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 called All For Nothing. I really really really liked them. They played (the song titles might not be complete because I do not know their songs)

Homecoming

Complacency

The Best

Girls Like Kate Plus 8

Right Back At It Again (A Day To Remember cover. It Rocked)

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

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

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
