Oh my goodness these past couple days were absolutly awesome. Thursday morning I got up and drove to Fargo. I spent the day with my awesome cousin Jonn. I hadn't seen him in over a year, and we're really close, so it was awesome to get to spend some time with him again.
Super funness, this weekend happens to be the weekend of Fargo's annual RibFest. RibFest has concerts. The best part about this is, to get in and see these concerts, you only have to pay $5! Thursday was Kansas. I freakin love Kansas! So Jonn and his friend and I went to see Kansas. It was awesome. They totally rocked. They started out with some of their lesser known hits and a few new ones. Then they played "Point of Know Return", and the crowd went wild. They didn't play for very long, actually. Only about an hour. At the end of the concert they went off stage, and the crowd cheered for an encore, so they came back out and played "Dust in the Wind" and ended with "Carry On, Wayward Son". I stayed the night with them, and yesterday morning I came up to Grand Forks. My purpose for coming home this weekend was to buy a car. Mission Accomplished! I got me a 1999 Grand Caravan. Yes, I bought a van. It's pretty nice. I like it. And it only cost me about 4000!
Last night was holyshitsuperawesomefun. My parents and I went back down to Fargo for Ribfest again. My favorite band in the entire world was playing: Styx! Hell yes! I got to see Styx for $5!!! And ohmygod, they were SO freakin AWESOME!!! I can't decide if I had more fun seeing them this time, or the first time I saw them in 2000 at Rockin' the Hills. The crowd was *huge*. We got up pretty close, too! I got some good pictures. ^_^ And holy crap! They played damn near every one of my favorite songs! Or at least part of them. They did a huge medly of like 17 songs. I only wish they would've played some of their newer stuff. They didn't play anything from Cyclorama or Brave New World. They did, however, play two songs from Big Bang Theory, their newest album. I dunno if that really counts though, because everything on Big Bang Theory is a cover. They played "I Am the Walrus" (Beatles) and "I Don't Need No Doctor" (Ray Charles). Also, I wish there wouldn't have been so many taller people in front of me, but hey. It's a general admission concert. What are ya gonna do? I still had a kick a** time. <3Styx<3
