"Don’t give up it’s not the end
You’ll get back on your feet again
Forgiveness can be given when you think it can't
Because with every passing second comes a second chance."

"Take a good look at yourself and know
You’ve got yourself a ways to go
But difficult is not impossible you can
Take back all the lost control
Take a good look at yourself and see
That you’ll emerge eventually
As long as your heart’s not too far gone
From the only thing that can save you from yourself"

A week ago! (wow a week already!) which was last Tuesday The 27th of November at this time I would probably being standing in a crowd watching Relient k just get off the stage, or waiting for Switchfoot to get on stage at the Appetite for Construction Tour! which is Relient k with Switchfoot and their opening band was a new band called Ruth, they were actually really good. This was a really cool tour A dollar from every ticket went to this organization called habitat for humanity and what the organization that helps out with rebuilding houses and stuff like that after earth-quakes, fires ect.. Relient k and Switchfoot did more then just donate 1 dollar from ever ticket sold, they also gave a song. Matthew Thiessen (lead singer of Relient k) and Jon Foreman (lead singer of Switchfoot) wrote a song together in the summer called "Rebuild" with habitat for humanity in mind, but this song become much much more to them afterwards. Hours later Relient k's Tour Bus Burnt down into Flames losing all their expensive Macbook pros ect. Matthew Thiessen also lost over 100 songs he was working on, or not yet finished. After that, Swicthfoot's home town in San Diego was also up in flames! from the huge California fire's. This song had even more meaning to both bands! It is really an amazing song! I love the song! and it has been on my heart. Rebuild song download You can go download it I recommend you do. Rebuild Live video! :D So far Both Bands together from only the tickets they have donated over 100,000 dollars! and the tour is not even over yet. I just think it's awesome to hear all that!

Now that I have told you about the Tour I will tell you how the concert went.
Well 1st off the concert was amazing! it started off with a new band called Ruth they are pretty good. then Relient k. (the band I went for and was waiting to see for the 2nd time.) Then the night ended with Swicthfoot, they were pretty good, I was not there for them, lol I was there for Relient k because most of you know they are my favorite band. But in my opinion Relient k was the best of the night! Swicthfoot was good, but Both Bands really good in different ways. Relient k preformed a Chirstmas song from their new Christmas album called "Let it snow baby... Let it Reindeer" they did the song "Sleigh Ride" it was probably the best version of that song ever made! but they did not just play that song! there also was snow coming down from the ceiling! during the song playing! it was amazing! defiantly a good show! Later, when Swicthfoot came on Jon Foreman came somewhat into the crowd of people it was pretty cool! I must say one of the best song's Swicthfoot played that night had to have been "The Shadow Proves the Sunshine" I really really love that song right now, and for me saying that! it must be good, I am not a very big Switchfoot fan. lol Then after the Concert I met the Bass Player of Relient k! it was awesome! I was hoping to Meet Matt Thiessen my Favorite Musician! He is really awesome and very talented! so anyways.. moving on. Yep I met the Bass player of Relient k John Warne! he is really cool and really nice! at least I met someone from my favorite band! I have a picture!
