Holy Testicle Tuesday

Meh, alright this is a little late. The concert friday was AMAZING to the bigillionth power. All the bands were great, the drunks were funny and there is nothing like getting lost on your way back home.

To start off with we stopped at Subway before hand thinking we would be able to eat in there. WRONG. We had to eat at one of the picnic tables right outside of where they were checking bags while thousands of people were entering. So we snarfed to the point of almost barfing because we got more food thinking we would be able to make it last the whole night. Next we finally get done eating and get in line. I had a blanket with me, sunscreen, my camera and ticket. They made me empty out my pockets which have tons of change in them and my cards and money. Then they tell me I can't take my blanket in. Worse yet, blankets aren't allowed, but freaking towels are?!! Towels and blankets, same basic freaking concept. So Steph and I hid our blankets in the woods right by the entrance along with several other people. First act was Saving Abel, which played a few songs I didn't know, but played a few songs I did know and was happy to hear. The second act was Papa Roach. Now this guy has an addiction to the word fuck. He seriously couldn't say a sentence without saying fuck or any other form of the word. Luckily they played quite a few songs I knew and liked and only a couple I didn't know. Third was Hinder. I love Hinder, but they only played a few songs from their old album of which I love. They mostly played the newer stuff which I wasn't familiar with. But they were the best opening act. Then Nickelback! OMG they put on one kick ass show. There were only about one or two songs they played that I didn't know. It was just amazing, they played some of their older stuff which I hadn't heard in awhile and it was just astonishing seeing them play live. Now I can check that off my list of bands to see in concert.

So the ride home was definitely the most interesting part of the night. While getting out of Blossom we took a left turn instead of the right turn that everyone else was going. So we followed this widing twisted road and turned off onto another. This is when everything that leads up to death in a horror movie happened. We were surrounded by woods for a good 7 miles and it felt like we would never get out of that hell hole. When we first figured out we were lost we randomly started seeing patches of fog on the road. We passed a cemetary on the right. A few scattered houses and thick woods followed. We came to a part of the road that we couldnt see where it went until you were going down it. A closed off covered bridge that was not lit up. In fact, nothing on this road was lit up except for our high beams. Right after passing the closed off covered bridge (which I had to look up, its called Everett Road bridge, is the only covered bridge in Summit county and was built because a old couple tried to cross the river in the 1800's and fell in the river and died. It is said at night you can see a man walking by the bridge at night with overalls and a straw hat along with a lantern light. Thank god we did not see these I was freaking enough. Yes, I'm a chicken shit.) a random car appeared behind us and would randomly turn off and on their high beams. Creeeeeeepy.

After we finally got out of that mess we stopped at the worst McDonald's I had ever been to. We told the guy to hang on a second while we figured out what to order. Get this, he turned off the light to the menu in order to get us to start ordering. What an ass. Then he would keep giving us our total after every thing we ordered when we weren't done yet. We said screw it and left and hopped on the turnpike were we stopped at a rest stop and had overpriced Burger King with several other people from the concert.

All in all it was amazing. There were 18,000 people there.

Damn, I need to get to sleep. Fall semester starts tomorrow. I can't believe the summer is gone already. It really has been the greatest summer of my life so far and I'm hoping next summer will be just as good if not better. <3
