Avril Lavigne Concert Review
Yesterday was a good day. It was nice to spend the night at home w/ my family. I've missed my Mom and Dad and Joey too hehe The reason I was home was my Dad giving me a ride to the concert. Before I left I met Joe at Blockbuster for his half hour break. He introduced me to his co-workers. They seem sweet. So, we walked hand in hand over to Subway. I wasn't hungry so I sat down at a table. Did I tell you guys how adorable, Joe is? :) We talked while he ate and 30 mins. went by in no time. It's funny how time seems to speed up when we're together. There's never enough!! When we got back to Blockbuster, I introduced Joe to my Dad. (Yes, he liked you baby!!) After the introductions we said goodbye. I hate goodbyes. I watched Oprah when we got home and then my Dad took me over to the Greek Theatre. I was pleasantly surprised to find the group of people in line was not many. I had a PIT ticket and was worried about where I’d end up standing. I got lucky because there weren’t a lot of PIT ticket holders there yet and my place in line was great. When we were let in, I went over to the merchandise table. I looked for a keychain, but there wasn’t one. I bought a really cute t-shirt instead. Finally we were let into the PIT area. Again, I was surprised at how few people were in there. Better for me hehe I wasn’t looking forward to being smooshed. I talked with my fellow Avril fans, particularly this one girl and her bf. Get this, she was a Hanson fan too!! Awesome. The opening acts were soo great. Butch Walker was first. I’d never heard of him, but was thoroughly impressed. I’d like to get his album. Next was Gavin DeGraw. Oh, my goodness!! He was fantastic!! One song in particular touched me and made me think of Joe and I.

Lyrics:
Song: "Follow Through"
Artist: Gavin DeGraw


Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
(For) you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you'll have to follow through
With every word you say
An I, all I really want is you (For) you to stick around
I'll see everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?


Back to my story, Gavin DeGraw also left the stage and walked through the crowd which was really cool hehe I’d go see him on his own. He really is talented!! During the intermission before Avril came out, there was a fight and this huge guy pushed me into the wall by the stage. Ow That was scary. I cried. Luckily security came and the fight was stopped. I was happy when Avril came out. Her set was great and she sang both of my favorite songs (“Mobile” and “Nobody’s Home”). *Yay* On the way out, I saw Heather and Bridget, two girls I've gone to school with and played socer with. I hadn't seen them in ages, so it was a nice surprise. :) I’m happy I finally saw Avril Lavigne in concert. ITZ always fun to see someone for the first time. After the concert, my Dad and I stopped back at home so I could get my stuff. I went online and talked to Joe briefly and even though I wanted to keep talking, I had to go. :( I hated leaving him like that. Aww hehe My Dad helped me carry my groceries inside the apt. and then he went home. I was sad because I was alone again, but I was too tired to think about that much. I got ready for bed and then went to sleep.

Tonight Joe and I are seeing “The Skeleton Key”, so I’m very much looking forward to that, but more to seeing him. XOXO sweetie!!

Lots of Love,
Amanda
