The American Dream Tour

February 10, 2014 the best night of my life! I went to the All American Dream tour, with Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men, Letlive, & Issues. I had planned to go with someone but they weren’t able to get their ticket because it was a sold out show so I had went by myself. Which was a first! I usually go with someone. My mom was worried the whole time that I wouldn’t be able to handle it and what if I needed help who would help me but I was sure I’d be fine so she let me. She called and messaged me the minute she dropped me off I eventually turned my phone off. I stood in line for 4 hours and my friend had called and told me her and her brother would be at the concert too so I waited until I saw them and they said I could hang out with them so I wouldn’t have to be alone which was a good thing because concerts by yourself aren’t that fun. By the time they got there we only had to wait for one more hour which was exciting. We finally got in and had to wait another hour for the bands to get set up which was not that fun but we managed to do it. We had a good time we got pushed around but it was all worth it, issues played first then letlive. I mostly went for of mice & me and bring me the horizon. When of mice and men performed I got into a mosh pit that was in the beck of the crowd which is where I had lost my glasses. I ran into the pit and hoped to come out ok like I did when I went in the ones before that. It didn’t turn out that way. I went in with glasses and a clean face and I came out with out glasses and a black eye and a scratch from my glasses being punched into my face. I couldn’t see for the rest of the night which was ok because they had put on a good show. My friends and I thought lets go wait in the back of the venue and meet some band members. So we left during bring me the horizon started to play. I wanted to see them because I had missed that at warped tour the year before that. We headed to the back and of course I couldn’t see so I was to follow and hope that I don’t trip over something and embarrass myself in front of everyone, we could still hear the music from inside so we didn’t really miss anything. We waited for and hour or so and in that hour I met Jason Butler from Letlive, Ty Acord from issues, and a few others from of mice and men. We didn’t think anyone else would come out so we called for our rides home and then that’s when Austin Carlile from of mice and men came out. The moment I’ve been waiting for to meet someone who I had looked up to for a very long time. I didn’t know what else to do but hug him. He hugged me back and took a picture with me and I asked if he could sign my phone case and he did. It was the best 12 minutes of my life. I will never forget it. That was the happiest I have ever been! Now all I have is a picture that I can fangirl over forever and ever.
