Switchfoot

That's the name of the concert that Switchfoot and Relient K played in at the Bren Events Center at UCI. Now I can say that I've been to the OC and to Irvine! Hahaha. It's really quiet in Irvine, serene, peaceful. Its a good place to stay, although I imagine it can get a little dull at times. Still, if you have a car, it gets you everywhere in the OC.

But that's not the purpose of the post. Its to say how much I loved the concert that was put up. Soooo much fun!!!!! Can't believe I finally got to hear Switchfoot live after so long, and they were amazing. Soooo amazing. They were tight, they were energetic, the music was good, they had good interaction with the crowd. Jon Foreman ran into the crowd and I couldn't believe I was so close hahaha. Star Struck! From the awesome soliloquy before singing "Meant to Live", to screaming in the guitar during "This is Your Life", it was one hell of a rock show. The only thing was they didn't play "Dare you to Move", ahhh! COME TO SINGAPORE YOU GUYS.

Relient K was quite good too, but punk rock never really is my thing. Still they got grooving real good, and there was even a foam shower when they were doing their christmas tunes.
Noticed that lotsa parents accompanied their kids to the concert. I wonder how that feels for the kids. I guess its interesting that parents here want to indulge their kids, or should I say, be around their kids for stuff like concerts. Somehow, I appreciate the little freedom I get in choosing concerts that I want to go to I guess hahaha.

I lucked out because I only got tickets for the seats but not the floor where ppl were standing. However, someone sitting just above me managed to get a whole bunch of wristbands and she very kindly gave me one for me to run down to the floor, into the mosh pit for Switchfoot!! WOOOO!

Ppl were wearing Tee shirts that said "I love hardcore christian girls" ahhahahaha. Thought that was amazingly funny. There was even talk that Kutless was performing on Sunday, and ticket stubs for this concert could get you Kutless at 10 bucks!

Seriously, I don't know what it is about christian bands that appeal to me, but its good music so I shan't complain. Wei Lin would have absolutly loveeddddd being here for this concert, especially when the encore was the cello guitar duet, Only Hope, from the movie, a Walk to Remember.











I never fail to be amazed at how much fun concerts can be, and letting loose and jumping in the crowd just brings you to a high. No need for drugs, no need for alcohol, just friends having fun together.

Thanks to Karen for putting me up for the night!
