Are You Feeling Magical?

I blew off driver's ed. I'm such a bad person. I got texts all night from Elizabeth, about some creepy (*EDIT!* I totally take this back. He's not creepy. At all. She's just crazy.) guy who kept trying to convince her he rode her school bus. I feel bad.
But not bad enough! Hahah.
That was mean.
Anyways.
Tonight, I had...like the best experience in the world. Ever. Nothing will top this for a while.
At first, I really didn't want to go to the concert. Because I didn't want to miss driver's ed. But I did.
And boy, am I glad I did!
The only thing is...I'm sworn to secrecy about the night's events, under an oath titled "What happens at Ram's Head, stays at Ram's Head" or "WHARMSARM" for short ....but I will divulge some details.  (*EDIT!*...I have no clue why there are "M"'s in there...except for the fact that I must have been exceptionally tired. It should be WHARHSARH" oops...)
[And for the record, this post is mostly so that I can come back to it and remember everything about tonight...but you can read it if you so wish :)]
My dear eldest sister, Erin, had two VIP tickets to the Family Force Five Tourantula.
We got to the venue at around 4:30, went in...waited in a non-existent line (okay, okay...there were about 15 people) for about an hour, until the lady came out and gave us our VIP passes.
We went in & were able to meet the band...not the best quality, but it's still cool :)

So...I go stand next to Soul Glow Activatur (stage name...of course...I would name my child something weird like that...but that's just me ;)) and what does he say to me?
"Are you feeling magical?"
"Uh...yeah!"
"Good, good."
. . . okay.
Ermmmm. Then we moved towards the stage. And something awesome happened. We got front row! It was pretttty cool. Then we got to see an acoustic set by them, which was awesome!

Then we had to wait, and wait, and wait. And I was getting high a headache off of the stinking (literally!!) marker that security marked my hands up with.

Then, after much waiting, the first opening act, Since Forever came on. They were pretty awesome. And they totally succeeded in singing "Baby" without sounding stupid!

They played. They conquered. They were awesome (I need a thesaurus!). Then Stereo Skyline came on, but it was kind of awkward because half of the band had to fly home a week ago...so it was only the lead singer with a guitar and the drummer.

However. They still did amazingly. And then...they brought three guys up from the audience...and this happened...(excuse the weird flippage of the video...I think my camera flipped)

I laughed. So hard. Three minutes of that.

Thennnnnnn the band Swimming With Dolphins came on, who I mentioned earlier. They were so good. You should go pre-order their album. Now. It comes out the same day as Owl City's. Soooo you can buy them both. And that will be a darned good day!

And then, of course, the main event. Family Force 5 came on! Wearing...matching outfits. White skinnies, ankle boots...and t-shirts depicting various wild animals. Don't ask. Please. I really don't have an answer.
They were so good. The energy was cah-razy.

So. I'm thinking there are several things that the lead signer said during their set...
1) He said that their music was ghetto. But it was okay because they were in Baltimore. ;)
2) Before they played one of their most popular songs, Dance or Die, the lead singer went off on this monologue:
"This song...this song has a lot of unicorns. They're black unicorns. And they breathe fire out of their nostrils. Feel the unicorns!"
...okay. Only two things. The rest is classified under "WHARHSARH"
Then the concert was over. And you could feel everybody crashing. The energy was draining fast.
So we went to the merch table, got a few things, then I went over to Since Forever's table, got autographs & this lovely picture.

And thennnnnn. Family Force 5 decided to come out into the crowd. So I got some autographs, and Erin got some more pictures. Except she says I did a bad job and that they're blurry. But that's not my fault. I have carpel tunnel syndrome (whaaat? That made no sense...).
I met Swimming With Dolphins as well, and they were super nice! Just another reason for you to get their CD. 
So Stereo Skyline was the only band I didn't meet...but I was kind of okay with that because the people in the band that I wanted to meet weren't there.
So yeah. The night was awesome. I also got some bracelets & pins to add to my collections! Woop! It was fun. I'm tired. And I will be dead tomorrow, I'm so exhausted. I will die with black x's on my hands, because they used industrial Sharpies that have no plan on coming off anytime soon.
I need to sleep.
But I suppose I should finish this blog off the obvious way...refer back to the title.
The night was magical!
