Ok ok, so now were in the taxi outside the arena, we got out and to our surprise, there was only about 100-130 people infrotn of us, we got straight into the queue to an amazing start expecting close to front row standing. And well, this queue was for one hour... so we had to find ways to amuse ourself and stop ourselves from freezing, a lot of this was the most random things you coudl think of, so random i forget, too my devistation, as we got to the queue i found i had dropped my camera somewere.... not nice at all, and all of a sudden knew were it would be, back in the taxi. So after a short angry moment, all was good again, i remembered i was getting a digital souvenier pack :)
We got into the arena at about 6.35 tight on time, searched a little and my god, the place was huge! ran stright down the stairs into a small queue of other excited fans wilst we handed our tickets in to go into the standing area, there was SO MUCH SPACE and even more to our surprise, front row :D not literally, but 3rd/4th kinda row from THE FRONT. My first concert and i was there, right up the front, couldn't have been any better really could it? So now another hour of waiting came, so they took some random photo's of biffy clyro's set up and stuff, and of each other. But for some reason, dave couldn't resist getting some sort of emo picture, one being the classic, everyone poke your foot in, were not emo's he just wanted to do it for some reason, so meh, we did it.
BOOM, Biffy came on and the lights went down, there were all right i guess, though i saw about 2 people in the entire standing move for them... dave liked them, i didn't really, though thier last song was good. No idea what it was called, was too busy raging up more and more excitement. So after they left, the LP stage set up started. Wow, looked cool, we could see under the curtain fro a while whilst they set it up then it lowered more so we couldn't :'(. But after about 40 minutes of waiting, the lights dimmed again, and the crowd went WILD. hands in the air, screaming and shouting, echoeing right across the arena. Then, the man himself, Brad started the No More Sorrow/Wake Intro with his awesome guitar :) (yes i love his guitar, and mikes blue one with skulls for that matter) BOOM, the curtains dropped and there we all went, jumping and bouncing hands in the air, crisp guitar sounds and chesters awesome voice began.
I was a little nervous at first not being so excited as everyone else, and being squashed didn't help, but after the starting the crowd let back a bit so we could all breathe up front :P Dave had a panic attacked and demanded he needed to get out, so the securty dragged him out lol, were he got stuck again because the crowd pushed forward nad his legs got trapped :P was funny, but not funny at the smae time if you get me. So now it was me, and me alone, surrounded by a load of other fanatics, few songs in sharpey appeared again, back with me we jumped and sung until my voice was no more, really, i had no voice at the point of what iv'e done, just ahd to mimic, then after a 1 song rest, it was back for a final jump with Faint, Iv'e never seen such a crowd during Faint, In the end, Bleed it out and What iv'e done. We and the seated crowd were going crazy.... then chester explained we were probably one of thier best crowds which only made us go even crazier, then mike explained he wanted us to go crazy for the next song, there is was, In The End, Soon as the drums kicked, in, EVERYONE jumped up and down in perfect rythem and sung along to this fantastic and one of my favorite songs. The lights up at the top of the arena were shaking like crazy, could faintly hear the wooden boards under us echoeing as we pounded them with our feet. The louder they played, the louder we jumped and sung back :P was amazing, best thing iv'e ever done in my life. During blled it out, the song stopped and Rob broke into the best Drum Solo iv'e ever heard, and the first iv'e seen from Linkin Park :P Just too add to my evening huh? xD
The encore, well, it was definetly a planned encore, which was only a tiny bit disappointing. We knew it was planned, because they hadn't played what iv'e done, which was obvious they were because a tech brought mike's keyboard on stage after they left :P So here we were, shouting "Linkin park, linkin park, linkin park" and stamping our feet, awaiting thier return. Then, out of no were, a pre-intro of the What ive done clock sound started, and then Mike and Hahn appeared, mike started the keyboard rythem and then the rest of the band appeared, freshened up too :D But to add to this, the piano version of Pushing me was played, a chance for me to hear chesters awesome vocal ability in its rawest form, the crowd singing along, hands slowly waving in the air, lighters, mobile phones, and any other source of light we had was asked to be brought out :) Truely amazing, love his voice so much.
A 2nd encore, (of course) came, as we applauded them back into the stage after another freshen up :P. Were they made everyone of us get up, i had a quick look around me, and everyone on standing and seated were clapping, just made me smile all around :P. Then i noticed Mike's smile (not for the first time), made us all feel part of them, Smiling because we were making him so happy :D, then One Stop Closer began and there we all went, tired and weak but still had all the power, jumping and screaming and shouting, lights shaking, the lot, singing along like there was no tommorrow. Then, possibly the best song to end with, FAINT. Crowd overtaking chester :P The upbeat start was enough to send the crowd into inferno, the local most pit next to us got wild, and everyone squashed up a bit more, and then the drummed kicked in again XD EVERYONE jumping as high as they can, mike and chester leaning out to us, (noting i got some eye contact from Mike and Brad :D:D, not best thing but meh, none of them came down to the crowd so i cant complain) my hamstring was now dead, feet wrecked, ribs pounded, head smacked by others behind me :P but we didnt care, not one of us, it didnt matter anymore, everyone was in some sort of trance with faint, literally like there was no tommorow. I really can't put words to how this was... speechless... sorry but i just can't, amazing, great, best thing ive ever done, just didn't put it in place at that moment, and still doesn't now. So with that, i say thanks for reading, and i hope you enjoyed it.

Today was daves meal, after nearly a month of arranging it, it finally came together :P. We all went to The Yacht Inn near the Honda and Mini sales garages on the welsh road. Everyone ordered and got the drinks in, well, thats what we thought. The meals came and well, mine was last, but nearly 10 minutes later it still wasn’t there. Turns out i forgot to order it :| So after ordering it i got to eat it, on my own wilst everyone took a peek ;P But it all came good, was VERY well worth it, and dam the desserts were heavenly, Dave and Mowens had a chocolate fudge sunday and dam it looked so nice, but so sickly. Good to say i didn’t fart or kill anyone on the way home either. Which everyone can always appreciate :).
I still got no watermelon though. :|
