     On October 22nd, 2011, I went to Sayreville, New Jersey to the Starland Ballroom for the Never Shout Never Concert. There, I saw Fake Problems, Carter Hulsey, A Rocket to the Moon, The Plain White T's and of course, Never Shout Never. I have been waiting for that day since August!
     I got in line for the concert at 11:00 a.m. I got to talk to Nick from A Rocket to the Moon because we were all in front of their tour bus. At 2:45, the people with VIP Passes got to go in and watch Never Shout Never do a Soundcheck. It also included a Meet & Greet but he only hugged a few people and left. After that, we had to go back out of the building and get into a VIP line. While we were waiting, we were singing, talking with people and eating pizza. At 5:00, it was time to make our way back in.

     Once we got into the building, they checked out tickets and VIP passes. Then we made our way near the stage. I got to be in the front row! After about an hour of waiting, Carter Hulsey came out and sang some songs. Then Fake Problems, A Rocket to the Moon, the Plain White T's and finally, Never Shout Never! He sang a whole bunch of songs, touched some fans hands, threw out his water bottle and just had a lot of fun!
     At 11:00p.m, the show was over. Thanks to the security guard, I had Eric's ( from A Rocket to the Moon) water bottle, their setlist, and the Plain White T's guitar pick. I waited in line and bought a t-shirt and a CD from Fake Problems. I met up with my friends from NJ that I met at my first NSN concert and gave them a hug. I had gotten my signed poster from the band and left to go to my hotel. It was a great way to end the perfect day!
