GREEN DAY

Ohhh.
OOOOOOOHHHH.
I SAW GREEN DAY.

And you know what?
There were a lot of people on their phones.
Billie Joe said "Tell them to fuck off. This is OUR fucking party."
So I won't be telling you any more, the end.

JUST KIDDING! (but he really did say that.)

BEST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE SO FAR.
So first win was immediate. We run in, straight towards the merch, and get into a giant crowd that was supposedly 'a line.' However we are persistant, and got my shirt pretty quick. I brought $40 for a shirt, thinking it was plenty, and they were marked as exactly $40. I was worried about tax, but it was exact so I had just enough!
Then we ran in and got in our seats, which were far back and at the top on the left of the stage. We're waiting and worrying about whether we will be able to see, when we notice the banner. THE BRAVERY. We didn't know who was opening and we freaked out. I love them!
In between The Bravery and Green Day, a drunk pink bunny stumbled onto the stage. I freaked and started poking my mom, going looklooklooklook! Look at that! We watched in amusement, (I was giggling the whole time,) as the bunny moonwalked (drunk,) humped the stage, log rolled, slid down a railing, and chugged his beer. It was beyond epic.
While we watched him running back and forth and rolling around on the stage, we reached the conclusion that it must have been Billie Joe himself. I mean, he's a little guy, and runs the same as the bunny, and was doing weird things that I would expect him to do. I've searched around and can't find any mention of who it was. I actually only found one concert review that was kind of brief. So the bunny is 'escorted' off the stage by a guard, and we continue waiting for Green Day.
The whole Key Arena was doing that thing that crowds do when they get excited. It's where one person will scream as a false alarm, but by the time they realize that, the whole place is screaming "WHERE?! WHERE ARE THEY?! AAAAAAAAAAHH!"
They opened with 21st Century Breakdown, and went full on into a high energy, amazing, show. I felt like they were friends of mine by the end of the show. Billie Joe is like a little ball of energy, bouncing, hopping, dancing, and running around throughout the entire show! I wish I had been one of the people who got to hug him.
People who got yanked from the crowd and thrown on the stage include: "Who's this little shit? Get him up here," which was some little boy, some girl who got to sing into the mic while he played guitar, another girl got to shoot a super soaker, and some older big guy that took two guards to lift onto the stage who walked up and kissed Billie Joe a big one right on the lips. Billie Joe just kind of went, ok then, and continued on while the guy sang to the crowd. The best was a guy who told Billie Joe that he could play all his songs on guitar. He said "You swear to god? Get up here," and he got to play Jesus of Suburbia on Billie Joe's guitar! He was extremely good and it blew my mind. I got a picture with him after the concert when I saw him outside, and I bet he felt famous.
Billie Joe told us that Green Day's new home was Seattle, WA, and we all screamed our heads off. He also said that we didn't miss him half as much as he missed us, and supposedly the band now belongs to Seattle :D After the concert ended, I spent the whole time we were supposed to be looking for the car wishing I could just run back in there. I know the concert was finished and that they had left, but I felt like as soon as I was gone they kept the party going. I felt like I knew them and didn't want to leave without meeting them officially, but I drug myself out. I still am all pumped up and wish I could party like that every day of the rest of my life.
Loves (this time, specifically to Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt)
I love you <3
