Parachute 09

Oh man..... where to start?
Parachute 09 was amazing. The best weekend in my entire life. Yep. Most definitely.
Okay i'm gonna take ages to type this. oh so what -
The Rapture Ruckus concert on friday night was sooooo epic. They had these two mean as new songs, Hold On almost made u cry.... it was that touching! - and Catch me Riding which was also amazing. And there were fireworks and gosh..... man it was incredible. Kutless on Saturday were awesome. This is like the first time they've ever been to New Zealand. And on Monday there was this mean as speaker called Chris Hill, after Parachute Band, and he was awesome! He killed
Barbie by dropping her off a window along with Ken..... its a long story, cum ask me about it if you're that interested.... anyway yess he was very very cool.
Casting Crowns were really good as well. On their second concert on Monday I was in the front row (of 35,000 people!!!!!) like as close as you could get! And I lost my phone in a Rapture Ruckus concert at Massive on Sunday and we were sure a teenager slipped it out of my pocket while standing on my toe and distracting me. We went to the lost and found centre but it wasn't there so i filled out a form. then me nd jord went to see kingston and Arms Reach it fully cheered me up. then i found my fone in the tent!!!!!!!! It must of fallen out when i ran back to get my rapture ruckus drumsticks to get signed... i never did get them signed anyway, sadly.and i fully remember closing the flip.... and it was open when i found it, and in like plain sight, and i'd already looked in there.... so yeah, pretty weird, but i've got it back so its all good. and we met this awesome NZ band called Smalltown Heroics, who think beka's cool. they like came out and met us. there was also this band of twelve year olds... there drummer was shorter than Me!!!!!!! they were pretty cool. we as a band are definitely going to play there next year. oh and they like got on MAINSTAGE!!!! Lucky aye? And at the rapture Ruckus concert they they threw out a chocolate bar and i actually got it... yesss it felt good it also tasted good but i won't go into that. And we met these cool as randoms who high-fived me and jords.... one of them gave jord a hug. And we also met these cool as Coke guyz who high-fived us too.
Me and Jords also ran into our friend Jacob from New Plymouth he can like ride the unicycle!!!!!!!! It was pretty cool. and the ember days are a really cool band they did their song Finger Painting which is basically a musical build-up with some mean bass in. it was really awesome on Sunday, Mainstage. Oh yeah, Family Force five were insane but realllly cool. Their drummer apparently did a handstand on his drums! And he also stood on them. i mean that is just crazy i wouldn't do that for a billion dollars. yesss i was pretty scared i couldn't believe it. in the rapture ruckus concert, their drummer and Brad (the main guy) did this awesome as drum solo. he had a three piece drum kit, a floot tom, a mid-tom, and a splash cymbal.... it sounded like a orchestra of drumz it was incredible! the coolest solo i've everrrr heard in my entire life. it was like ten minutes long! the crowd loved it. it was amazing what he could do with a three-piece drum set. i screamed until i couldn't scream any more. in fact i completely lost my voice on monday and sounded like i had the cold. i've only just got it back now on wednesday. anyway back to Parachute. Jords got lost in the Mumsdollar concert so i had to go look for him and then turns out he was moshing . don't laugh but i was looking for his red top when he'd put his other shirt on! so i like missed most of that concert. i also got two cd's, sanctus real and search the city awesome aye? and jord got the ember days new ep! oh yeah, and there was a cricket game with Family Force five and Kutless in oh gosh it was funny. and i spent $90.00 altogether not bad aye!? i was also in the front row when shooting stars came on... they're a side-project of mumsdollar. they were awesome. and in smalltown heroics their guitarist swung his guitar around but dropped it by accident it was sooo funny... then his strap for anutha guitar fell off. it was hilarious. On Friday at 5:00 the first proper concert, Addison were on. Never heard of them lol but was itching to see a band. They sucked . The drums were out of timme with the tune..... i mean the screams. they really wer pathetic. as soon as it started, a third of the crowd walked straight back out!
Yeah, it was the most rockin' weekend ever!
