A night on the town with Blink 182

I won tickets to see my favorite band of all time Blink 182. I have always loved the poppy punk beats and the singers have the most unusual and charming voices ever. Not to mention if you ever listen to the words of the songs they just make you smile. 

My husband, my brother, his friend and myself all met up at the Cynthia Mitchell Woodlands Pavillion where  I was to be able to listen to my favorite band live for the first time. I was a little nervous they wouldn’t sound as good live as they did over the radio but they did not disappoint. 


When I walked through the gates I became that excited high school girl again. My mind fell away from the fact that I was 31, married and with a 15 month old daughter at home. Tonight I was relieving my high school days and would dance until the show was over.

Matt & Kim started the show and I quickly became a fan. They are a hilarious duo with some mad skills. Plus Kim shook her bootie for us so who could complain!  They were followed by My Chemical Romance that had a killer set and made me fall in love with their music all over again. The energy of that band is amazing... not to mention how cute they all were in their Halloween Costumes. The night ended with of course, Blink 182! I never wanted them to get off of the stage. They sound better in person than on the radio and pulled out some new songs and didn't disappoint us by bringing back all of their old ones that we all love. Travis' drum solo was simply AMAZING. I wish I could watch them play every night. I could never get sick of that band.


I wasn’t able to take in my professional camera so I took my back up point and shoot. This is a Sony Cybershot that has an amazing zoom and great pixels. It is the next best thing to when you can’t take a professional camera. Below are some of the pictures I took of Matt & Kim, My Chemical Romance and Blink 182.


P.S. I did remember to buy my daughter a Blink 182 onsie before going home. I wouldn’t turn back the clock in a million years if it meant spending the entire night away from her.  Like Blink 182 says, I guess this is growing up"!
