The Masquerade - Atlanta, Ga

This show was crazy crowded. It was sold out before we got there and I think they let like 300 more people in when doors opened. PLUS all the people who snuck upstairs from hell. I've never seen Heaven so packed. You couldn't move there were so many people there. And this was the second show they played in ATL. I can't imagine how bad it was Thursday night. 

POS opened and I felt bad for the guy. He's a rapper and this was not a rap-loving crowd. Not to mention, he wasn't even a good rapper. I caught him with Gym Class Heroes in the spring and wasn't impressed with him then either. 

The Devil Wears Prada was way more entertaining than I expected. They're a little too hardcore for me but I was really impressed with them live. They performed their "Still Fly" cover, which was the only song I actually knew. haha. They did cute little choreography like lifting their guitars at the same time and all that jazz. 

Saosin, the band I went for, was incredible. Cove has dreads now. They played "You're Not Alone" and "Seven Years" along with several other old songs and two (I think) new songs! However, they did NOT play "Bury Your Head". What's that all about, guys? Cove's stage presence is so good. Kristen and I decided that he reminds us of Brandon Boyd and Ryan from Envy On The Coast when he performs. 

After all that goodness, I ran downstairs to see Joy In Tomorrow in Hell. I freaking love that band. For any other JIT fans, they're going to Cali to record their new CD and won't be back until January. I'm excited for them. =) I only caught the second half of their set but they played a new song and it was really good. 

I hung out with Veronica in Hell for most of Underoath. Hell is so scary when there's a show in Heaven! I swear the ceiling was about to collapse. The disco ball and pipes were all shaking. Scary stuff. I went up for the last few songs. I was expecting them to play "Reinventing Your Exit" but they didn't. Therefore I was sad. That's the only UO song I know. haha. The couple of songs I saw, were good. They're a lot better live than recorded. 

We chatted with Cove a while after the show. He's super awesome and nice. Kristen got him to write out "you're not alone" for her future tattoo and he called her weird. lol.

I talked to Aaron for a split second before the security guards make us leave. He shook my hand! Dude I was amazed, I hear he's a huge germaphobe and won't touch fans. I guess he got over it. 

Overall, good show.
