Extremely bored so I'm reviewing this. I went to this show for the sole reason of seeing Set Your Goals, and they had to drop off the show at the last minute. Lame.
City Lights - Had never listened to this band before, fun pop punk with some breakdowns. I crowdsurfed and moshed and made a lot of girls mad.
You Me At Six - Pleasant surprise, good pop punk songs. Got a shoutout from the singer while crowdsurfing, and I did a stagedive off one of the railings on the side of the pit area and got thrown out of the show by security. They let me back in a minute later though. Note to all: no jumping off the railings at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus.
The Secret Handshake - Not into them at all. Really bouncy music, singer sang with that robot voice thing. Not feelin' it.
Mayday Parade - This band is pretty good live. I like a few of their songs. Definitely crowdsurfed a few times.
The Academy Is - Not into them, and people didn't seem to like them as much either. Mayday Parade should've been headlining. I moshed when they played "Slow Down" though.
Pros:
- being "that guy" who crowdsurfed a lot.
- getting kicked out and let back in
- the show was a lot better than I thought it would be
- Hanging out with people on the OSU campus afterwards.
Cons:
- lots of 14-year-old girls and lame people
- no Set Your Goals
- driving back in pouring rain and hydroplaning twice.
