Nintendo Fusion

Nintendo Fusion Tour. That was the name of the concert I went to on Saturday in what was supposed to be one of the most rockin' days I've ever had. It turned out less rockin' than would've been hoped for.

The day was going to be glorious...football, apartments, concert. Football turned out as usual this season. Beat by Northwestern and steeped in pathetic football for the entire season. At least basketball has started and we are 2-0. That is a plus, despite the wins over small programs. Michigan State lost too, which is a huge surprise. Anyway...

After football I watched the band finish up, which is always impressive, and I got to stare in wonder as the band parents showed their dedication. It's awfully impressive what they do. After that we were supposed to look at an apartment. We is Justin, Andrew, and myself. They told us that they had a 3 bedroom we could look at as of Friday. When we went there, they told us that they thought we wanted to look at a 2 bedroom place. Meanwhile, they told us that all the 3 bedroom apartments were already leased, which is utter crap considering the info they'd just given us the day prior. So now we still need to find a place for next year, despite the fact that it's only November. I don't understand why they all lease places sooooooo soon. It's stupid. On to other things...

So after that frustrating ordeal, the concert was upon us. OH CRAP...I just realized that I have more people coming than I have tickets. WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!! I was scrambling to make sure I had enough tickets, and wondering where I went wrong. Somehow I ended up with less than I started. I had to give 4 tickets to people I didn't even know because I promised them to a friend. She backed out though and gave them to people SHE DIDN'T even know. So I was giving tickets to a friend of a friend of a friend. Ridiculous. But I had to deal with it. Next time I ask people if they want tickets for their friends, I want for their direct friends. So, in my hecticness, I had to meet people, collect money, and direct others around the C-U area. It worked out great, except for the fact that 2 people didn't have tickets. As the organizer of the whole thing, I said I wouldn't go. I messed up, I would eat the crap that came from it. But gol darn it, wouldn't you know, I have some AMAZING friends. They are such great people for stepping up and making the sacrifice they did. Andrew and Megan said they would go home instead, which was such a great friend thing to do. I'm not sure how I'll pay them back, but let it be known...they have something coming to them. So finally, after the hecticness of it all, we went to the show....

I didn't even watch the first two bands. Instead, I played a demo for the new Legend of Zelda game. It was AWESOME. It alone was worth the money to get into the concert. After the crappy bands, I got to see Motion City Soundtrack, The Starting Line, and Fall Out Boy. It was a pretty good show. Not my favorite, but it was good. Fall Out Boy put on a good show, one that was better than that of the other bands. Then we did the whole go to IHOP thing, and finally I ended up in Clinton for my week of break and rest....

Goodnight...it's late.
