One Direction: This Is Us

To be honest, I am a huge fan of One Direction and I absolutely loved this movie. After I heard the first word thats said in this movie, which is by Niall, I just started crying. Just bawling my eyes out because the 5 boys Im in love with are right in front of me, and it just made me soo proud to be part of such a huge fan base that supports these 5 young, talented, amazing boys.

Now, this is a concert/documentary film, and it gives you both the fans and the boys perspective, which I enjoyed very much. I also got to relive one of the best days of my life, seeing these boys in concert. And for the fans who couldnt go to one of the Take Me Home tour shows, they get a VERY nice 3D experience. I really enjoyed the fact that they put they're performance of Teenage Dirtbag in the movie, it's one of my favorite covers by them and I thought the special effects were REALLY cool during TD!! 

It was a very well made movie, and even if you arent a fan, I can guarantee that you will be after you see it.

I cried throughout the entire movie...so much so that I fogged up my glasses and couldnt see.

I really want everyone to see this movie, not just because I love them, but because it was just sooo crazy to see the behind the scenes, and to see what theses boys go through on a daily basis just gives  you such a new-found respect for them.

No one should walk out of that movie saying it was bad, or horrible, because it was far from it.

and congrats boys on such an amazing movie, and bringing all the fans with you on this journey.

Louis, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Harry.... Im speechless.




(p.s. they are shirtless a lot--and I'm not complaining)

The Summer Set Concert

Im a fairly new fan of The Summer Set, but after tonight, I'm gonna be crazy obsessed for awhile!!!

Go Radio, who never heard of before today, and We Are The In Crowd, who I've heard a couple times, were the two opening acts! I actually really enjoyed both those two groups, and my friend Tori and I are currently obsessed with Cameron the guitarist for WATIC!! We also thought it was really cool how Taylor, lead singer, waved and acknowledged us!!

Now on to the main band........THE SUMMER SET!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Sure, maybe I didnt know all the songs, but I really enjoyed it!We got a little sneek preview of some of the new songs that will be on their new album dropping on MARCH 12th!! I REALLY ENJOYED THOSE NEW SONGS!!

People even jumped on stage and crowd surfed..... I thought it was weird and didn't fully understand it but hey, it was interesting! Brian was very scared/confused girl got on stage.... and his far was priceless!!!!!!

After the show, I was fortunate enough to meet a few of the band members!! Before anyone came out to meet the band members, Brian Dales the lead singer waved at me while talking to a friend, and hiding from the crowds of fans. John, guitarist, was super nice and interested in my site, and had conversations with all the fans waiting by the tour bus! I also got to meet Josh, guitarist, and he was really cool, and people kept needing sharpies or something to write with, and so I'd help him out every time! And we are now Brother and Sister... (because I said I was like "His girl" because I've been helping him out, and he said he wanted a sister, and I said  wanted a brother.....so I'm just gonna say we are brother and sister!)

I was hoping to get Brian's autograph, but he never came out!

HONESTLY, GO CHECK OUT EACH OF THOSE BANDS, TRULY AMAZING!

5/5 GLASSES!!

Ed Sheeran Concert

Wednesday February 13,2013 was the best night of my life. I waiting in line for the Ed Sheeran concert since 6:45 am. And due to a conflict with some people in line, me and the group of super nice girls in front of me, we were let in early!! friends tori, allysha, katelyn and i got front!! His concert started at 6/630, Foy Vance and Rizzle Kicks opened up for him! I suggest everyone to go check out and buy their music!!! Both acts were amazingly good!!! When Ed came on it was magical!!! There literally aren't words to describe the feeling we felt during his concert! He had songs where he told us to yell the lyrics out and there were other songs where he told us to be completely quite. But of corse there was this one girl who had to ruin it for the entire crowd and yelled something while we were all being silent, and she pissed Ed off, and he didn't finish the song and moved on to sing Small Bump. Also during Wayfairing Stranger , he sung without a mic! It was breathtaking!

He had a 15+minute encore, where he song You Need Me, I Don't Need You with some free style and parts of Thrift Shop in there!!!

This concert will also be in the Tour Diaries on his YouTube channel!! LOOK OUT FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS IN THE FRONT ROW!!

I want to relive that night everyday if I could! And the post concert depression (PCD) is HORRIBLE!!!

9/5 glasses


Here are some of the good pictures i took! (the lighting was horrible for focusing on iPhones)
