Congrats! I guess it's a little too late to say you better take pictures of you with the band. We want to see them posted here!

wildest night of my life was last night. good things and bad things happened. I drove down to binghamton at around 4:45 with a few friends and we got there at around 6 because we got lost for a little bit. When i entered the building I immediately saw John and Will amd JASON ANDERSON setting up the stage. I was with a buddy who wanted me to smoke but I was a bit hesitant to, I wanted to be completely sober for this night. After a while Phil called me and asked where I was, I told him I was in the building so we met up and he invited my friends and i backstage where the band had snacks and a private room. We talked to Phil Will and Jonathan for like half an hour and it was totally awesome. Now I understand what everyone means when they say they are the nicest guys in the world. It was DEFINITELY one of the high points of my life (gosh i am such a fan girl). John came in and said "soundcheck!" so we all left to watch them play Oregon Girl and a new song that sounded like it had parts of Song W And Song L. Will said the name of the song was something called Ash... somethinsomethin. It was something like that. After they were done with the soundcheck, Jason Anderson performed. It was magical. he has such a connection with the audience. He payed a solo set and was in the middle of the room and everyone was crowded around him. During his last song, my buddy who smoked fainted and fell on the ground. Someone called 911 and he went to the hospital. He is okay now but I feel bad because he missed the entire night. After Jason's set, me and my brothers managed to have a brief conversation with Jason before SSLYBY. It was time for the main event. SSLYBY. My heart must have skipped a beat at least five times the entire show. it must have skipped 5 beats when they DEDICATED YOU COULD WRITE A BOOK TO ME!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh I was so happyyyyyy. I was stompin my foot and clapping along the entire night. It was beyond great. They played a lot of their new songs which sound pretty different, but are still so good. I thiiiink they said one of the songs was called Floor Space. I think the high point of their set was the encore. They played I am warm and powerful and something else. These are the songs that I recognized that they played (not in any order) Oceanographer Glue Girls Oregon Girl Heers Modern Mystery Think I wanna Die House Fire All Hail Dracula Travel Song Pangea I am Warm And Powerful (encore) You Could Write A Book (dedicated to me ) Dead Right They played a lot of new stuff too. All of which sounded pretty good. After the show me and my friends and brothers stuck around until most everyone left. I got a picture with phil and we talked to them for a while. They ended up staying at my friends house in Binghamton (so jealous). Pretty much, I had a boner the entire night.
