Heres how it went down. So I started out staying home because I was sick but I was talking to one of my friends. It turns out he had an extra ticket and my parents let me go. So me, my friend Gil, and his brother Bobbie went to see Flogging Molly. First we got free food at the backstage tavern and got in early. I went straight to the product stand and got a T shirt and the new CD that was supposed to come out today. XD So we're standing around for about an hour waiting for the first band to start. We thought they were gonna be bad, but once they hit the stage it was electrifying and they played some great songs that sounded like Johny Cash crossed over with a whole bunch of other stuff. They were called the Mighty Self or something from Dublin. It was crazy. My only problem was the drunk people in front of me dancing. I feel sorry for the poor moms and smaller dads that got dragged down to the concert. They got pretty pissed. Several people got kicked out for being too drunk. Some drunk dude gave away a hoodie then tried to get it back.He thought the catwalk was a third floor. XD After this the second band hit the stage. They were just setting up and I saw the instruments a drum set made of a snare, cymbals, and a bucket. Then there was a washboard and some really old guitars. They were like awesome rock bluegrass music. The people in the band was a big fat couple. It ruled. We thought they were ********' awesome too. Then, after 15 minutes of setting up, Flogging Molly took the stage during the radio blaring Teenage Wasteland and it was crazy. The pit immediately went berserk so me and everyone else were moshing. Everyone knew the lyrics and sang along even among all the moshing that happened. They played everyones favorties and people were throwing their beer around and going ape. It was so sweet. Me and my friend with his brother had to take breaks from the pit but then jumped right in. Some moron ruined it though by punching a few people in the back of the head, myself included getting beaten. Just when we thought it was over, the crowd got them to come back for an encore, and It was even crazier. At the end everyone was sweaty and smelled like beer and cigarettes. It was just insane. We left looking around for his mom's car in downtown Norfolk. That was interesting, because it was real late and we couldn't find her but we eventually found her and I got home around midnight.
