So my friend was all whining that he wishes we lived somewhere cool like San Fransisco, or New York or Seattle cause all the cool stuff happens there and I was all "Wait, Seattle?! I wanted to go there on the 27th!" And he was all you didn't invite me!! Then he pointed out that's a Wednesday and I already know he's got Tuesday and Wednesday off! So I was like LET'S GO!!! So we speculated how we could drive there and sleep in the back of the truck with a little blue tarp tent incase it rains. To save money of course, and how it's gotta be blue because that's just classy, none of that wild orange crap! Besides, it's a relatively new truck too so we shouldn't be mistaken for hicks that way!

The only thing we couldn't decide on is what kind of hitch hikers to pick up! They're all just so grungy and suspicious lookin', hookers, hobo's, backpackers. I think them kind that are just backpacking the country would be less threatening. Hookers got diseases and the hobo's got knives man! So the moral of this decision is don't pick up hitch hikers kids! No matter how guilty it makes you feel to drive passed them! Safety first. Anyway, after getting to the discussion of being in Seattle and what bands we would be going down to see he suddenly realized, oh.. he has to be at work in the morning by 9am Thursday! I insisted we could sell his truck for early flights home!!!!

Needless to say, I guess I won't be attending afterall. I tried.

Haha, it's all good! That's what I posted it for.

I hope this concert is SO amazing tonight that SOMEONE comes running over to join the forum and tell us about the great time I've missed!

I was a great concert! I went there to see Hinder! Didn't even know that Sick Puppies where playing that night! But, It was really a good set for them! I thought that they were better than Staind! But, I am not a really big fan of them! I really like all of there songs. Can not wait until they come back to town!

IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOW! I bought the tickets months before when it was only listed as 3 doors down and staind. I really wanted to see staind. When i got the wamu theater and saw a poster for sick puppies i about flipped out! They were awesome and IMHO had by far the best stage show of all four bands. I can't wait till they come back to my area!

[Shamrock]

Hey! Thanks for joining us. I'm glad you really enjoyed the concert and that we've got a fan in Seattle! I would have loved to have gone to this show, but it just wasn't the best time for me to be making a trip!

Wow I just found this post! This was the concert were I first heard Sick Puppies! My Husband and had gone to see Stained and 3doors Down. I was there with a badly messed up foot (arthritis, tendinitis, etc, and I had a serious fall to boot!) . My spouse told me we have seat numbers so no problem right? Well, the tickets were actual general admission! I had to stand for nearly the whole thing.

When we saw a band called Sick Puppies were up first, we were actually worried! I was like "OH NO! I hope they are not some seriously twisted, punk, nut jobs!" They weren't! LOL!

They were so good, I hopped on one foot to the whole set! It was Great! As soon as they mentioned that they would be out front for autographs, I got out there, and was first in line! My husband was a bit embarrassed because the first things I said was, "I never heard of you guys before!" However, I followed up with how good they were and how I was hopping on one good foot the whole time. They were very cool, even though I think they were still "coming down" from the set and the fans were totally intense! They autographed my tickets, since I had nothing else handy.

I really wish I had taken a picture some how then. Shim said we could get pictures later after the show, but my foot was so bad after, that we had to leave! (Actually shortly there after, I was in Physical Therapy for 2 months ... No ones fault but my own!) My only camera opportunities were from my cell phone, and one tiny, poor quality, video survived!

Anyhow just thought I'd share.
