KINGSFOIL!

So last night i went to a concert.
a random one at that.
considering I never even heard of the band before.
hahah.
Anyways Sam asked me if i wanted to go, and it was either go with and perhaps actually like the band or be stuck at school with only Kate...
sooo i decided to go, besides it was only five dollars for a ticket, and it ended up that the tickets benefited a benefit...called Girls on The Run. which at first, we thought it had to do with protecting girls who like ran away from home for some reason.
instead it had to do with helping girls in middle school get higher self-esteem by talking to them and doing runs, like the 5k they are doing this weekend.
soo i'm not really sure how i feel about that. because i honestly was like, what? you have a benefit to help girls get higher self-esteem? i mean granted that's really needed but i don't understand what they actually do.
i feel like a benefit helping girls who run away from home would be more helpful? I don't know, maybe if i actually understood what they were even talking about it would have been better.

well I'll just start from the beginning and explain everything that happened.
So first of all. This concert was at the Chameleon Club, and Sam and I went to Millersville to meet up with these girls she knows there because of her guy friend Jake...
So the one girl...Erin (I think that's how she spells it, idk though aha) well apparently she had been texting the drummer.
uh yeah.
from the band.
and well she had managed to get us tickets from him!
so when we got to the club we met up with him and he gave us our tickets! and it was so cool! His name was Joe and he was extremely nice!
so then we had to wait around for awhile for the doors to open, but we finally figured out that they were open you just couldn't go into the actual club area. so by 7:30 i think we were finally able to go into the area where they would be performing, but first they checked out id's because if you were 21 you could drink, so the guy checked mine and he was like going back and forth between the sharpie which marked you were under 21 and the stamp which marked that you were 21, for like four times, and finally he was like oh one more month ! and i was like haha yeah.
not like it would have mattered, since everyone i was with was all much younger than me, so i really would not have been going to drink anyway, you know? so we got marked with the sharpie and headed up these steps, and it ended up we were all the way at the top. like the third floor, right below the balcony. it was kind of ridiculous. but it ended up being a really good spot, since we could see the entire band really well, and not that many people were there surprisingly.
So first up was this guy named Alfred? or Albert? or maybe it was Angelo...haha and he played like country/blues kind of music, which i LOVE Country, i mean i grew up on it, so i was kind of like yes this is good. ahha and he had this really cool guitar thing, (except on a sidenote i talked to John today about it and he was like oh yeah that pry wasn't a guitar but a _____ i haven no idea what he said hahah but whatever it was still cool) and he had this guitarist playing with them, he played like four songs or something. so that was interesting.
then this guy from the magazine Fine Living which is a local magazine came out, and well lets just say he had a couple of drinks, and apparently he is a lightweight (we heard him saying that to someone haha) so he kept like making statements and being like they are so good...i mean fine.
and we were like hahahaha. because it was ridiculous and you could tell he was drunk because he had a delayed reaction on his face for like everything he was thinking about. so that was super entertaining, also since it was Girls On The Run benefit night or whatever you would call it, they were doing like fashion shows they only had three "models" and they all only showed off two outfits, but they were cool. this one girl wore this really cool fringe dress, that i would never be able to pull off but it looked really cool on her, then the other girl was super tall and she kind of looked like taylor swift, at least with her height and the way she wore her hair, then there was a guy and he looked pretty normal with his clothing lol.
so after that the next band came on and they were called Mieka? I just looked for them on itunes but couldn't find them... but anyways they were really cool, the lead singer was a girl, and she was wearing these crazy high heels, but she had a really good voice, and she was super nice, she kept talking to the audience and even the lights blinded her from seeing us in the balcony she still yelled out to us, which i thought was awesome :)
so after they performed, there was some more of the fashion show, some explaining of what girls on the run is, which obviously didn't help me since i still don't really understand what they were saying lol.
then the drummer, Joe, came up to talk to us, and see how everything was going. it was pretty cool. he was really nice.
then he went back down, and there was a "special surprise"
which was the lead singer from Kingsfoil singing with his girlfriend Dana Alexandra. they sang some song that i have no idea what it was called, then they sang the "theme" song from Fine Living which was called.. FINE! what a surprise ahha.
but i actually really liked the song. i actually bought it on itunes... contemplating learning it on guitar.
yup.
so finally Kingsfoil came on.
and the bassist was adorable, he smiled a lot and it was really cool.
and i just accidentally stumbled upon him on facebook.
i know you are going accidentally? well yes. because i looked up the groups fanpage and it turns out they are all tagged in a picture so i clicked on his name and bAM there he was.
and it turns out he's my year in school and he goes to the rival school of my school! ahhaahha.
uh anyways.
they performed a bunch of super cool songs, and i really like them now :)
the guitarist/keyboardist seemed kind of moody though, he never smiled and in all the pictures i've found of him he always looks mad. it's kind of weird.
and the lead singer Jordan seems like one of those people who will get famous and decide he is better than everyone else. but i still like their music, and their bassist and the drummer is super nice. so you know it's cool.
afterwards i bought their The Almond Tree EP and their CD the Bear in The Attic. apparently they have two other CD's on itunes. eventually i will get to that haha.
so i suggest you check them out :) they are cool.
after that we headed back to the girls campus because they go to a different school, but the girl driving was insane and like randomly whipped into the McDonald's parking lot and decided to get a cinnamelt? and chocolate milk. then they didnt give her a fork so she got out of the car and like ran to the door and was knocking on it and they were closed so they were like sorry we are closed and she ran to the drive thru window to get a fork.
she was kind of crazy.
the other two girls were really nice though.
:)
we had some nachoes in their room, then left at like 1
got back to my apartment, showered and went to bed by 2
luckily i had class at 10. today.
haha.
it was a fun night.
although my body hurts today.
it's mostly from kickboxing still my sides hurt so bad. but i dont' think it helped going to a concert and standing for four hours.
you know?
it was fun though.
then today went to class, lunch, class. came back and it turns out my greek teacher recommended me to be a tutor next semester for greek.
i laughed hysterically. but i pry will sign up for it.
why not. ahha
no one will pry need help but you get paid. so whatever! woo
anyways need to go do some dishes, then to dinner!
later!
