Back!! That was a crazy car ride home, haha... lots of very loud music, fog, and tiredness. It was in Block C, Row 22... good view for the Trouble/Postcards/GPASUYF and TalkIt felt strange to be behind rows and rows of people who did nothing and didnt sing for most songs.... but hey. I musn't be downbeat! The most amazing moment for me had to be when I pulled out all the stops dancing to Politik in these said rows of quietness...... twas a beautiful moment!! I also loved it when Chris decided to not play the Hardest Part and play Trouble instead...wahey!!!! I think the boys really enjoyed it too, I could see them having a smile and laugh a lot of the time. I just wish they threw in a few more oldies or a few of the new Prospekt's March stuff. Maybe in time........ [thanks crazyduckette]
