oops the concert sucked!
had no idea who the openers were, Jimmy Eat World at least brought some fun and energy to things and then.... Fallout Boy shows up looking like dads who got snatched up off the street and told they were gonna play a concert and they brought the same energy, or like they were a new baby band on their first tour.
like it was rad hearing songs I love live but I was severely underwhelmed by the stage show. props and pyrotechnics aren't a replacement for good energy IMO. there was no fun banter! it was just "we played songs and left", like they even said "we're not gonna do encores, we're just gonna play you some extra songs and that'll be the end"
plus the Moda Center is just bullshit. cramped assigned seating, security makes you move back into your line box if you move even a step out of it, you can't even go to the bathroom without security checking your ticket, etc so I'm never going to a show or event there again.
I could have gotten Metalocalypse/Dragonforce tickets instead but now that show is sold out and I'm just CRANKY. The only thing that made the time worth it was taking Neko out for her birthday and stealing Gar after work for snugglefuck time.
LE SIGH.
