Jonny Diaz Concert

Hello people! Hows it going? It's great here. And Thanksgiving is coming up!! All the good food guys! :D And Christmas!! I know what your probably thinking "It's not Christmas!! We haven't even had Thanksgiving!" Yeah, whatever. I am in the Christmas spirit now, and it is all Tenth Avenue Norths fault. If you didn't know they just released their first Christmas album called Decade the Halls. IT'S AMAZING!!!!! And I can't mention it without putting a picture of it on here. :P 

Isn't the cover totally Amazingly, AWESOME!!!

Anyways all of that is besides the point. What I came on here to tell you about is the Jonny Diaz concert I went to a few days ago. :D 

So yeah, like I said I went to a Jonny Diaz concert. I am not really a fan of Jonny Diaz, (not because I don't like him, but just because I don't really know him) but the concert was really close and only 5 dollars at the door, so I was like "Let's go!" I mean it's a concert, right? So anyways me and my sister and some family friends went to the concert. It was cool, and Jonny Diaz sang really good. One of the coolest moment was after the show he was standing by his merch table and me and my sister got to meet him and get a picture with him. It was really cool! :D So anyways, here are some pictures from the concert. :D :D (yep I was stuck with the piece of junk camera again, so the pictures aren't that great. :P)

Here is a video of him playing Breathe

So yeah! Although it could never, ever, ever, compare to a Tenth Avenue North concert, (no one ever could) it was still very cool and I enjoyed it a lot! :D 

See you later! 

Tenth Avenue North is the BEST!!! 

IT'S OUT

Decade the Halls is officially released!!!!!! YAY!!! Everyone cheer! :D :D 
Now you all can go buy the album, or go listen to them. You can listen to the songs on YouTube. Mistletoe (the Christmas Sweater Song)  This one is my favorite! :D :D 
You can also listen to them on Spotify and a couple of other places. :) So GO LISTEN TO THEM!!!
Or at least save them for later to listen closer to Christmas. :D

  God bless America!!! (and Tenth Avenue North)

                                          My Review 

                                            3.5 stars

This book was a pretty good read. It was a little slow at first but picked up near the end. I enjoyed it but it wasn't really my taste. Bound is a great book for younger audiences and older people alike, and has an exciting story of two runaways on their way to freedom from their abusive parents. The book was written pretty well (though I didn't understand some of those fancy words. :P :P) Victoria did a good job. All in All I enjoyed it and I'm sure you all will too!! :D :D  I received a copy of this for my honest review

                            Now for the giveaway!!! :D 

For some reason the giveaway picture WILL NOT WORK!! UGGGG! Sorry guys. :(

Decade the Halls!

Guys! Decade the Halls comes out TOMORROW!!! YES!! TOMORROW!!!

Tenth Avenue North

Guys!!! I went to a Tenth Avenue North concert!!!!!!!! 
It was AMAZING!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! 
And MIKE DONEHEY!!!!!!  HE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! His VOICE!!!! It is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
OK, *takes deep breath* I should probably get a hold of myself. :P :D 
But you guys don't understand what is happening here!! My dream came true! I saw my favorite-est band of all centuries and all time, LIVE!! In concert!! They were there, like right in front of me!! I SAW them in REAL LIFE!! Ohhhhh, it was amazing! Like the best thing I have ever done in my life. THE BEST!! I should probably stop ranting on and on about how amazing, and wonderful, and awesome, and beautiful, and the best thing ever, it was. I will now show you some pictures and videos I took. (I had a pretty junk camera most of the time so the pictures didn't turn out very good)

   We got the VIP experience so this is from the pre-show Q&A and acoustic set.

 

This is where they first came out. :)

Unfortunately my video of them singing Beloved for the acoustic session is to big so I can't put it on here. But I will put it on my YouTube channel. I will put a link to it at the bottom of my post. :D 

Part of the Q&A session

                                         

Then Mike told the story about his unfortunate incident in Honduras, which is my favorite-st story ever! It is SO hilarious!!! But that one won't upload onto my blog either. So I will put them on my YouTube channel. And a link to it at the bottom of my post. :)

Here is a clip of them playing Cathedrals

And here are some clips from Losing

Mike is really getting his dance moves in. :D :D

I love this one. :D :D

                                          

And finally part of the bridge.

                                          

I really love those videos I got of losing! They are awesome! :D 

OK, now I will put some pictures I took on. :D

I got this pre-signed poster that came with the VIP experience. :D 

Because sadly I didn't get to meet Mike or the other guys. :( :(

    Yep! There is Mike Donehey's signature!
