September 3, 20061st Journal! [The Summer Obsession]Yippeeee! I'm finally getting to actually go to all of The Summer Obsession's home shows, and more. I saw them for the first time about a week or so after I found them on MySpace on April 17th, 2005. And had to wait over 7 months for them to record the album over in California. They actually recorded from July to September. I saw them again on January 22nd, 2006 in Jacksonville @ The Seawalk Hotel with Stole Your Woman and Shadow Agency. And Chris Wilson was in the band by that time, but I only met Lucien in person at that show. Then I saw them on May 28th at Jack Rabbits with Together At Last, Cartel adn supposed to be Hit The Lights, but they couldn't make it. I finally met Fin(in person, after waiting 14 months), and met Christ, and saw Lucien again. And I had to leave before I met Chris. In June, I wanted to go to Warped Tour in Jacksonville, but I was out of town for it, So I came back on the 24th, and left the airport in Orlando, adn headed down to Miaimi, and went to Warped the next day, and their performance along with all the others after 4pm, were canceled. But before I left I made sure I went to go find Chris, adn I went to their tent, and I didn't see any of them, until I heard a familiar voice, adn it just so happened to be Chris, and I walked up to him,a dn he knew who I was. And I was supposed to be going to Orlando the next day to see them at Warped too, but when I told Chris I'd see him tomorrow, he told me that they weren't playing so, I didn't end up seeing them play any that weekend. I knew it was going to be the end of August- Early September until they would be coming back to Jacksonville, but a week later they announced the date, and it was August 23rd. [So this next part isn't confusing: I got to see Red Jumpsuit play in Miami, but on my way to Orlando, we got lost,adn didn;t make it on time, so I missed their performance] So I started school back on the 21st, so I knew I wouldn;t be able to go to the out of town shows the 2 days after the Jax show, and my plans of going to 4 other warped shows out of state on 8/10 to see Red Jumpsuit were ruined, I tried to see if I could get to any of their other shows before the 21st. ANd they had 2 show in upsate NY, and TSO and a couple within 2 hours of NYC, I tried to go see both of them, but I ended up only going to NYC for 2 and a half days(not even). I saw TSO play at the Knitting Factory on the 16th. And I got to see them play the hometown show on the 23rd, and I got teh album a week before it came out, adn before anyone else. So that made up for any show, or anything, I had missed in the past. And I definitely get to see them on November 17th with Cartel and Sugarcult!
