Gwen...Steph...Ash...Benj..Mitchell...
Katie...Karina...Mike
Pre Show:::::Well this is the first time going to see LMC besides
at the Variety Show in like 10th grade. Nicole wanted to go cause Ians hot I heard!!
Cheryl and Andrea arent really the type of people to be at these places
but Andrea likes Nick and I guess she needed a ride!!
This is the night the *Lmc Kids* started actually becoming friends.
Benji I think..still hates it when we call him Benj though!
Who would of known LMC concerts would be like annual reunions for the most of us..!!
Cheryl wasnt really into the music ..
so she was trying to get with this one dude!
Show::::The 1st band that played was really good.
They did a cover , *Girls Just Want To Have Fun*.
I don’t know what their band is called but they were awesome..
The lead singer is hilarious. I definatly want to go see them again...
LMC went on and they were super awesome.
I knew they were good..
but I had no idea they were this great or anything..
No I am not just saying that either.
Our corner was ready to rock so we started jumping and the girls next to us mocked us
out cause of it. I was kinda annoyed over it..
Cause thats what you do at rock shows.
But I will remember for next time not to jump.
Andrea said it was Nicks’ girlfriend or whatever..
But who cares..your there to release some unseen energy.
After they finished we left. We didnt even stay for the next band.
I bought The LMC *united we sit* cd and the L2W cd...
the l2w cd sucks....
Post Show:::I am definatly going to see these bands again.. They were super awesome and I had tons of fun..
Oh yeah.. Katie I want my tie back still..
Don’t think I forgot..
HAHAHAHA!!!!
Count The Stars, Snot Rockets,

@The Continental
March 12,2003
*Mike
PreShow::::::Well we got there and Mike thinks we went in circles
to get there but no, Buffalo is filled with one way streets.
When we were walking in he’s like, if they don’t let me in,
your not going in either! We got there and the doors werent open yet
so we had to stand in the hall or whatever you want to call it,
and the guy who knocked me unconcious into the brick wall at the last concert
was there talking to us.
Aparently his name is Brandon. Its all good!
Well people were pulling out there tickets and stuff and
I got alittle nervous cause I didnt know if we were gonna be
able to get them here!While Mike was worried about
ting in cause he’s underage.I kept telling him..
never check id’s..Well they open the doors and they were checking id’s
..Oh No!!and the bouncer or whatever
...I was scared he looked like the hammer from 13 ghosts with sunglasses
Mike went ahead of me.He obviously had no id
cause he
was underage.
he lays this line down....
* I just turned 16 so I have no id but I have my school id*. Its all well and good.
But you should see this thing...its colored in and has staples in his face.
Why the guy let him in I have no idea.... I was just like I have no id I need some
*x’s* and he was like *an honest one.. I like that cutie..* so he gave me mine with no hassel..
SA-WEET! I don’t know why either cause I look younger than Mike...
We got in and checked the merch out and then sat at a table and just
chilled until the concert started!
Show::::::Snot Rockets went on and me and the Bandmaster stayed towards the back.
They were all getting crazy , the back is the safest place....
Then the Brandon kid was getting crazy..and I think I still had bruises
from the last concert!!and we didnt need that..
They werent my kind of band...
but they were still sweet..the singer was out of hand..he needs some depressants or something..
There was a part wher he fell and split his pants open..ever see Jackass the movie when Preston Lacy
Broke the park bench..thats what it was like..ahaha!!
Moltov Cocktail Inc:::::I think out of all of the bands except CTS I liked them the best..
singer is just so awesome.. He gave mike a twinkie or something...
I was shocked that the lead singer was black ..
Maybe my mom will like to see this band..
oh wait no.. the room is filled with a bunch of white people..nope..
she wont!!!He kept emphasing the fact that the word cock was in his bands name...
he came off
stage during one of their songs and pounded on my chest...oooh I feel specail!
Count The Stars::Of course the first thing Im gonna say is
Dave
looks mad hot...DAMN!!!
they
put on another terrific show..The music was loud...Clarke (the bassist) was crazy as hell...
like always. He jumped off the speaker that was like 6ft high...
hes crazy...It was kinda funny cause I made Mike a cd
the day before and it had a CTS song on it..and when they played it..
he
already knew the words...ahhhh!!!
*it feels like the first time*
VooDoo Glow Skulls:::::They were the last up and even though they were hardcore..
I kinda liked it...While they were playing this *original punker*
came next to me. I like those people.. The ones that are older..
have the mohawks..and leather jackets..something that looked like that came right out of the first punk rock era!
PostShow:::Well Me and Mike decided to leave early, but
I wanted to get some shirts so we went over to the merch guy....
hes so cool..he has *the haircut* but the
band was over there too! And Dave was like * hi Im Dave* and he shook my hand..
kinda weird..but its ok cause hes hot!!
at least now we are on a name to name basis..kinda...haha!

Snow Jam
Jimmy Eat World
July 19th 2002
*Nicole
PreShow::::::It was her birthday and I guess nobody wanted to hang out with us.
Snow Jam is a three day thing. We went to go get the tickets at tops before we headed down there..
but ticketmaster closed so we had to go down there
and get them and it would be $20 instead of $10.Oh well..
We had no clue where to go and Gnome dropped us in front of HSBC.
I had to tie my shoe so I sat on the wall and these 4 guys who were drunk as hell were asking me about the Eminem concert
the night before because I was wearing my Eminem shirt I bought.
So I told him it was good and he said they would sell us their passes for $20.
That would get us in..backstage..and free beer..*they wont even Id you..*
those were his exact words. We were a little skeptical
from buying the passes from them.. But we did anyways..
The headed us in the right direction too!!
So we were walking up to the gates to get in and the security guard told us we had to buy our tickets..
my heart skipped a beat..We Got SCAMMED..
I showed her my passes she was like..*Oh sorry...just make sure you wear them...** oh god ..
I almost had a heart attack..So we went in and looked at some stuff then headed towards the stage...
We were on the right hand side where they would let people with the pass backstage...
SHOW:::::::Jimmy Eat World went on and they were really good.
I admit.. I wasnt a big fan so I didnt know most..
well I knew like 2 songs...But I still thought they did really good...When we figured they were gonna get off soon Nicole was like lets go backstage..
So we walked over and showed the guard our passes and we were there..
We were..in the most boring place ever..
I think the fields by B-Kwik was more thrilling..
Well anyways..I think we called Taryn and told her and some older girls were talking to us..
They wanted to know the bands names..Obviously...
So we went over to the bassist Rick ang got his autograph for whatever it was worth..
We had a lot of fun. And I hope Nicole had fun too cause it was her birthday....
Post Show:::the only bad thing was leaving and gnome picking us up..
But the story was fun to tell everyone....

Count The Stars
@Cruise In
May 23, 2003
With *Nicole
PreShow:::::This is the first concert..well CTS concert that Mike wasnt with me....
boo hoo!Sucks for him cause these guys are hot!
Well I think that this is the first time me and Nicole
are doing something since she has been mad at me since the last CTS concert.
I think we’ve been friends for like a week now. Nicole new some girls in their from Gc or something
we kinda chilled with them I guess.. They kinda kept on excluding their one friend though..
Some times friends suck..We went out and were on the deck and there was this
drunk guy (we run into them a lot)
and he spillled his beer..Then he sat in it..hahaha!!!
We went back inside and we seen the stripper chick from Fraternity Life who nailed Earl I guess..
thats what I hear anyways!
Show::::We didnt watch much of the opening acts or whatever
cause it was hot as hell inside.....I don’t even know what they were called!
CTS went on and we felt brave so we stood next to
*the girls* we werent like in the front cause *the girls* had that area in lockdown!
We had a really good time either way! I wasnt expecting anything less anyways cause we always have fun
when we go see SWOOSH!!!

Anger Management Tour
Eminem..Ludicrious....Papa.Roach..
Executioners
with Niki
PreShow:::::Well ..I never been to a concert like this before..
me and niki went there and it was raining and they werent opening the doors yet..
Then they finally started to let people in but first girls in
one line and boys in the other..What the hell..Then we finally got up to where they had to check you out..
And the girl noticed that I had my camera..well duh!!!
but I told her I had important stuff on there and she told me to check it in ..
So I walked into that place and the guy was like can I help you..
and I turn to niki and say*shes not here*
haha.. I got my camera...
SO we got to our seats and we seen like everyone from our school
there..Jay..Josh K. Pat B. Adam.Matt..Brandon..just the whole bunch of them..
It was like the designated Cleve-Hill section..
Show:::::But the show went on..Luda was first.. He was awesome..Im glad He was there..
And the bobble heads he had were out of hand..they were big as hell.,..Later I found out that there were actually people who are paid to make the heads...
*wobble wobble**it was great...
Papa Roach went on next..The rockers were all for them..
However we were waiting for the Eminem.. I knew no P.roach songs.. I think no one knew any..Cause their final song was Last Resort..
Thats when I think everyone got up and started to get alittle rowdy..
It was Eminems turn.. He started with a little movie.. Like a collabo of all the bullshit of him being bad for the *youth of the nation*
then the video stop and all went wild...The show had finally started...
The one major highlight from that night is when they preformed Stan..
during the chorus he would hold the mic out and the crowd sung that chorus so load..it was all in synch...
it was like..whoa!!I wish I would of seen Anger managment the year before not only cause dre is God but thats when Limp Bizkit was cool..
It all went downhill when Wes left the band....
PostSHow:::::I would definatly see Eminem again..
as long as me and niki don’t have to take the subway...haha!!
