Third Day Concert Bloomington, IN. (11/7/08)
Well, I wrote this that night after the concert, but I just got around to posting it on here!
As pumped as I was.....we shuffled on into the church bus.we took off to fazzoli's to eat before we went to the concert. It seemed like it took FOREVER to get done! FINALLY!!! We all ran back to the bus. It took forever to finally get there. But eventually we did. The first band was Revive! They were AWESOME!!!! They are actually originally from Australia. They relocated to the US. They sang A LOT A LOT of songs. Then, intermission. Uggghhh! During the intermission... Me and mack went to look at the bands tables.... Revive was by their table. Dave asked us how we were. And then we went back and waited. Then Needtobreathe was on. They were Okay. I guess. They weren't as good as Revive. Or at least I didn't think so. And when they were done... THIRD DAY's road pastor came out and told us about what they've been doing in Africa. Some good stuff. Then FINALLY!!!! THIRD DAY!!!! THEY WERE DA' BOMB-DIGGITY!!!! They sang for like 1 1/2 hours. One song that they sang was called Tunnel. When they did that one... everytime Mac would say "There's a light at the end of this tunnel for you." He would point at ME!!! Their, first, last song was my favorite... Run To You. At the end of it Mac popped his shirt and put both hands over his heart and threw it to me. Ahhh....And then they left. Ugghhhh!!! Then they CAME BACK!!!! They promised 4 more songs but it turned out to be like 6. Now, the last song was called Otherside. At the end he threw his microphone in the air and as he went off stage he waved to me. Ohh Mann...After... all the bands were out in the big area where we saw Revive earlier. Except for the Needtobreathe party poopers! We went to Revives table and me and mack were just standing there. And I just happened to look over and see Rich looking at us and he said hey and started to approach us. Then he got stopped by a fan. Then, he told us to stay where we were. Okay. Then he just blew off that fan and huffed. He came over to talk to us. "Hello, I'm Rich." I said my name before Mack. "Hello, I'm Chelsie." "Hello, I'm McKenzie." "Hello." He shook our hands. "Where'd you get that jacket McKenzie?" "Ummm... my dad." "Awesome... it's so American-ish. How Much? $2?" OMG... he wanted to buy her jacket. She just shrugged her shoulders. He talked our ears off! He asked if we were going to get anything for them to sign. And out of confusion, me and mckenzie told him we would. Uggghh...I wanted to get something for Third Day to sign. But we went on ahead and got a revive poster so they could sign it. McKenzie went first and i followed after her. Dave was first."Hello, I'm Dave." Shaking my hand, "What's yours?" "Chelsie." "Hello Chelsie! How are you?" "I'm good. How are you?" "Good, thanks for asking. So, how did you like the concert?" "Your Welcome. Ohh... I thought it was amazing!" "Well, that's good." He kept talking my ear off. Then he finally passed it on to Ty. "Hello Chelsie. I'm Ty. How are you?" "I'm good. How are you?" "Good. Who was your favorite band tonight?" "Uhhmmm... yours?!?!?!?!?!" "Good Girl." He talked my ear off also. Then Mike was next in line... but he was talking to someone. So I went to have Rich sign it. "You didn't get mike." I just shrugged my shoulders. "Mike, you didn't sign hers. She said she doesn't care about you." Uhh... RICH!!! "What?? Uggghhh... Okay, I just won't sign it." I thought mckenzie didn't get his but she did so i was like... "Ohh... woops." I ran over to Mike and offered the Poster. "No, I'm not signing it." "Please?" I could here Ty and Dave laughing behind me. "No!" "PLEASE!" "Okay but it's just because I like you." I could here Ty and Dave laughing again but this time Rich joined them. I flashed a smile at them and they started to whistle to pretend like they didn't laugh. "Yeah.... I'm not important. I'm just the drummer." "You are so important Mike." He talked my ear off too. The thing is that when me and McKenzie were talking we were saying how they seemed so shy and they weren't really talking to people. It was kinda weird they were talking soooo much to us. I turned to say goodbye to them and they all ran up to me and gave me a hug and asked me if I had a myspace and they said to add them. So I did. Then it was time....THIRD DAY!!! Yesss... my favorite. I was sooo... nervous. Then, we were about to go see them, but it was time to leave! Wha?? So... yeah. I've just got the memories. Well... I'm really sore and my hands have never been hurting as bad as they did Friday night. Soo... I didn't tell you all of what happened so if you want to know more... just ask.peace.love.hope.third day.and revive.-chelsie
