Concert Review!



Hello all! So as I clearly made it known earlier that I was attending the Something Corporate concert last Friday and it well, it was magical! I went with a good friend of mine Sarah, who I hadn't spent quality time with in a while so it was nice to catch up! We were beyond excited to start up the celebrating of our youth again with delicious four dollar margaritas at Mother Burger, however four margs later and we were running kinda late to Roseland for the show. We get there and the line is wrapped around the building--twice. FML. No worries, my slightly intoxicated self somehow got us to the front of the line and we were in NO time. Cheers!

Once inside the Roseland, Sarah waited for a friend in the lobby while I knew I had to get in the pit or we were going to see miniature Andrew and friends and I did NOT wait 24 years to see one of my high school dreams get shit on by tweens! Soo as I made my way toward the stage, I made a few friends along the way. They we're over ecstatic fans who squealed over the idea that their beloved Andrew would be feet away. Little did they know that I met him, twice. ;) After befriending these little ones, I decided to ask their age. Their response--17, 18, and 20. WTF IS MY LIFE. I felt like a granny up there, but couldnt help but also think, how the F did these kids know Something Corporate. They we're popular when I was 17. Sick.

Anyway, the concert eventually started--with Sarah and new friend Seth by my side-- and it was a blast. No opener and 1.5 hours of non-stop punk rock goodness. They played a few of my faves--She Paints Me Blue, Cavanaugh Park and the heartbreaker- Konstantine. Andrew sounded wonderful and rocked out on the piano as always. Sarah and I were really hoping for them to sing "Walking By" but I guess one ballad-esque song was enough (especially since Konstantine is 9mins long!)

Overall I the concert left me feeling 17 again. I recalled all the moments I had listening to SOCO in high school and crying over some boy drama or something of the like. Regardless, it was awesome. Now I await seeing Jimmy Eat World in September with my sis! Yet another high school dream come true!
