At Warped Tour, Craig Owens told us that in December,
Chiodos would be coming back to Atlanta
on a mini headlining tour. At first, I had no plans to go because I live four
hours from Atlanta .
But when I went through the meet and greet line, Craig said he would see me at
the show in December. How could I not go? I waited from July until September
for them to announce the show. When it was finally announced, I had a week to
get my finances in order. Can we say happy birthday to me? (Tickets went on
sale the week of my birthday). Then I had to play the waiting game. I had a VIP
ticket so that made waiting much harder.
When the day finally came, I woke up at 7:30 in the morning
to make it to the show on time (4 hour drive and a time change do not go very
well with concert going) But I got there in plenty of time for my VIP call and
it was perfect.
There were probably about 50(?) of us in the entire group. We
all got a Cinderella stamp on our arms to differentiate from the non VIP
people. We all stood in a line and walked through to talk to the guys. Somehow
the band and I ended up in a heated discussion about our hatred for grits. We
all hate them and I thought that was freaking hilarious. Craig Owens is such a
little sassy pants. :)
The first band of the night was a local band from Macon , Georgia
Homecoming
Complacency
The Best
Girls Like Kate Plus 8
Right Back At It Again (A Day To Remember cover. It Rocked)
5 Minutes
One In A Million
The band following this was Set It Off. Yeah, they
definitely were not my favorite, but everyone in the crowd seemed to like them.
They played
This Christmas (I'll Burn It To The Ground)
Swan Song
Breathe In, Breathe Out
Kill The Lights
Dream Catcher
Partners In Crime
Following them was Our Last Night. I have heard about them
for awhile too and they were great. I liked them so much that I bought their CD
after the show. They played
Same Old War
Age Of Ignorance
Fate
Dark Storms
Reason To Love
I've Never Felt This Way
Liberate Me
When it was finally time for Chiodos, the crowd was
extremely restless. Chiodos ran on stage and the crowd went insane. Crowd
surfers were coming over my head before the band started playing and it was
just awesome. They played
The Undertaker's Thirst For Revenge Is Unquenchable. (The
Final Battle )
The Only Thing You Talk About
Thermacare
There's No Penguins In Alaska
Two Birds Stoned At Once
The Words "Best Friend" Become Redefined
Behvis Bullock (New Song. Apparently, it was about their
record producer, David's(?) high school bully and all of their song titles are
inside jokes)
Is It Progression If A Cannibal Uses A Fork?
A Letter From Janelle
Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered
Baby, You Wouldn't Last A Minute On The Creek
(Encore)
If I Cut My Hair, Hawaii
Will Sink
Let's just say you know it was a good show when your entire
ribcage is bruised...
