Friend Mr. Ao decided to join Sterling and Earl on this outing to try and meet Alien Ant Farm once again. We were not just autograph collectors on this occasion, but also concertgoers. Since the last time we met AAF we became big fans of theirs and decided to give their show a try.

       We arrived and found out from fellow collector Newt that AAF were in sound check. We didn't really know who the Apex Theory was before the concert so we didn't care about getting their autographs before hand and instead only met the guys of Alien Ant Farm again.

       Now it was time to see the concert. The concert was very good if you ask Earl, but it was a little ruff with some mosh pits and Sterling and Mr. Ao almost got sucked up a few times. One lady (who was really big) actually tried to trip Earl during the show so she could take over his closer spot, yikes. She would also try to bump us out of our spots, an interesting individual to watch.

       Sterling didn't have as fun of a time because the bassist for The Apex Theory, David Hakopyan, hocked a lugee on him during their performance; yeah you heard that right. It was really sick and has caused Sterling to have a little hostility for The Apex Theory, would you blame him? "It was the sickest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life," Sterling says jokingly. "Lets see how you would like the biggest lugee to hit your face during a show and try to enjoy the rest of the concert." Alien Ant Farm and Apex Theory did put on a great show though and we're glad we got to see them live.

       After the concert we wanted to see if we could actually get some pictures with AAF and for them to sign our CD (earlier we got the CD jacket signed). As we were waiting we saw many interesting things, such as the lead singer of Dislocated Styles being so wasted that he peed on the side of the building right out in clear view of the city streets. Earl also wanted to get The Apex Theory's autograph because the lead singer had said on stage for people to come by after the show and meet him.

       It just so happened that we spotted the lead singer and drummer signing autographs at their bus, so Earl trotted on over to get their autographs. Andy Khachaturian, The lead singer, was a nice guy and was willing to sign and pose for a picture as well. The same went for his fellow band mate, drummer Sammy J. Watson. Sterling was still holding his grudge with this band so he didn't want their autographs. Earl thanked them and then went to AAF bus to see if we could have any more success with them.
