Blink 182 concert



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLMjrtlXeGE

so, i really wanted to go to the Blink 182 concert, i must say i am a fan, and they are one of cj's favorite bands. the tickets were pretty expensive though. They were doing contests for free tickets on the radio station that i listen to, so i facebooked them, and asked if they were doing anymore contests. they said no, but they had extra tickets and that if i picked them up i could have them for free!
so we picked them up, and met our friends at the rose garden to wait in line. we waited for about 4 hours, but we had a good time just hanging out. when we got inside we found our seats, which were pretty good seats actually. (especially for free)
There were 2 bands before Blink, one called Chester French, they were weird but ok. and then Taking Back Sunday. They did pretty good, i havent really listened to them much before the concert, but there was this really fat girl 2 seats away from me, and she was like singing all the words and dancing and screaming the WHOLE time they were playing. it was kinda annoying (and gross)
When Blink came out though, they put on an amazing show. They loved portland, and said even though it was the smallest show of their tour so far, it was their favorite place. They had a HUGE light show thing behind them, it had 6 massive circle plasma screen things, and a ton of lights.
at the end the drummer Travis Barker (ranked one of the best skilled drummers in the world) did a drum solo, while levatating over the stage and crowd. I posted the URL to a video from the concert on youtube, i couldnt figure out how to upload it, but definitely watch it, its so cool!! :) i didnt take it, but it was better quality than all my videos. enjoy.
