| Nonpoint, Reveille, Darwin�s Waiting Room, and Sw1tched Saturday October 13th, 2001- The Masquerade: Atlanta, GA |
|||||
| We got to the Masquerade supper early like 6:45, because Melina said that the Masquerade�s home page said that the doors would open at 6:30. They were both wrong. While we were waiting, Eddie from Darwin�s came up to Melina and I and said hi. It was very random, so we were like, �Ok.� Grimm was near the booths, talking to a bunch of kids. Then we wondered where Akeem, Jeremy, and Janelle were. Janelle had told me that she was going to call Grimm before hand to see if she could get Lee and Jordan on the guest list. I decided to ask Eddie if he knew what time she would show up. So when he walked by us again, I called him over and I said, �Do you know Janelle?� And he said, �Oh yeah I know Janelle.� And I asked him if he knew when she was coming. He said he didn�t, so he went over to Grimm and asked him. Then he came back to us and said that she had called Grimm and said that she was on her way. So we thanked Eddie and he went back inside. After a while, this dude who we saw at the Deftones show in SC came up to us. And he talked to us for a long ass time. We hadn�t gotten our tickets yet but the people he was with had extra ones. So they sold them to us for $10 each, which is great because we would�ve had to pay $12 at the door. Janelle, Lee and Jordan eventually came. They were walking up from the parking lot when someone who recognized them of course stopped them. So they stayed and talked to this boy. Then we saw Jeremy, Akeem, Antonio, Brandon, and Joey coming from the other direction. They were a little late because Akeem had to pick up Jeremy since Jeremy�s car stopped running. Akeem went down to talk to the [guys] and Janelle. Then Jake went up to them and Melina freaked out! She couldn�t believe he was there. I couldn�t believe he was there. On the board, he was always saying how he was going to go to shows, but he never did. But there he was. When he left, she went down to talk to everyone. It didn�t take too long for the doors to open. The first band to play was Sw1tched. They were ok. They�re good friends with Chimaira; they�re from Ohio as well I believe. Nathan thinks they�re better than Chimaira, but obviously he hasn�t got a clue. Darwin�s was next and they were actually alright. When they did Feel So Stupid, I just had to laugh. Whenever I hear that song I just remember Akeem�s imitation of Grimm and it�s just so funny. But they were good. Reveille was next. They�re not bad, but they�re not terribly original in their sound, which is really unfortunate. I went on the floor for Nonpoint. They seemed a little different. I fear that they are becoming rock stars. They played a good set. The usual like Endure, Victim, Back Up, What A Day, Mindtrip, Double Stakked, Misled, and Hive. But they also played Hands, which is a new song, AND Years and Orgullo. They�ve never played those two songs live! And you know how long I�ve been dying to hear Orgullo and it sounded awesome. Everyone was so into them, and I wondered where all of these fans came from. It was weird. They left the stage then did an encore with Tribute. Darwin�s came out on stage to do it with them and that was just awesome, because I never thought I�d hear Tribute live. Andy looked really skinny. It seems as though he�s lost a lot of weight. And Robb seemed to be acting a little stranger than usual. He and Janelle made nice, which was good. She was happy about that. The show was fun, but I think I can do without Nonpoint for awhile. I�ve seen them so many times. I�m due for a little break. | |||||
