So, it was my sister's 18th birthday on Thursday and to celebrate we drove to Phoenix to see a great, little indie band called The Temper Trap (my sister and I have the exact same taste in music).

Anyways, they're not a hugely radio popular band, but they have their fan-base and the club they were playing at was called The Clubhouse. It was a small place, about the size of Club Congress, I'd say, which actually ended up being pretty cool, because we got to stand in the front row of the concert. We were right there. We could see them and they could see us. Anyways, the concert was amazing and the band was great, and before the the last song, "Science of Sleep," on their second set the lead singer said: "I'm going do something that I've only done once, back in Germany, and it ended up with my pants coming off - I'm gonna invite the audience to come on stage and dance with us." And I was in the front row, so I did. Let me just tell you, it was fucking amazing. I got to dance and rock out on stage with The Temper Trap! That's all I've ever wanted! It was amazing. There were like 20 of us from the crowd and we were all just dancing around the band as they rocked out. We could see everyone else in the audience, we were literally right next to the music, and the band. I was dancing next to the bass player, a really cool guy, and here's the best part, he let me press on his distortion pedal for his bass! I GOT TO FUCKING PRESS THE DISTORTION PEDAL FOR THE BASS PLAYER IN THE TEMPER TRAP! I GOT TO FUCKING ROCK OUT ON STAGE WITH THE TEMPER TRAP! How many other people can say they did that? It was amazing!!! I'm so thankful that it was such a small club and I got to stand in the front row and it was my sister's 18th birthday. Never have I been more proud of her. I had the time of my life. It was incredible. So, that's it, all I wanted to say. Thank you. I don't know if I'll ever get to do that again. Thank god for memories.
