Believers Never Die Part Deux

So, the Fall Out Boy Believers Never Die Part Deux concert was yesterday. It was out at Great Saltair. I had a really good time but it was absolutely crazy!

Anyone who has been to a concert, especially where there is no seating knows how crazy it can get. I've been to my share of concerts but never one that the moshing was so insane. One of the friends I went with failed to inform me she had never been in a mosh. So I had to try and keep her safe because she was freaking out. Furthermore, a mother had brought her 8 year old daughter and was close to the stage like we were. When the shoving and punching started the daughter started to cry but we were being pushed on so much that she couldn't move.

I really did try to help the mom while trying to protect my friend. Needless to say, I ended up on the ground and was missing both my shoes. Some guy who I don't know pulled me up and but me on his shoulders until he helped me find my shoes. My wrist is a little bruised and scratched up from being stepped on but I didn't break any bones and kept the girl and my friend safe.

Unfortunately I lost my license somewhere in the mosh. After the concert My friend and I got to meet and hang out with some of the guys from Lido Beach. Scott Waldman (Vocals and Guitar) Signed a cd for me. Then he sang a song directly to me and pretty much ignored everyone else. That in itself was pretty great!

First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work;

and second, the failure gives you the opportunity 

to try a new approach."

Phantom

So my grandmother decided it would be nice to take all the women and girls in the family out for a night. We all went to Cracker Barrell and then to Hale to see Phantom. Yes it's called Phantom not Phantom of the Opera. So that makes me wonder why everyone in my family with the exception of my cousin Shawnee and I thought it was going to be like the play by Andrew Lloyd Weber.

Anyways, dinner was good. I had some blackberry pancakes which were so covered in blackberries that I couldn't even see my pancakes and it looked as though I hadn't even eaten any. So them my cousin and I were wandering around the store looking and stuff and just talking. When we stumbled upon these...

Animal hats!! These things were amazing hers was a pig and mine was similar to the suit that Lane's mom buys his dad for christmas in "Better Off Dead". So it was pretty fun and although some parts of the play were a bit cheesy it was good overall. 

Halloween

As promised these are the previous years pictures...yeah they're pretty great.

Bugs Bunny

I don't know why but for some reason I am really proud of this. Sorry it's light I didn't have the option to darken when I uploaded it.

Halloween

So the comic I posted on the 24th made me think of what I was going to be for Halloween. Anyone who knows me is aware of just how much I hate the holiday. However the past couple years the family as been dressing up in themes and sending out cards. If you haven't seen them I'll post them sometime in the future. Anyways our theme for 09' I believe is Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel based costumes. Here's what I've narrowed my options down to. They are all so different and yet all so awesome.

Illyria as the villain in season 5 of Angel

The original costume Willow was wearing in the episode "Halloween" in season 2 of Buffy or...

Drusilla who is a semi villian at various times in both Buffy and Angel.

Anyways I want your thoughts on who I should be so let me know.
