After the concert, i bought an rja charity shirt, just a $30 shirt that part of the proceeds go their Guardian Angel charity foundation. I also got another tmp shirt that fits me better. I got a blue tmp shirt for my friend, and i got it signed for her by all the band members.
TMP is now sponsored by Denny's, so its required that after a concert every two weeks or so they have to go to Denny's and invite the audience (barely anyone comes, tho) So after the concert we went to the Denny's afterparty. TMP was there, and the band that opened for them called The Becoming was there, and 20 or so random fans came too, along with my family and i. So that was fun, the bass player from The Becoming ate my french toast cuz i didn't want all of it, we had dinner before we went to the concert. The manager played TMP's cd. A little bit of food was thrown and there was a lot of screaming including a couple of uses of the F word, but to my surprise, we didn't get kicked out lol. When everybody was about to go, i got my friend's shirt signed, and we all piled into a huge booth for a picture. This is like 30 people, mind you, so it was difficult. I ended up half-standing-half-crouching on the seat. A waitress took the picture standing on a chair. The whole night was very fun!!!
Before the concert, we visited two of my aunts, a long lost cousin, and all of their "significant others." It was freezing the whole time. And i think that actually about covers the concert. It doesn't really cover the family visits, but ill blog about those later.
