I mean that seriously too...I think I have 3 maybe four shirts that aren't MCR ones. Is it super noobish to wear the shirt of the band you are going to see? I don't want to be super noobish! I saw tons of MCR shirts at Projekt Revolution. It would be okay, I suppose. I got my jeans, my bat-socks, my necklace, my T-shirt, my pen (for writing on my arm!), all is set and it is TOMORROW!!!
divineblindsoul Fabulous Killjoy Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 169	April 16th, 2008 at 09:45pm Yep! I'm writing it on my arm. Man...This is so cool. I am so excited!

tarasaurus rex! Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 572	April 17th, 2008 at 12:08am TOMORROW! Holy crap, it came SO FAST. I hope to see you all there! I'll probably yell 'whoo!' if you walk past me with 'INO' on your arm, just so you know and don't think some random person is making weird sounds to you, lol. I was going to make a shirt, but haven't had time to get the shirt and fabric art and all that, so I'll probably be wearing a white jacket/shirt kind of thing with guitars all over it, and skinny jeans. I would wear a My Chem shirt, but for some reason I don't feel like it. XD See you all there!

tarasaurus rex! Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 572	April 18th, 2008 at 08:31am ^ :O! MAD JEALOUSY! XD, OMFG. Best night of my life FOR SURE! I'm writing a blog about it later on myspazz, now I have to go to school agh. I didn't find any INO kids :[ I wrote 'INO.net' on my arm but I don't know if it was visible. But omfg...they left me speechless! And the openers were GREAT. Except we got there about 5:30 so we only heard Costa, we didn't get to see him. I'll be on here later to hear all your stories. :]
xLadyxOfxSorrowx Killjoy Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 59	April 18th, 2008 at 09:59am I can't wait...I have about nine hours. I'm in school now...haha. ^_^ Was the openers on the 17th Billy Talent and Drive By too? Are they good? I've never heard Drive By before...
Eunhyuk Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 442	April 18th, 2008 at 01:39pm did you guys meet them after the concert by the bus? wait,, do they assign who will be in the balcony or are they going to you if you want to go there? thanks!
divineblindsoul Fabulous Killjoy Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 169	April 18th, 2008 at 02:23pm Well, the concert was amazing, I almost died a few times though. It was an adventure getting there, though, holy crap! So my sister and I took the train into the Clybourn station at 4:15, and we'd called a cab ahead of time but either we couldn't find it or it wasn't there so I was more than a little peeved. But I called and they sent another one and we told him to go to the Congress Theater (He repeated it back to us too.) And then he took off. Well, long story short there, he brought us to the Auditorium Theater in Downtown Chicago. We were sitting there like..."Is this it?" and he said that it was, then I asked him specifically if it was the Congress Theater and again he said yes, so we get out (paid him 15 dollars btw.) Just to be sure we asked this old guy walking down the street--his reply "Oh, you're waaaay off." I think I had a shit right there. Again, long story short: We had to take the Subway, had like 5 people tell us different things about which train we should take but eventually we got on the Blue Line and we met up with a couple of girls who were lost like us and going to the concert on the Subway, so we stayed with them and we made it there okay but it was almost 6 when we got there so that sucked. BUT!!!! It was well worth it to get there! I have never been to such an amazing concert, it was incredable. With the "whole crowd mosh pit" I was propelled up past the lights on the ceiling so I was super close. But god! It was so hot, I blacked out from the heat at least once and I fell down twice, but still. Amazing. I just wish I was able to see some of you guys. Oh, well, there is always next time, right!? Oh and one last thing. Did anyone else think that it was funny that anytime Drive By said "My Chemical Romance" the crowd went wild?
The Only Hope. Demolition Lover Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 18542	April 18th, 2008 at 04:00pm TasteTheRainbowBetch: OMG THE CONCERT WAS SO AWESOME!!! I CAUGHT BOBS DRUMSTICK dude,you're so lucky. I'm like super jealous of you now. _____ I can't wait until the concert tonight!
the constant. Bulletproof Heart Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 25615	April 18th, 2008 at 04:56pm AHHHHH I was at the show last night! Fucking amazing. And it was my first concert ever. The crowd was so great and the guys were even better. I was so happy with the set list, but there are some songs they didnt play that I wish they had. Anyways, I had such a great view of all five guys (well, I had an okay view of Ray but whatever). I was about 20 feet away and right in front of Frank. My left ear is still ringing from being directly in front of the amps. divineblindsoul: Did anyone else think that it was funny that anytime Drive By said "My Chemical Romance" the crowd went wild? I thought that was hilarious! All he had to say was "My Chemical Romance" and we all went nuts...actually he barely finished the word and we were all going nuts! Haha, it was obvious who we were all there to see.

I went with my dad (WHO MET BOBS MOM!!!!.. yea that needed caps) and he was right by the sound booth and he got me the set list.. =] it has all these offical looking numbers next to the songs and a phone number on the back! My friend and I wanted to call it. I'll be there tonight toooo!!
tarasaurus rex! Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 572	April 18th, 2008 at 05:34pm TasteTheRainbowBetch: i have a question? when did my chem go on cause i got there after they had started They went on right at 8:00. The time between their stage set-up and them actually coming on was killing me with suspense! I'm writing my blog right now on myspace. Did anybody else reserve a parking space from Chase school which was about a block or less from the Theater and get ripped off? Those jerks, ugh. Buuuut anyway, I'm so happy they played so many rarities! The B-Sides, AND Headfirst For Halos! <- That's what I wanted most. I wished they would've played Venom, but I'm not complaining. :] I was right on the outskirts of the mosh pit, there were about 2 people-lengths in front of me. AWESOME spot! imn0tokei: did you guys meet them after the concert by the bus? wait,, do they assign who will be in the balcony or are they going to you if you want to go there? thanks! I didn't get to meet them, security was being poo heads and was making us leave right away. I did drive by all the bands' buses three times trying to find the theater though! But I didn't see them. As for balcony seats, my mom and I tried going up there, but from what we could hear the Security guard said [it was loud in there], we were pretty sure we couldn't sit there, I think those were reserved, there were chairs there as well so I assume people bought them, and there was caution tape around a lot of the seats. BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!

BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE! Oh man, when we were waiting for MCR to come on I just about died. You know that door that was high up on the right side of the stage? It was open at the end of Billy Talent was ending their set and I could see Bob's arm and I saw a bit of Ray's hair =) I wanted them to come on ASAP. I was so pumped that they played Headfirst and all 3 B-sides! I remember when Heaven Help Us came on, I started screaming in my friends ear "OHMYGOD! all the B-sides!!!" and Headfirst was just crazy. I loved all the clapping :] You were closer than I was, I was about 20 feet from the stage but I still had an amazing view (especially of Frank, Bob, and Mikey...and of course Gerard 'cause he never stays in one place for long) Did you get any pictures? Videos? Sorry I'm so nosy. Security was being mean D= I was in line to meet Frank (didn't get to meet him, by the way =/) and after he left, the secrutity guy was all "Go away, no one else is coming out!" and he glared at us. It was not very nice. Definately the best night of my life.
Helmee Bluth In The Murder Scene Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 20963	April 18th, 2008 at 06:59pm I'm still writing down everything that happened to me. I didn't see any of you lovely people there. My mom and I hadn't been moshed before. She'll make sure we never will again. Gerard said so many good things. I hope I can remember them all. He said something along the lines of "We won't be back for a long time. We're gonna go away for 2 years to write an album for cowboys. Are you all cowboys and cowgirls?" The crowd went wild. It wasn't only Drive By getting cheers for saying My Chemical Romance, it was everyone before MCR. Like, if they were feeling a bit ignored or something, they'd just get everyone's attention back by reminding the crowd that MCR's coming (thus making everyone happy). I remembered every song MCR played. Where could I post it? Here?
