's fine. I think we could have fun anyway cos everyone else really is amazing and it's bound to be an excellent show. So, let me know what you think.

And this is apparently my week to be disappointed in concerts. I <3 30 Seconds To Mars like no one's business as most of you are aware, I think. Their newest album, This Is War, is seriously one of the most amazing records I've ever heard. Seriously, beginning to end, just phenomenal. So, anyway, I've been like stalking their website to see when the tour starts and when they would be coming to Chicago. Guess when they were in Chicago? WHEN I WAS IN VEGAS! Ugh. Seriously? Boo. :P But, whatever. They'll come through again. Well, guess what? THEY ARE! They're going to be headlining the local radio station's summer rock fest thing. And, best of all, lawn seats are only $10! Awesome! When is this amazing show going to be? Saturday, June 4. Sounds excellent! Wait, it doesn't? Oh, that's right. I'LL BE AT THE GLEE LIVE SHOW THAT DAY! I'm just apparently destined to never see 30STM live ever. :P
