Get Inside My Head

I literally have no words to describe the experience I had last night (no, no you sick bastards...I went to a CONCERT). matchbox twenty and Sugar Ray at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. Holy. Fucking. Shit. Suffice to say that, if this ends up having been the last concert I will ever attend, I'll have no regrets, because I don't think it would be possible to top that. Visualize: the last song of the night is "Push", my favorite song of all time, being played by my favorite band in the universe while I watch from fucking 17th row FLOOR SEATS--the best seats I have EVER had at a concert (oh. my. GOD. people. I could SEE their facial expressions...it was unreal). Suddenly, I arrived at an understanding of how some people could cry at concerts...when the first chords of "Push" played, I almost teared up, so religious is the experience of that song for me. Oh, OH. And get this: when the boys came out for the encore, they covered "In Da Club". !!!!!!!!!!! This is why they are the GREATEST band in existence. They also played a massive 2 hour set that included all of the songs from MTYTYA (even the bonus track, "So Sad, So Lonely", which they did during the encore); a cover of Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"; "Mad Season", "Bent", and "If You're Gone" from Mad Season; and "Real World", "3 am", "Long Day", "Back 2 Good", and "Push" from YOSLY. And. I. Had. FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOR seats.



And now, back to reality. And my take-home final. Weeee!
