How I did it: Found out that concert tickets aren't nearly as expensive as I had first thought. $20 for lawn seats to BFD in Mountain View, CA. The bands were good, but hanging out with the family was fun. Next, Blink 182 at the same venue. Read how I did it…

I was able to see Anastacia in concert. What I liked most were the high-energy numbers. Such fun :) I had a good time.

I live in a fairly small sized town and have never been to a concert. I would like to go to one. I would love if it was Panic at the Disco, but they aren’t touring right now. So I will have to find another band that I love and go to my first concert.
This goal is to complete over the summer, as I have been to many concerts in the past couple years [Lollapalooza 2008, Nine Inch Nails, Bright Eyes]. At the end of the month Julie [friend] and I are going to see Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, which will be a lot of fun and I will be able to check this off my list.

I just tickets for Q101’s blockparty with 311 and the Wailers! They both played here a couple years ago and I went and it was seriously one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to…. It’s at the lakefront pavillion, or charterone pavillion as it’s called now… but yeah…. the sun setting behind the chicago skyline with Lake Michigan behind you as the wailers do all the classic Bob Marley…. Heaven :)
