For Christmas I got tickets to go see the christian rock band Anberlin in concert in Nashville, Tennessee. Not only did I go but I got to share the experience with Leisha, mom and my friend Alison. The drive was about 3 hours there and very long...but we did see snow on the way up! When we finally got to Nashville we couldnt find the venue, Rocketown. We new it was a pretty small venue but we were struggling to actually find it.
While turning right on a street mom says, "Wait isn't that the lead singer for Anberlin?!" And Alison and I looked and YES it was him!!! We probably would've jumped out of the car if we could; he was on his way into Rocketown. We found the venue and we decided that we should probably eat somewhere. Alison and I weren't very hungry and decided that we would just grab some McDonalds and then go to wait in line which had already been formed at the venue while Leisha and mom went to a fancier place. Me and Alison waited in line for about 2 hours when mom and Leisha joined us. About 30 minutes later they opened the doors, which definatly saved us because it was very cold outside. We then made our way in and got our little arm bands and proceeded to the room where the concert would be played. We actually got pretty much the front row. There were no seats...it was standing. So Alison and I stayed on the second row and Leisha and mom went to the balcony. They didnt really want to be in the crowd where you would get pushed around. Anberlin wasn't the only band that played...the bands The Becoming, Between The Trees and Madina Lake opened for Anberlin. Of those bands only Between The Trees were really good and of course the oh so amazing Anberlin were great! Anberlin came out and the crowd went wild! Alison and I got very squished but had a blast standing so close! We got so many pictures too! Well...I only got pictures of Anberlin but Alison took some of the other bands. We didn't actually get out until around 11:30 and Tennessee is an hour ahead of Georgia so it was really around 12:30 am our time! Of course then we had to drive 3 hours back! So we didn't get home until really late and then I had to wake up for seminary the next day! Oh ya I went to seminary. We all enjoyed the concert!
