** Hello Fascination **

Something that has always influenced me in many ways from a kid to now has been music. Music has a way to make you express yourself in many different ways; from playing it, writing it, to just listening to it by yourself and also jamming out with friends. Music allows the listeners to feel things they haven’t felt before. They tell stories about the artist’s lives which may be very similar to things you’ve gone through and make you want to listen to their music even more. No person is set to one genre of music or (band/artist). Many people are very harsh to their friends when they listen to something that they don’t like, which can be very hurtful to someone. Music isn’t meant to make you feel bad, music is meant to take you somewhere where you want to be at any time on any day. When someone that has never liked one style of music is able to accept that that type of music isn’t horrible then they will have learned what music really is. They will have learned that judging people and their music isn’t fair because it’s all different. Music is created to make you happy.



** A Dialogue **

(Friend) Dude this is going to be awesome. (Me) I know I can’t wait to hear all of my favorite bands. (Friend) This might be the best concert ever. (Me) I hope so, I’ve been waiting forever to come to this and see all of my favorite bands at one show. (Friend) Who are you most excited to see? (Me) Breathe Carolina for sure, but I’m still excited for the rest too, they are all amazing. (Friend) Yeah man, I don’t think I can pick a favorite. (Me) Well we can have a similar conversation after the show! (Both) Let’s go!

**10 Things to Remember (Advice) ** 1. Never wear anything you wouldn’t want to get dirty or messed up, also nothing black or pants because it will be hot. 2. If you decide to bring money with you keep it somewhere out of reach and to where it won’t fall out. Because you will be close to a lot of people and they will be tempted to steal. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">3. Next always be with someone you know for many reasons. You could get beat up, robbed, lost, or anything random and out of the ordinary. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">4. Next if you are with a group of people be sure that someone brings a backpack with water bottles, because anything at a concert is super expensive especially drinks. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">5. Never go to a concert without any sleep, you will not have as much fun as you could have. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">6. Also don’t get in a mosh pit, if you don’t want to get hurt. Because people simply do not care and don’t do it for fun anymore they do it to hurt people. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">7. If you do decide to get in a pit, have your friends join you in case you get hurt they can be there to pick you up or defend you if need be. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">8. People also like to crowd surf, but be aware that not everyone is paying attention when you are crowd surfing so it can end disastrously. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">9. If there is a band/artist you are there to see and no one will move for you to be close, move them. If everyone else doesn’t care about anything, why should you? You paid to see them play you should be as close as you want. It’s worth it, if you love the music. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">10. Finally when the concert is over and you are near deaf, can barely talk, and are completely worn out it was a good concert.

I’m so excited today is the day I get to see most of my favorite bands in one day. It’s also the first ALL day concert I’ve been to, I can’t wait! There are at least 9-10 different bands I want to see perform today. I’ve always been to concerts that were only a couple hours long but this one lasted from 11 am – 9pm… I don’t think we are staying for it all but we will definitely stay until we’ve seen all the bands we came to see. I can’t wait to tell everyone about how awesome it was, now it’s time to stand in line and go inside.

We enter the stadium, So many people, It’s so loud, Bands are already playing, Let’s get to the stage.

No time to waste, Which band should we hear? How about this one? Yes.

Suicide Silence, The first ones we hear, Hey dude? Yeah? This is awesome.

It was coming down to their last song, the song we all loved. The singer had just instructed the crowd to form a “wall of death” mosh pit. Basically everyone in the mosh pit split into 2 sides and got ready to mosh. When the singer started singing, the 2 sides ran at each other and began moshing. Well one of my friend’s decided he wanted to be a part of this, then took his shirt off and started bouncing up and down to get pumped. He looked back and said “you guys coming”? We all shook our heads in the no direction. We didn’t want to die in the pit. Since we weren’t right beside the stage our friend had to walk down there and as he was going down there he disappeared. We were all like… what happened to him? The last thing I saw was him throwing his fists up in an act to get pumped and then he disappeared. Worried for our friend but also for our own sake we decided to wait until the song was over so the area would clear out so we could find him. We went down the hill pushing through people, no sign of him. We’re thinking oh god, what the hell happened? Then out of nowhere he shows up right next to us. Sighs of relief, we quickly hugged him and asked him what happened. He said “I came down to start moshing and got hit straight in the face before I even got to the pit”. Dang dude, are you alright? “Yeah I’m good”. As he spits out blood from his mouth, he then so calmly asks who just played. I said Suicide Silence, don’t you remember? “Oh right, well who’s about to play now”? Breathe Carolina; it’s going to be awesome! He said “sweet, so who just played”? Worried that he might have memory loss from being knocked to the ground and possibly kicked in the head, I went along with his constant repeating questions. Although my other friends found it to be quite annoying; so for the first band we see, we have that great experience…

More importantly why are we right next to it!?!?!? <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;"> **(Friend)** I have no idea, but I’m not trying to die, let’s move over a little bit.

<span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">

** Personal Thoughts ** <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">I think once I get bigger physically I will try getting in a mosh pit, but for now I’m way too skinny. I would get destroyed in any pit. Surprisingly there are a lot of girls that get in pits, and some just do not care and hit and get hit just like the guys, it’s kind of scary. Actually my main concern isn’t necessarily about my size; it’s about getting hit in the face. I’ve never really been hit in the face before, and I sure as hell don’t want to get hit by some huge guy intentionally trying to hurt me. I couldn’t handle it if I lost teeth, or my nose got broken, or I got a black eye. I think if it came down to any of that I would intentionally try to hurt that person back. So now that I’ve pondered those thoughts out loud it doesn’t sound like a good idea…
