BOOM! Owl City!

hey guys!  first of all, im sorry i havent been writing lately.  This month had a lot of stuff going on-some that wasnt too pleasant, so i didnt really feel like writing.  anyway, a couple days ago, Pepper got to go to an Owl City concert!!!! WHOAAAAA!  and i wasnt allowed to go.  ugh.  i sat in the car the whole time wishing I could see Adam in real life, but nooooo "No pets allowed".  But, im thinking you guy want to hear how the concert went.  or maybe you dont.  well, youre gonna because it's my blog.  so, i asked Pepper to tell us about it.  Here she is!

Hi!  Well, I've got to say, the concert was extraordinary!  I got a really close up view of the center of the stage, so I could see and hear clearly.  Breanne Duren (the amazing back-up singer and electric pianist) was really fun to watch.  She was dancing from the start of the show and she was smiling so much!  I think that we didn't even need lighting because Breanne handled that herself!  Anyway, she got to sing Thunderstruck with Adam, and that made me really happy because I wasn't a huge fan of the original version because Sarah Russell kind of made the song seem...icky.  However, when Breanne sang it, it was beautiful!  She obviously did the back up "da da da"s (some of you recognized that I referenced Plant Life immediately) really well and she was just awesome!  She walked right in front of me on her way back to the bus, so that was cool!  She's super nice.  Anyway...now let's talk about the other band members.

I didn't get to see the drummer from where I was standing, but the two guitarists were awesome!  I don't know their names, but they were really entertaining.  This one guy was using a violin bow on his guitar, and he had some solos which were really well done and cool!  It was also awesome to see their smiling faces, and at one point, the two guitar players started laughing about something on stage, and it was just really fantastic to see them enjoying themselves!  

Well...here's the part which was best of all...I GOT TO SEE ADAM RANDALL YOUNG LIVE!!!  IT WAS AMAZING!  So, his first song when he got on stage was Bird With a Broken Wing, which is one of my favorites!  He also did My Everything, and everyone started worshiping and  the whole thing just felt powerful.  When he sang Kamikaze (which is another one of my favorites), the audience did all the yelling parts (me included, obviously) and it was so loud and so worth it!  He took a while to warm up, but once he did it was awesome!  Everything about this concert was awesome!  My favorite song that he performed may have been Deer In the Headlights, because he was smiling so much during that song!  It was so cool.  His singing was perfect, I'm not kidding when I say "he didn't miss a single note".  He was smiling and dancing and he had solo's and he played a lot of my favorite songs and he played a song from Maybe I'm Dreaming, so BOOM, nostalgia.  It was a great experience!  I would love to go on and on about this, but my mum says I have to go now.  From Soul and I, UNTIL NEXT TIME!
