"The Top *Insert Number I Don't Know Yet* Quotes From a Very Loud, Rambunctious Concert Full of Crazy Youth Groups

*We now interrupt your regular broadcast for this news announcement!*

Okay, okay so I've really slacked off the last month and haven't even finished our vacation (I really am close to being done though!). I promise I will finish!! But today I have something else that needs to be shared.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a concert...I haven't been to a concert in quite some time! It featured, FM Static, Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK), This Beautiful Republic, B. Reith, Audio Unplugged, and Jars of Clay.

The following is "The Top *Insert Number I Don't Know Yet* Quotes From a Very Loud, Rambunctious Concert Full of Crazy Youth Groups While We Sat in the Back and Lost All of the Little Hairs Inside our Ears that Promote Listening"...in no particular order.

1. "Is that a partial mullet?" - in response to This Beautiful Republic's lead singer

2. "My forehead is vibrating!" - um, it was loud...nuff said.

3. "That was from back in 1995!" - after Audio Unplugged sang Big House --- we then realized, "Oh dear. Most of the people in this room think that's a REALLY long time ago because they were either not born or about 2 years old."

4. "Is that necessary?" - in response to insane headbanging done by This Beautiful Republic

5. "They could totally throw cuss words in there and we'd never know!" - um, this could apply to a lot of the night.

6. "My jeans are vibrating!" - it was still loud.

7. "Why doesn't that infant have earplugs?!"

8. "We've got 1 more song for you tonight!" - TFK --- "Oh so that's a song?!" --- us.

9. While everyone else is yelling "One more song, one more song!!" we are saying "NO MORE SONGS! NO MORE SONGS!"

10. "If I headbanged like that and played the drums I'd smack myself in the face with a drumstick!" - in response to This Beautiful Republic's drummer with the long flowing blonde hair who appeared to be seizing.

11. "I need a translator." - again, this can be applied to a lot of the night.

12. "Crowd surfing is all fun and games until someone gets dropped by a 13-year-old." - due to the crazy people crowd surfing at the altar.

13. "Why doesn't that child have earplugs?!"

14. "We're old."

15. "My hair is vibrating!" - yup, still loud.

16. "Why did they put Jars of Clay last? All of their fans are the ones that have to get up at 6 a.m. for work."

And there you have 16 quotes. I think that most of these are things I, at one point in my life, said, "I'll never say anything like that!"
