exsequar*FLOPS*
Home again, but not drunk this time! Instead exhausted and sore and satisfied :D We The Kings and The Academy Is... ROCKED MY FACE OFF!!!! I don't care what anyone says, I ADORE WTK and their music ridiiiiiculous amounts. They may be "just another pop rock band," but they are a massive cut above most generic stuff. They have so much energy and catchiness! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Travis's voice. And his red hair <3 (He has decided to make preserving the redheads a personal cause, since apparently they'll be extinct in some number of years? They're selling tshirts that say I LOVE RED HEADS, and I wanted one so bad (three of my best friends are red heads!) but uh, I also want to be able to buy food.)
ANYWAY.
I didn't know Hunter was a great singer too! He sang several parts and I was all ♥__♥. I was hearteyesing at him a lot anyway, just cause he's so exuberant and awesome! He goes and gets all up in Travis's space, and Drew's - it makes me lol how different he and his brother (Drew) are, cause Drew's all "I'm a ninja, you can't see me even though I'm on stage with spotlights pointed at me. See, you won't even see my face through the curtain of hair!" Tis adorable. And one time Hunter FLUNG HIS GUITAR AROUND HIS NECK, FRANK IERO STYLE. I almost died <33333 In short, I LOVE WE THE KINGS A LOT. &theirfaces;
And of course Academyyyyyyy!! Billiam is just made for the stage, you all know this! Their set felt like INFINITY LONG, I think it was actually an hour and a half! They played anything and everything - Neighbors, ALMOST HERE, Down and Out, Phrase That Pays, Big Mess, Forever Young, His Girl Friday, About a Girl, RUMORED NIGHTS <333, Beware Cougar, Automatic Eyes, Midtown Show, Checkmarks, Slow Down, Seed, probably a couple I'm forgetting, and a NEW acoustic song that Bill said they wrote last week! IT WAS REALLY PRETTY! <3 I have video of it and so does![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaneen, though I bet it's on the internet already cause I don't think tonight was the first time they played it. The whole show was awesome awesome and I had a TOTAL BLAST.
And I briefly met Jack the Camera Guy, HEE! Laura and I were standing on a set of stairs right behind the sound booth (PERFECT spot, no one blocking our view, and no suffering through the pit), and Jack hung out in the booth to take some photos of the stage, and when he turned to leave I reached out and touched his arm and said HI! and he smiled and leaned in and I think I said something retarded like "how are you?" (ahaha) but he couldn't really hear and just gave me a huge smile (he's so CUTE!) and a thumbs up, so I gave a thumbs up back. HOW SO PRECIOUS JACK THE CAMERA GUY????
So yeah, that was my night! There was an apocalyptic rainstorm for half of my drive there, and it drizzled/rained for the rest of the day, but! I got there in one piece, got home (after getting lost for a while - Starland Ballroom is kiiinda out in the middle of nowhere), and am now exhausted but a happy Anne! I do so love bandboys <3333333

starland is in an awkward sort of place! but once you realize where it is, it's actually really easy to get to haha. granted, i am uh. decided biased, since i live in the area and all.

Date: 2008-11-16 10:43 am (UTC)That's really interesting what you said about WTK cos everyone does go around saying they're just another pop-rock band. I've only heard a few songs of theirs and they are insanely catchy. hmm I think I should give them more of a listen!
OMG that sounds like the PERFECT TAI setlist! I can't believe they played all those songs. Almost Here & Down & Out!!! SEED. I love the Fast Times songs that they chose to play, did they play One More Weekend? They seem to be playing it a lot lately and that's my favourite FTABH song! The new song 'Winter Passing' is so beautiful, it must has been awesome to see it live. William is amazinggg on stage, I miss seeing TAI!
lol that's so awesome that you said hi to Jack the Camera Guy!
