My concert experience

Alright fellow bloggers I must confess, last night I went to a concert with my friend Alison!! Some of you probably have never heard of the bands but we saw, Hawthorne Heights, All American Rejects and Fall Out Boy. There were 2 other bands but I did not know their names. Each one of the 3 mentioned have had hits that are/were climbing the charts so they are fairly popular. We got tickets back in January and have been waiting for this concert, then it dawned on us, we will probably be the oldest ones there. They are not your teeny bopper bands they are like your high school punky type rock and roll. Well the time for the first act was 6:30 and this is a Tuesday night mind you. So we get there promptly at 6:30. As we pull into the parking lot we notice that there are tons of people older than us but they are escorting their children. Oh my god, we are the oldest ones that are there for the sole purpose to see the concert. So we walk with pride to the arena, decked out in our full party wear. As we are making our way to our seats, there is an older man behind us and I asked him if he brought his kids and he said yeah and that they were sitting down lower and his seat was up high in a whole different section. I would of loved to have this man as my father, take me to a concert with my friends and then sit somewhere else. Well we finally got to our seats and what the heck, the people around us have barely hit puberty, God I feel old now. There are tons of parents, I mean tons and tons. One man there had on his Pink Floyd shirt on and it looked well worn so I am figuring that was his last concert...Ha Ha. But anyway it all got me thinking, my parents never offered or even put the thought out there when I was growing up that if I wanted to go to a concert that they would escort me and my friends. I always heard how my mom went to all of these really cool concerts when I was a kid and before I was born. There were kids at this concert that were younger than my 7 year old. I guess I will just have to let him know that if he ever wants to go I am there for him, don't know if I will sit in another section or not but we will go together. The funny thing is that this row of girls behind us had to be about 14 or 15 and they knew every word to every song of every band. I do not remember having that much time on my hands at that age. But all in all we got to hear out favorites and half of the other songs we did not know and had never heard. A couple years ago Alison and I went to see Journey in concert, again some of you may know them and some may not but we were probably the youngest ones there so I wonder if someone out there blogged about us and how old it made them feel to see us at the concert?
