7 years later

The boys got back together a while ago now, it's weird I never wrote about it but it's cause I was too busy. My best friend and I were at the Hollywood show in June 2013, a month after we graduated college at 21. FOB was actually back together before we graduated. Also saw them again last March 2016 with my fiance. Infinity on High is at the 10 year anniversary mark now. I can't believe it. I see myself at 13 listening to FUTCT. Blasting TTTYG and not really listening to it much till I was 17. That was when FAD was released. I remember how excited I was when I heard Brendon Urie's voice on 20 Dollar Nosebleed. I remember every FOB show, every festival. Being so young and experiencing that with my best friends. Meeting Andy when I was 16. Then after the hiatus, meeting Joe at one of The Damned Things shows. Meeting Patrick at his solo tours. Seeing Black Cards. My friends doing the same across the country. I was there...from the start, and FOB knows they're lucky to have a strong fan base. They got on MTV because of their fans. They became big by word of mouth. They changed, we all do. I forgot how it felt when they went on hiatus 7 years ago. Probably cause I mainly listen to other bands. But we survived, all of us. Long live the car crash hearts. I wore my clandestine fingerless gloves last week cause it was cold. Stay pretty Chicago. I still love that sweater.
