Yesterday (July 3rd), had to be the best damn day of my life. First, I got roomate information, so I know who I will have to share a dorm with. I had been waiting for it for a while now, so yea, that was cool. Hell, I even contacted the guy.
Second, this girl I asked to Milwaukee's music festival, Summerfest, did not have an excuse not to come. I had planned lunch with her the previous wednesday, but she had last minute plans that came up. We went to summerfest and had a hell of a time. We went to the PS3 tent and hung around there for a bit.Â
Finally, and most importantly, we went to go see a band both she and I love (What is the fucking point of going to a music festival if you are not gonna listen to some live music?!). We went to see RUSH. Now, I had seen Rush twice before at summerfest, and I was not dissapointed. I expected no less from the greatest trio in the world (Suck It Jonas Brothers >
). She desperately wanted to hear Subdivisions, and I just wanted to hear them play. My god, was I in for a fucking surprise.
  Instead of being a good concert, like I expected, this thing was........FUCKING INCREDIBLE. I mean, I was really, really pleased with all of their songs, and they even played Subdivisions. For a Rush fan, or anyone who wants to hear some amazing fucking music, this concert was the deffinition of FUCKING AMAZING (I looked up fucking amazing in a dictionary, and saw a picture of the concert as the deffinition). What was also great about that night is that summerfest puts on a fireworks display for Independence Day on July 3rd! Those Fireworks shot up right at the beginning of YYZ. My god, it was epic.Â
So yeah, long story short:Â Great Girl, Great Band, Great Visuals, Great Day
