Amazing? Not quite. Fucking awesome. But anyway. Did I mention that we camped out for the Hartford show? No? Well, yes we did and it was... definitely an experience. This place was kind of... ghetto? Seriously, it's definitely something I don't want to experience again anytime soon, lol. A cop was there to protect us all night long and we had tents, so we felt safer, but still. We were about 20 people there, all girls and the neighborhood was really bad. Had it not been "Zac's birthday" show I totally would have gone back to my hotel.

Anyway, we're still alive and in one piece, so that's good, haha. As I said before, the show was really awesome. The crowd was so energetic and Taylor seemed so incredibly pleased, haha. I did say that I was second row, RIGHT in front of Taylor, right? *dies a little*

Before the acoustic set the people in front and second row put on those silly birthday hats and before Zac played FOTM he was like "So it's not Hanson tattoos anymore?" Haha.

Uh, what else? The whole show was great and I just don't know what to say or how to explain, haha. You've all seen the FUTY and the video/s on youtube, right? I'm still trying to find us in the FUTY, lol. We weren't that far away from Walker.

As for Atlantic City... Caroline decided to come along for one more show (technically her last one was Hartford, but she came with us to AC, haha. And I'm really glad she did because she's an awesome tour buddy.) The drive was pretty long and we arrived around 7.15pm and checked into our hotel (the Super 8, 5 blocks from the Showboat). And then we were getting ready and rushing to the venue... Caroline didn't have a ticket yet and mine were on will call, so we were in a hurry. And let me tell you that this place is fucking huge. The House of Blues is located on the second floor of this huge building that looks like a boat (at least one half of it) and there's this HUGE casino on the first floor, hundreds and hundreds of slot machines and one-armed bandits. Seriously, I've been to Vegas, but I don't remember seeing anything like this, haha. I wish I'd had my camera with me. :/

The show was awesome too. We could have easily gone to the front and be up close but we decided to stay in the back and have some fun there. Caro and I had a Tequila sunrise (my first show with alcohol, haha. But it was only one drink and we weren't screaming and making fools of ourselves ;) unless you count dancing and jumping and clapping and singing along) and we all had glowstick-bracelets. At least 5 on each arm and we're kinda convinced that Taylor could see them, lol. At least, I was doing this waving arms thing at one point and then he started doing it too. :P I like the idea of him seeing us there in the back, lol.

So far, I've been really lucky with my shows and even though I'm kinda bummed that I missed this amazing show tonight, I've had my fair share and I really have no reason to complain, lol. I heard FOTM electric first. :P

Okies, I guess I'll try to get some sleep. If Sam shuts up already, lol.

P.S. Can I get this exact same setlist tomorrow? Pretty please. -.-*
