Finally! An update!

Been busy, haven't updated in three and a half months. Not great, but here's something...

We went to some more shows.

Saw Ludo on 10/22 at the Recher Theater and they were awesome! They did "Part 1" from "Broken Bride" (I would have bet good money that they wouldn't have done anything from that album) and one of my absolute favorite songs by them - "Hum Along"!!

We also saw Cobra Starship (Fangs Up!) with our friends Sing It Loud at Sonar on 11/19! It was an AWESOME show!!! Because Lisa got me tickets early, we got to go to a meet and greet with MOST of the band before the show started (Gabe never showed).

I got to actually meet Vicky-T (insert me squealing like a little girl here) and I got to get her autograph and give her a photo of her that I shot from the pit at Warped Tour!!! She seemed really excited for the picture (either that or she was just being nice, either way I'm happy about it).

We gave Ryland a picture of JJ, so the band could have a picture of their (to our knowledge) youngest fan.

Cobra's show was great. We got in just in time to be one body back from the rail, but by the time Cobra came on, Lisa was on the rail (and I had a hand on it to keep from being swept away). Everyone in the crowd was super-pumped to see them and sang along with all the songs. I nearly went deaf during "Prostitution"! I hope Gabe gets over the stuff going on with his throat so they can get the third album finished and get back out on the road next year.

It was also great to see our friends in Sing It Loud again. Their show was nearly as good as Cobra's was! I bought the album from them and got everyone but the newly-shorn Keiran to sign it for me. My buddy Ben from Sing It Loud even got out on stage with Cobra to do the rap for "Kiss My Sass"! It was just a-MAZE-ing!!!

The other opening acts were "Forever the Sickest Kids" (who were better than I had expected) and "Hit the Lights" (who I had never heard before that and they were pretty good).

Sing It Loud is coming back to do a show at Rams Head Live on December 28th with All Time Low and we are going to try to get tickets for that one as well. Merry Christmas to us!!!
