Top 5 best 2008 concert moments:
1) Having cute convos with The Summer Set, and having them remember us at the end of the night.
2) Pat being all freaked out and scared because a homeless man started yelling at Julia LOL.
3) Waiting under a tiny umbrella with a group of strangers in the cold cold rain, just to meet Andrew.
4) William Beckett being all cute and impatient while we took a picture together.
5) GETTING THE JACK'S MANNEQUIN SETLIST! ... or just having a one-on-one conversation with Andrew, without being crowded by people.

Top 5 worst 2008 concert moments:
1) The crowd/security guards at Boys Like Girls/The Maine. To the group of 13-year old girls behind me ... calm the fuck down. And to the security guard who refused to take me out of the crowd? Fuck you.
2) The Maine leaving us out in the parking lot. THANKS ALOT.
3) The girls beside/behind me at Jack's Mannequin. Yes, Nate did look drunk and looked totally weird in his outfit, but he's 1000000x more talented then you. And no, the nice security guard will not take you backstage.
4) The rain at Warped Tour (not totally a horrible thing, but it was difficult running to the bus station LOL)
5) Almost passing out at AP Tour :( and losing my FUCKING BARRICADE SPOT AT TAI (and totally my fault too btw, need to get more before going to shows fyi!)
