Concert: My Chemical Romance

Boy did I strike gold yesterday! Although it was the dreaded tax day and one thing went wrong after another, a friend of mine called and said she had an extra ticket for the My Chemical Romance concert that night and did I want to go. Of

course, I felt really guilty about accepting since I had a ton of crap to do and was having such a terrible day, but her husband pretty much talked me into it. It didn't take much really because I do like MCR.

I haven't been to a concert since Megadeth (with the Misfits opening) in '99. Oh boy things have changed and I have certainly gotten older but I eventually really got into the music and started dancing and jumping and singing along. It was great fun and a much needed release. I love any opportunity where I can dance like no one is watching and sing my heart out like no one is listening.

Today I still managed to get up on time for work but my ears are still ringing. I took some pictures with my phone and since it doesn't zoom I had to modify them in iPhoto after the fact. They aren't the best since we chose to head up to the top balcony but it was a good location for watching the show even if the pictures are blah.

Moral of the story: great concert, great opening acts (Drive By and Billy Talent), and I really need to do this more often!
