A Synonym For Summer Is Concerts
Brad Heaton

Summer is the season that has the greatest potential for concerts. Many music festivals are becoming more and more popular, gaining a lot of attention. Why pay $20-$200 for 1-3 bands when you can pay $50-400 to have the possibility to see 10-50 bands? It seems like most of my favorite bands will be hitting the road this summer, and I would like to share with you some of the people I am excited to see perform.

First is the Emotional Roadshow by twenty one pilots. This band seems to never stop touring, as this will be their second US tour promoting their latest album, Blurryface which was released one year ago. With the duo wearing their famous ski masks on promotional posters, I wonder if Tyler Joseph, the lead singer, will dress in his Blurryface attire; that being black goop on the hands and neck to represent his bad alter-ego, and the complimenting black skinny jeans and red beanie.

I am sure the audience would love to see the continuation of the well known flower kimono with white-sunglasses, as the look became more popular as their new single "Ride" shows in the music video. Many are also wondering if there is new music, and if so, when they will start playing those live. I always enjoy when a band plays a new song, because the audience that usually chants along to every word will no longer have that power.

It's also great to see the energy given back to the audience in response to the new song; did it make people dance? Did the crowd jump around and start a mosh? Did they nod their head to the beat and sway their hands in the air? This type of live feedback gives an artist a lot of insight to how their listeners will enjoy their upcoming music. The possibilities of Emotional Roadshow are endless, but as the name implies, I'm sure it will be a wet and wild ride.

Another concert I am psyched to see perform this summer is the Andrew McMahon in The Wilderness, Panic! At The Disco and Weezer tour. The date I will be seeing this show is coincidently the same date of Warped Tour, so already I know I will be seeing more than three amazing bands play in one day.

I am excited to see the pianist Andrew McMahon play promoting his "solo" album. From what I gather, his stage energy is out of this world, because he pours his soul into every performance of every song. As a Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin fan, I was surprised by the new album as it is more pop in nature, but I love it just the same. Now, Panic! At The Disco is one of my favorite bands, and I can't wait to see Brendon Urie wearing skinny leather pants singing falsetto into his gold microphone while doing a back-flip. The energy Brendon Urie has on stage is the equivalent to a raging party.

I am excited to party with Brendon and the rest of the boys while they promote their new album Death Of A Bachelor. As for Weezer, I only know there famous hit singles, but one of my favorite producers just helped them put out a new album. From what I hear, it is a cool album with "California vibes", which makes me glad because it will end the concert day with relaxing vibes from the crazy musical energy of the two opening acts plus a whole day at Warped Tour.

What concerts and festivals are you excited to see this summer? Let me know at any of my social media sites! Have a fun and safe time!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
