Its the greatest thing you'd ever imagine.

Okay, well maybe not quite that good, but pretty darn awesome.

So, I saw The Honda Civic Tour last night. It was amazing. Panic at the Disco has a really good live act, and Phantom Planet was really good, Motion City Soundtrack was pretty good, and I didn't really hear much of The Hush Sound because I was busy being manhandled by the crowd. All in all, really, really, good. And now I have an awesome new hoodie.

Anyway, that concert totally made my top 5 ever. Yes, I keep a list of the best concerts I've ever been to. Of course, it takes into account the entire concert, not just the live band. It would look a lot different if we were just looking at individual bands. Okay, so here's the list right now:

1. Bowling for Soup (Summer 2004)
2. Tally Hall (Fall 2005)
3. Sleeping with Giants Tour featuring Cobra Starship, The Academy Is..., Armour for Sleep, Sherwood, and The Rocket Summer (Fall 2007)
4. Honda Civic Tour featuring Panic at the Disco, The Hush Sound, Phantom Planet, Motion City Soundtrack, and The Hush Sound (Spring/Summer 2008 (now, that is))
5. Van's Warped Tour (Summer 2003)

Now, if I were just talking about individual bands, it would be a bit harder. The Format would be on the list. They were amazing (AMAZING, seriously), one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Perhaps THE best, but they had 4 self-indulgent, mediocre bands playing before them, and the crowd was full of a lot of underage girls, and a few older guys buying them drinks. If the people suck, it tends to make the concert suck.

The point, if there was one, was that the concert was really good, the bands were really good, and you should probably pick up Phantom Planet's new album, if you haven't already. Okay, well I just added that new part, but its still true.

Anyway, now,

The doves have died
The lovers have lied

See you around.
