I inherited this from a stranger I'll never miss

Senses Fail - Family Tradition

Twelve days into a month and I've got to say, it's been one of my favorites for 2008. Here is the summary of what has been going on in my neck of the woods:

10/3 - The Academy Is... in Orlando. Really great show to say the least. I'm kinda bummed about spending an unnecessary $40 for a stupid fan club, but hey you only live once I guess, right? I can sum up this day with the phrase "Too Legit!"

10/4 - New Found Glory in Jax. So I'm kind of really glad this show was moved from Fuel to Plush because otherwise my injuries probably would have been 100x as severe. Right when International Superheroes took the stage the entire barricade moved up a good 3 feet and I honestly thought it was going to flip. Four Year Strong made me lose my voice again. I really shouldn't scream so loud! New Found Glory will never disappoint me. The show was so solid and I got another nfg stick. Yes!

10/8 - inPASSING at 10pm in an empty room. I really hope these dude tour again soon with a good lineup, they truely deserve to have a solid following, especially in Florida. Troy is the most talkative dude I have ever met, and I love the wierd band gossip chats we have, haha. "I can't count, thats why I play music!"

10/10 - The Rocket Summer in Orlando. I am so glad I decided to make it down to this show! The Morning Light, The Secret Handshake, and Phantom Planet did a great job of starting the show off, but my hat definitely goes off to Bryce and The Rocket Summer for being a great headling band. I went into this show a bit skeptical as to how they would be in such a "big" venue as a headlining band (I saw them there at House of Blues just a year ago as an opener and it did not come anywhere close to comparing to this show), but boy was I proved wrong! The set list was perfect and so was the performance. Also, all if forgiven and well in my book with a certain someone and I am VERY happy about that.

That's really about it for the month so far. I've got a bunch more coming up, and I'm excited for everything.
