AFI July 7th in a small club in Chicago. 25 feet from the stage if that. First row, balcony.

AFI on June 23rd.
I'd type out the whole story, but honestly, I wrote pages on Microsoft Word on it. Doubt anyone wants to shuffle through all of it.
Was the best night of my life. Simply put. I was RIGHT THERE. Honestly, I was a few feet away from Hunter. And, during Days of the Phoenix, Davey climbed up on the railing and leaned over to my friend Morgan and I holding out the microphone.
Of course, she and I both had a heartattack and exploded into pieces of rainbow confetti.
AFI Sorrow, you must have just died. How long did you wait to get so close to them?
It was the best concert I had ever seen. And, given my elderly status
, I have seen a lot of concerts in my time. I am so lucky that my daughter, Nat, got me into AFI. It is undoubtedly my favorite band right now. And, hey, there were people older than me in the audience. Singing along just like I was. Go figure.
This make me sooo happy! I'm glad you love AFI too.
Yeah, at my concert there were a lot of older people in the audience too.
They've been my favorite band for five years, so I figured waiting in line for three hours wouldn't be too hard.
And yessssh, I did die, it was wonderful and even though I started to faint in the mosh pit during Dillinger Escape Plan and had to be hoisted out of there by my two best friends it was the best night of my life.
They are AMAZING live aren't they? Everyone is full of such energy, it really blows my mind. That, and they sound exactly same. Davey's vocals never cease to amaze me, along with the wonderful instrument work and stage performance of our little Jade, Hunter and Adam. (I was so happy because from my position I got a perfect shot of Adam. He's really fun to watch, all twirly with his drum sticks and just completely rocking the PIRATE drums!!) And of course, Hunter was his typical self jumping from everything he could climb and Jade was kicking his "chicken foot" like never before.
And yes, the unity of the crowd is INSANE. Everyone is singing, young and old, all thrusting their fists into the air. It's magical.
