My cousin asked me how the Iron Maiden show went, and it took me a while to get around to telling him about it, so I made up by making it a very extensive description of everything that went down :] here goes:

ok, shame on me, its been a week and I havent contacted you about the concert

shaaaaaaammmeee!!!!

well now that that is over!

IT WAS AMAZINGGG!!!! like my status says, I'm still in shock! lol lets see, I had to skip two classes so that I could go. but one class was art history, where we only had to turn in a paper (and descuss the paper, but i just wrote a summary instead) and then I missed speech class, but it was a speech giving day and I had already given mine. So I drove to Charlies house, and from there Him, Steven, Keith, Rich and I hopped into Charlies car and we started our way down to Sunrise, about a 3 hour drive. oh, and we didnt make any stops lol, Steven(Charlies best friend) told us ahead of time that Charlie doesnt make stops... ever.. lol. so we made it to sunrise(the city the concert was going to be in) which is just north of miami, at the bank atlantic center. we stopped by the hotel first to drop off all our over night stuff, met up with twiggs and his gf sabrina, hung out for a bit and then headed over. we had two extra tickets so we tried to sell them before we got in the stadium, but we could only sell one. we didnt do it ilegally lol, we sold them for cost, well just the one, so we were actually in the whole, but thats what we get lol. so we headed in, thank goodness i didnt bring a bag with me or I would have had to stand in a way longer line. but then we got into the mass blob of a line for the merch booth. they had a special shirt for them visiting florida and i really wanted that one but they sold out before i got to the front of the line. so i got a different one. from there we went to our seats, and waited, and waited, and waited! then finally someone came out on stage, and it didnt look like anyone from maiden, and then a chick started singing, and it was ehhh, i didnt really like it, sounded kinda like within temptation, but more rockish, and not as much tallent. turned out to be the basists from maiden's daughter, so it was fitting in that sense, but not musically. ((this is when my phone died)) and then FINNALLY!!! Iron Maiden came out!! they started with the winston churchill video and opened with the ace of spades and then it lasted for a good two hours!! they played a lot of songs i didnt know, I'll ask charlie what some of them were later and let you know cause i remember them saying some of them were unexpected to be played at a concert. then twards the end they finally brought out the big eddie, he came out to the sarcophagus behind the stage and towered over the stage! we were up so high that we actually didnt get to see him that well except on the screens on the side. then they had futuristic eddie come out and he was at least 20' tall! he came out and the guitarist stood between the tall eddie, it was awesome! then they played number of the beast for the first of the encore songs and there were two animatronic devils on either side of the stage that were just about at tall as the tall eddie, but they were sitting, so it was just the heads moving. then shortly after it was over ;.; then in our satisfied states we headed back to the hotel for some much needed pizza and drinks. there were some pretty interesting people at the hotel, charlie smokes so we kept going down to the front of the hotel, and it was... interesting lol. by the time we werw about to go to sleep, me and charlie were the last to sleep, we tried to stay in the room, but we ran out of blankets an pillows, we stayed about 20 minutes but we both woke up at the same time shivering so we went to his car and slept there lol. we also ended up being the first to wake up lol. then when we got everyone up we headed back to charlies house. i wanted to stop by the beach but the other people that got a ride (Steven, Keith and Rich) wanted to go home right away. so we went home... no stops again lol. it was fun :]

well I hope all that makes up for not telling you about it sooner :]

anything i miss? lol

Thats it! thanks for reading :]
