this past weekend was awesome! saturday i went to live 8 with danielle and amber and wow that was crazy. it started as us running onto a train because it was the only one that had stopped at jenkintown for like 3 hours. haha so we get down there and already the crowd is a mile long. so we're like you know what, lets get as close as we can. let me explain the set-up first it was down like 9 blocks leading up to the art museum and there were three big screens each about 2 blocks apart and then there was the stage on the steps in front of the art museum by the statue of that guy. so our first time we get up to the 2nd big screen and it was awesome and were yelling and having fun, but we soon got bored of our position. so we go get lunch and afterards, amber was like alright we are getting to the stage! so she leads the way and it is packed! like you really had to manuever out there. somehwo we found a path of like moving people and followed it all the way up to the statue in front of the stage! we were the only kids up there and there was the hard core punks and gangsters up there like people that are really into it. we were a little scared! but surprisngly people were really nice and let us move up farther. haha "let these youngin's thru!" and we moved up even farther and seriously, the stage was like 100 yrds away. it was awesome! we couldn't believe we had made it all the way up there. i mean we walked all the way thru this :
