[This was posted last Wednesday, but I deleted it by mistake. I'm so stupid lol]

I had a blast at Green Day's concert. It was kind of hard to enjoy it, though. I had to fight against dozens of drunk guys. Let me tell you about it. I got there around 17:00 pm. They would open the doors of the venue at 19:00. Or that's what it said on my ticket. Like around 18:30 we thought they'd let us in. All the doors were opened but several security guys told us we'd have to wait for "a while". So we waited for "a while". 1 hour and 45 minutes. It was a damn hot day [it was around 35ºC], so it wasn't nice to wait for such a long time. People got mad. They had been drinking and smoking pot for hours, so they were REALLY mad, so they started pushing people. I thought "ok, they'll stop just as soon as we get into the venue". I was damn wrong. It was even worse. I'm a fairly tall guy so I always get floor tickets, because I get a much better view this way. But this time it'd have been much better to get a seat. People went crazy. A group of really high and drunk guys were acting like jerks all the time, pushing and shoving people all the time, hitting each other. It was awful. I thought I would get hurt. I even saw a girl who was fainting and I had to take her because her friends didn't even saw her falling. And then the supporting band, Jimmy Eat World, came out. People went even crazier. Just when I was seriously thinking about killing myself -- boom, one of the guitarists fainted, so they had to cancell their set. Billie Joe, Tre Cool, Mike and their musicians made their appearance right after some guy in a pink rabbit costume enterteined us for a few minutes. They started with American Idiot, and the crowd went crazy. Some of them went crazy in a bad way, so I just looked for a better place to stay, and I didn't have any more problems. I got a really good view of the stage. They're fucking good. I expected them to be great live, but I was truly overwhelmed. Billie Joe is a total showman. Nedless to say he's really cute up close :P One of the highlights from the show was when they picked three people from the crowd to play the guitar, the bass and the drums. The one who played the guitar got to keep the guitar and [most importantly] a kiss from Billie Joe. A girl from Madonna Online's forum told me about this weeks ago, so I had been practing my mangled guitar-playing for some time. I'm glad they didn't choose me. The guys they picked were really good, and I'm like the worst guitar player in the world. Anyway, it would have been nice to get a kiss from a rock star ;) As I told you on my earlier post, there were thousands of people trying to look "punkish". It was nice to see a shitload of guys wearing eyeliner, though [you know I have a thing for guys who love eye make-up :P ] It was sad to see that some of them didn't even know many of the pre-American Idiot songs they performed. I wasn't surprised about this, though.

I'm going to spend July in a house in the country, but I'll be able to update every once in a while. I'm actually looking forward to visit my borntown. It's time to have fun.

Be good!
