I can't take the pressure to figure out what to say here:)

Last Night I went to a Christian Rock concert....

My old small group girls that are in high school now couldn't find another adult to take them to this crazy concert so since I haven't seen them in a while I said I would.
I just want to say that apparently I have graduated to the group of sponsors that at these functions retreats to the back of the room and waits for it to be over. Now let me redeem myself a little. I did stay in the very front for the first band and they weren't bad and I didn't think anything like "that darn kids music". They were pretty good I thought for that style music. However during the second act this crazy big high school guy kept bumping into me and jumping way to close to me. I kept pushing him but he just kept invading my space and was all sweaty. At this point is where I made my retreat.
For a band that I love I would totally stay up there and all the sweaty high schoolers and stomped on feet would be worth it but for bands I had never heard of....I don't think so. So I made some calls, read a magazine, went to the gas station for dinner. Let me tell you it was a night of excitement.

Here are some of the people I saw there that stood out to me as funny:
-The "security" was a guy who looked like one of their bigger nerdy older brothers. He had a camo tshirt on but it had a cartoon monkey on it. He just stood by the stage and tried to look important. It didn't work out very well...
-The jr. high girl that had a tshirt that said "I love Christian boys"
-For you old school naperville people: the guy standing next to me was Sakas in 15 years. He probably kept wondering why I was looking at him but it was a little unnerving. He was bald, had a long gotee and was short.
-For you lincoln people: one of the roadies was a Stonter look alike. He was trying to speed with all the equipment and almost ran the amps into some unsuspecting adult.
-Lastly, there was a couple running one of the bands booths. They were under the impression you have to be very dramatic when speaking to each other. I couldn't tell if she was flirting with him or not but every word she said had to be accompanied with her whole body and it had to be really loud and she had to pretend she was really offended at what he said. You know the type.

That was my evening last night.
