Oh fucking shit, Reggie and the Full Effect...

So the show tonight was amazing. Reggie was good, Alkaline Trio was the best out of the three bands tonight in my mind, and My Chemical Romance put on a good show.

It's what happened before the show that made my day. Ash and I got to the UIC Pavilion early by about four hours and we wondered around the area. We get to the buses and we see a figure wearing all black standing outside of them. We walk over and it's Derek. So we meet Derek and have him sign our booklet. After we leave and go get food in the Loop and then come back again, we're walking around and see another person wearing all black walking down the street. Turns out, this was Matt. I couldn't say anything, I was in awe. This is my idol. So Ash talked to him instead and we had him sign the booklet. So awesome. I'm totally fucking happy.

But that's not all.

As Ash and I are still waiting around, we see a Volvo pull out of the ramp leading to the UIC Pavilion. I look at who's behind the wheel, and it's Dan. With Matt in the passenger side and Derek in the back. Matt makes this weird face at us (if you want an impression, ask) and that's it. I nearly lost it again.

The show was great. I loved Trio. It was better than the show at the Riv. It was odd being one of only a few people who knew the words, but I liked it that way. Here's the set list:

Back To Hell
We've Had Enough
Maybe I'll Catch Fire
Mercy Me
Private Eye
The Poison
Cringe
Clavicle
Stupid Kid
I Lied My Face Off
Sadie
Time To Waste
This Could Be Love

Definitely one of the best nights ever. Not to mention I got a hoodie. Su-weet.
