I'm a little bit in love with My Chemical Romance. And by "a little bit" I mean a whole hell of a lot a bit. It had been 4 years since I had last seen them live, which is way too long. The moment they announced their Honda Civic tour with Blink-182, I knew I had to go. But of course, responsibility called and I had too many bills to pay, therefore crushing all hope of getting tickets to the tour. Damn you responsibility!
Flash forward to July 27th. My amazing boyfriend surprised me with tickets to the October 6th show in San Diego! They had just announced the new tour date so he was able to snag some good seats! I was so stoked!
October 6th came before we knew it. We got there about a half an hour before MCR went on and hunted down our seats. The Cricket Ampitheatre is one of my favorite venues and the second venue I saw MCR at for Projekt Revolution in 2007. That was an amazing day!
The show started and I was instantly ecstatic! I kept grabbing onto Will and shaking him after every song! He liked it ;) MCR was absolutely incredible as always. They never disappoint, they always put on such a great show. They sang a lot of their older stuff which made me super happy! It's been so long since I've heard them sing Helena live. I was able to get a few pictures and a couple videos before their set sadly ended. :( Gerard ended the show with Cancer before saying goodnight. I was so bummed when they left, it felt like they played for less than an hour! I can't wait for them to go on tour again.
It wasn't long before Blink-182 came out and started their set. They were really great! It was my first time seeing them live. They were really funny and put on a good show! I mean, not as good as MCR but I'm a little biased when it comes to my Jersey boys. Blink played for about an hour and a half or so. The cold wind started to pick up towards the end of their encore, so Will and I were freezing and couldn't wait to get out of there!
Blink's set ended and while I was sad to leave, I couldn't wait to get back into the warm truck. Will and I sat in the truck and waited for the long lines of cars to clear out. Little did we know that we'd be stuck there waiting for an entire hour before anyone was finally able to move. It was a packed house that night!
After the hour of waiting, the almost 2 hour drive home and trying to hunt down food for a good 30 minutes, we finally got home at about 3am. We were so exhausted, but it was all worth it!
BIG thank you to my wonderful boyfriend for giving me such an amazing birthday present! I love you so much! <3
