Kristfest!
So, here is what I did on Sunday, May 20th!
I had found out that Kutless (My absolute FAVORITE christian rock band!) was playing at a Kristfest (an annual concert thing) in Osijek, Croatia!
I must say, i was beside myself with excitment!!!
So, Lauren, Janelle, John, my parents, Ben, Becky, Jed and I all went up to Osijek, Coratia yesterday!
So, when we got into the city we all ate Mcdonalds and after we ate we sat in Mcdonalds wiritng Kutless all over ourselves just to be supportive and it was really fun!
Then, after Mcdonalds we tried to find the place where Krisfest was going to be, whcih took us about 30 minutes :)
It was in the old part of town and we all got in fine, excpet my father who slept in the van the whole time. The concert started at 7 and we got there at about 5 or 5:30. So we waited a while.
One of the bands playing was named "Fireflight" and they were from Florida, so while the band themselves were setting up their mechandise, Lauren went over and had a ncie chat with them. They were basically awesome!
So other than talk to "Fireflight" we just walked around looking at the empty stage and I was waiting for Kutless to come! AHHG, i was excited!!!
So, when it was about 30 minutes before the concert, while Janelle and I were just talking next to the stage, Jed comes running at me and pulls my arm to come here. So, i walka ll the way over to the "Firlfight" stand and one of the band members tells me to go with him, so i follow. He goes behind these guys guardiung a door where the bands are and the guy stops me, btu the guy from "Fireflight" tells the guy i can come. So, i take another two stpes and the guitarist for "Kutless" looks at me, smiles and shakes my hand.
Then, next thing i know the whole band, excpet the lead singer who came out a little later, was talking with us, asking us where we lived how long we lived there. I may not have breathed the whole time i stood there, i'm not really sure. But when the lead singer came out he shook hands wqith everyone, but me, i was behind everyone, far too nervous to shake hands!
So he talked with us a bit and they all went back.
So, That was an INCREDIBLE expericne for me. I had been waiting three years to go to a concert of theirs and not only do i get to go to one, i got to meet them!!!
So, first badn that played was a german band named "Sarah Brendel", they were cool!
Next was a british band named "Verra Cruz" who were awesome also. We got to talkw tih the lead singer after the concert for a bit, he was cool!
Then came out "Kutless", THEY.WERE.AWESOME!!!!!!
I mean i was banging my head, singing the songs, it was AMAZING!!!!!
There will be a videos and pictures of the concerton my xanga if you wanna see em :D
Anyway, we basically had an AWESOME time at the concert!
