Sorry it's been a long time since this blog was updated but a lot has been happening from crashing computers to concerts to new relationships. This will be a quick one seeing as I'm sitting outside a closed library stealing internet access with my boyfriend who is downloading awesome zombie killing games. I've strayed away from the original point of this blog which was supposed to be music so what better way to get back on track than with the best concert experience i think i've ever had. Mayhem Fest2010. Yup, i was there! Rob Zombie, Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Five Finger Death Punch, Lamb of God, Atreyu, In This Moment, and so many more.
The day started early, my boyfriend, friend and I driving to Mansfield Mass before the parking lot even opened,... we got kicked out and wandered around a strip mall and finally got there to wait in line for the parking lot to officially open. Again, we got kicked out so we went to the nearest gas station and got slushies. Yum!Okay, finally in the parking lot and into line waiting to get grouped by eager security guards.Going to be a to be continued because we have to evacuate. Damn,.. sorry! -Katie

Okay, back to the story. This was my first Mayhem Fest so I was completely unprepared for the day but now I know better for next year. The last real concert I had been to was a Dropkick Murphys concert in 2007 maybe, so I was excited. We waited in line for quite some time but we were behind some people that provided interesting conversation so it wasn't too bad. It was interesting to watch the line grow by the minute until it stretched across the parking lot.
Finally we made it in and it was so worth the wait. There were lines of booths selling all sorts of interesting items from jewelry to specialized t-shirts and more. So, we headed for the tared parking lot area where the first and second stage bands played. In This Moment was the first band to play, they were great. I strongly suggest looking for one of their cds but if you go to a concert watch out for the mosh pits. I got caught in a circle pit and if it wasn't for a kind stranger picking me up off the ground I would have been squished. This was a nice guy who was walking around picking all of the girls up when they fell and heading them to the wire fence where the circle mosh hadn't reached. Unfortunately the fence didn't survive the weight of the people leaning on it and a portion fell. I lost my boyfriend and friend by this point because they wanted to participate in the carnage.
After everything was done I found my boyfriend who was severely dehydrated and we went on a search for water. He looked like he was going to pass out. Water cost $4.50 per bottle by the way. I had $10 in my pocket for the whole day. So once he was hydrated we went in search of our lost friend, Steve. We didn't find him until two bands later. Again, to be continued! -Katie
