Springsteen - Metlife Stadium 2012 
- I didn't make the pit, but I was about 5 rows from the back from it
Muse - Centennial Olympic Park April 2013
- about 40 rows back from the stage
The Killers - Alpharetta 2013
- AMAZING. My 3rd favorite concert ever. Front row on Dave's side.
Music Midtown 2013
- Better than my experience in 2011. Got to see Arctic Monkeys, Weezer, Queens of the Stone Age, The Neighbourhood, and Imagine Dragons. Left during RHCP
Paramore -  Duluth 2013
- AMAZING. First time seeing my 2nd favorite band. Traded my seat in for a GA ticket. Ended up 6 rows back on Jeremy's Side
PARAHOY!
- the greatest weekend of my life. About 7 rows back from Taylor the first show and front row on Taylor's side for the second show. Got to see more amazing bands like Tegan and Sara, mewithoutyou, Bad Rabbits, Shiny Toy Guns and the comedic stylings of Doug Benson

I have a few more set for this year
twenty one pilots 
- first show at the Tabernacle. 5 DAYS!!!!
Springsteen 
- a little disappointed with lawn seats at an amphitheater 
Arcade Fire 
- have lawn seats at the same amphitheater, but don't care as much about being as far back 
Monumentour (Paramore and Fall Out Boy)
- Have a lawn seat for now, but gonna give it to my dad and buy a GA ticket on stubhub. I can't be far back for this one!

And here are some albums I'm looking forward to
Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, COLDPLAY!!!!!!, Damon Albarn. I'm probably forgetting some but oh well. 

The only album that has a chance of being a top ten of this year so far is Supermodel by Foster the People. The four albums listed above are pretty much guaranteed top 10 based on past work. 

That's it for right now, probably gonna post my review of a recent concert(s).
