R5 at the Chicago House of Blues

GOT MY R5 SWAG ON.

Hey you guys! I'm terribly sorry that I haven't posted anything in a long time. I have been so busy with school work and life stuff. But I had to get back to blogging. And I'm back with a very exciting topic!

On October 30th I went with a friend to the R5 concert in Chicago! I had the absolute best time! I haven't had that much fun in a really really long time. I loved every second of it. It was #Loud and I was definitely #DancingOutMyPants. I didn't get to meet them because the VIP tickets were sold out when I bought my concert tickets and the band wasn't around after the show At least I didn't see them anywhere. But I will meet them someday. I'll promise you that.
So it is two hours until Chicago from my house and it was a fun road trip! Not much traffic until we hit Chicago and especially downtown! I always expect major traffic anywhere in Chicago because well it's Chicago. Ha. We did miss our exit and had to take the toll road which sucked but oh well things like that happen.

AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL?

The entire two hours driving there we blasted my R5 CD and jammed with it. Yeah we put the CD on repeat several times. Plus to change it up a little I played the Austin & Ally soundtrack and listened to that as well. When we got there we waited in line for two hours and it started to rain a little but it wasn't too bad. It was cold though. While waiting I brought a bunch of my nail polishes and started painting my nails. I started at home but my hair took too long to do so I just brought all the nail polishes and finished doing my nails in line. I mean what else did I have to do? Ha. I painted each R5 member's favorite color (including mine) on my nails.

The Chicago House of Blues was so beautiful! I have never been there before and I was so amazed by it. The outside looked cool but it was the inside that blew me away. I loved it!

Brandon and Savannah opened for R5 and they were good. I enjoyed listening to them. Good energy. Ryland was next. It was awesome watching him do his DJ thing on stage. It was packed all around me on the floor and the screaming was sometimes unnecessary. Any noise that came behind the closed curtains made the crowd scream their heads off. I mean come on, really guys? Really? It got annoying but whatever I was there to enjoy the concert so I didn't let it bother me. Even though it sorta did.

HOW ADORABLE IS ROSS?!

The concert started and it was time to lose my voice. I did by the end. They performed all the songs from their album and some from Austin & Ally. I spent hours and hours watching anything about them on YouTube, be it interviews, official music videos, previous concerts that people have posted, I mean anything and everything and that was all great and entertaining but actually seeing them perform live for myself was so incredible! I loved every single second. I couldn't believe I was there. If I lived around the New York area I would definitely have went to all of their concerts around there! Ha. I brought every recording device I could with me (besides my laptop). My cell phone, tablet and digital camera. I didnt charge my phone enough so it ended up dying but I did record most of their concert on my camera and tablet. Check out my YouTube for a video that I will make soon about my adventures at the concert! It was the most amazing time! I wish I could go to them all!

RYLAND AND I!!

After the show, the merch was available to buy and of course I had to buy a few things! I also met Ryland, got an autograph and a photo with him so that was awesome!! I wish the rest of them were there so I was a little sad that they weren't but like I said earlier, I will meet them someday. And it will be fantastic.

Well I think that's it for this post. I think I covered everything that happened. I will add more later if I forgot something, I did forget one thing actually. I stood so much and for so long that my back hurt so bad and my back hurts when I stand for even a half hour so after two hours I thought I was gonna fall down. But I didn't. How embarrassing would that have been? Oh and there were all these tall people in front of me so there were times when I couldn't see very well. That was a fail and also irritating. But otherwise I had a good view when they weren't jumping around. I stood on my toes for a while but I could only do it for so long. My friend and I were standing pretty close to the stage but there were still several people in front of us. Next time we will be closer. Like first row. R5 has the best life. They're so lucky. And they deserve it, they work hard in what they do. I love you Ross, Riker, Rocky, Rydel, Ratliff and Ryland!!!! You guys truly rock the world. Mark and Stormie are pretty awesome too. I wish they were my parents. Lol.

Hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading!
Until next time...
