My Last Night in Dallas - The VNV Nation Concert
Now where was I?.. ah yes, I got to meet Ronan. After getting his picture and autograph they began letting us all into the club. Sam and I bee lined to the merchanidise area to scope out the different things they had. Then, Sam bought us Cherry Vodka Sours and we made our way to the stage. It was great, we made it easily to the front row and held our positions. We talked with our friends, found old aquantances, and spoke with other people who were slowly but surely filling up the audience space.
I forget the name of the first band that played. Well.. it really wasn't a band so much as a guy playing on his laptop. hehehe. The crowd no doubt still were excited and quickly got into the music. I, however, did not have the best time. Being in the front row next to how many odd speakers there were while Power Noise Bass serges throughout your body is not the best environment for me. By heart freaked out and I couldn't breathe. I thought I was going to pass out, but Sam noticed that something was wrong and pulled me back a couple rows. Away from the full impact of soundwaves crashing through my body, I was able to now enjoy the music. I really don't like Power Noise music, but this stuff wasn't too bad. And being at a VNV Nation concert, I really didn't care. I was having fun! We danced a little but mainly made fun of the guy playing. He was sporting a black top and black vinyl pants. The pants had a white stripe that ran down the outseam of each leg and resembled to me and my friends, jogging pants but made out of vinyl. To top it off, the guy was bouncing around and so energized that he seriously looked like he had come straight out of an exercise video. We all laughed at our joke and discussed that perhaps he should make his own Goth Work Out Video. I bet there would be a market for that. hahaha!
After the Power Noise guy finished playing I made my way back up to the front hoping fervently that when VNV came on I wouldn't have to move away from stage. I love VNV and I wanted so desperately to be front row for the concert. Imperative Reaction was coming on next and I couldn't wait to see them. It had been about a year since the last time they had come to our area. Last year they played at Arlington at Mythos at Division One. I remember that night really well. It had been a rather fun evening. Sam and I had planned to go, though at the time I didn't remember what the band name even was. Sam just wanted to take me out and have me hear some really awesome bands. One night when I had been talking with Brek, he mentioned that he would be going to see some little concert in Arlington. Next thing I realize.. we'd be going to the same thing. I was so excited about being able to spend time with Brek. We had only known each other for a couple weeks then but I still really liked him. We had fun that night. During Imperative's first song, Brek and I had held each other close. After which, we couldn't resist. We danced the hell out of that concert. Everyone at the concert was dancing. The energy was so high, the music was so awesome, it was a great show. Brek had asked me to come home with him that night to watch a movie. Oh I wanted to so bad. I didn't want to leave, I just wanted to stay with Brek. But I wouldn't have had a ride to get back to Sam's, let alone my place. So I couldn't. I wonder still sometimes, what would have happened had I gone back with Brek? .....
Imperative had finished setting up and their concert began. They started with my favorite song of theirs, the very first song I had ever heard from them before, the very first song they had played at their last show, when Brek had held me so close. The same energy was there and we all danced, and jumped and I sang. This time though, I actually was watching the band. I got to see what they all looked like, I got to see Tom. Hahaha it was so kewl. Everything was as good as I was hoping and everything was going so smoothly... till the song ended. Everything stopped, Imperative Reaction's computer crashed.
