    2007 Warped Tour, the summer that I turned 15. I told my parents that I was going with friends (which was true) and someone's parent (not exactly true) but I really wanted to go. My step dad drove me and my friend and picked us up anyways lol.

    I've been to more than I could remember/count since then, but that was the first!

    I can't remember if it was Boyz II Men or George Strait...both were in the 5th grade, both at the same place, and both...WITH MY MOM. Yeah, my mom went to Boyz II Men with me, NO BIG DEAL.

    I'm totally jealous!! I wanted to see Boyz II Men when I was younger, but my parents never took me to concerts. I always swore I would take me kids if they wanted to go. Of course that was before I became broke as a joke, LOL!

    First concert was with my parents to see a "comedy" pop group called the Barron Knights.

    First as a teenager going out on my own was Blur.

    I have seen many others since, favourites have been Alice Cooper, The Adicts, The Cramps, The Damned, MDC and Pulp.

    First concert- New Kids on the Block opening for Tiffany at Lake Compounce, CT. I remember my parents sitting on the lawn while I danced to the music. I had a great time. Oh, I was only 9-10 years old at the time.

    Last concert- Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) at Toad's Place, December 2010, in New Haven, CT. Want to see him again!

    1988. AC/DC. My mom took me when I was 3. Obviously, I don't remember it, but I know where I got my rock and roll roots from!

    Def Leppard.

    I know, I'm not old enough for it to be that. But I am so glad I don't have to say it was the Spice Girls or The Backstreet Boys. I thank my dad for that. My second concert was Godsmack & Bush. I was way more excited for that one.
