yea that does suck...hmm i don't remember about when they played there last time...but I know it wasn't an over 21 cuz I wasn't 21 at the time...but I do remember them kicking us out of the venue after everybody had gotten their stuff signed and pictures taken and we chatted a bit. Whatever. I know I'll have a good time anyway.

Hello there I'm Vivian, and I am Really excited to be going to this show! Saw them at the Chameleon last year also and it was a FANTASTIC show. I hardly slept last night, and am up early.....Whadaya mean! There's an accoustic show prior to the evening show? Does it require your first born or something? Where do I sign? How does one get invited/sneak-in to these things?

(Is laughing at herself, its common...) The light-bulb finally goes ON! I didn't know Lancaster (City/town/whatever) had a curfew. Now it makes so much sense why all of the the staff were eager to see the back of us last year. (still laughing) I was ready to keep dancing/singing/drinking! And then next thing you know I'm eating breakfast at somewhere. But, it was a fantastic show, the energy was great, and I hope that Emma, Mark & Shim will get to play as long as they did last year.

Got an email yesterday that my 'pre order' bundle has shipped! FINALLY! (ewww that sounded bratty, sorry!) Believe you me, I already bought "Tri-Polar" off of Rhapsody and have been listening non-stop! I will be attending alone most likely, unless I can drag someone with me. Hope to meet up/introduce myself/help-out at the show if you need it. I'll be getting there around 5pm.

Looking forward to a great show! Viv

Okay so pre-concert last night was a nightmare. About 30-45 minutes into our nearly 2.5 hour drive, my car started smoking and overheating. In construction traffic on 81. So we had to pull over for about 15 minutes til my car cooled down a bit and stopped smoking. Then we had to get back in the lane and try to make it 2 miles to the nearest exit. Luckily there was a gas station immediately off the exit. This was at about 2:30. We left at 1:30 to get there early. At the gas station we had to wait another 30 minutes or so for the car to cool down enough to check the coolant level, and try to find out if that was part of the problem...My coolant tank was empty so we had to fill it, and then call my girlfriends mom to come meet us. She was nice enough to switch cars with us so we could still make it to the concert on time. We got going again after 4, with almost 2 hours left to go...We ended up pulling in to the parking garage at 5:55, al the while peeing ourselves that we weren't going to be anywhere near the front because we got there so late. Luckily most people had printed out tickets, and the people that had actual ones were sent around them, so by the time we got into the venue, there were like 8-10 rows of people but they were VERY spread out so we were able to get way up to the second row, and eventually the rail.

Bit of moshing behind us, but the show was AWESOME as usual. Afterwards my girlfriend stayed for the Encore while I went to do Ambassador stuff...and she snagged a setlist Which we got signed along with a few other things, including a picture of our cat Anzai with Tri-Polar (Emma was very amused) After autos and pictures I remembered (with my girlfriends help) to show them my new White Balloons inspired tattoo, and Emma was very excited and asked to take a picture of it. It was a very good end to a crappy start. Hopefully the Allentown show will go smoother...

I'll post a link to the pictures I got later...

EDIT: Here s the link to my photobucket with all the pictures...

Yeah, my mom is really really awesome. Everyone should love my mom.

It was an awesome show. I don't know if I'll ever get used to just how cool and nice the band is.

Well I'm guilty of being in the center of that pit the entire show! I didnt plan on moshing, and I never moshed before, but I LOVED IT! Apparently there was one guy who everyone hated, but the rest of them where pretty decent because whenever someone would go down a few of them would try their best to stop people till they got back up. I know I went down once and somebody threw me back up almost before I hit the ground. Same for the other people I was with. This was my most favorite show at the chameleon EVER!
