camera obscura

Come on, I know I'm not the only one...

I absolutely adore TBS. I've loved them since 2002 and was depressed they were on the verge of breaking up but I love the addition of Fred Mascherino and Matt Rubano, I think both were smart choices. TBS is super awesome live. The last time I saw them was Oct. 9, and they were absolutely amazing.

Pictures from the Oct. 9 show:

I've been a huge fan since 2002, as well. And I was really upset over John and Shaun leaving, but I'm over it now because I really like the new TBS AND now I get Straylight Run, too. The best of both worlds.

I saw TBS at Skate and Surf in April (both their acoustic and headlining sets), a few times at Warped Tour this summer, and a few times on the recent headlining tour with Fall Out Boy and Matchbook Romance.

My favorite picture of Fred ever...





P.S. Copeland is amazing. <3

That's an awesome picture of Fred.

Straylight Run, from what I've heard (Exisitentialism on Prom Night) is great. That's my favorite song.

I like your avatar, your signature and the fact that you listen to Copeland! I love them<3

i love TBS.
i was supposed to see them in November but when my mom finally let me go, all the tickets were gone

bluskadu

i have love for taking back sunday!
Your Own Disaster is one of my fave songs

All the shows on the TBS headlining tour that I went to were sold out, but I got in early and for free because Fall Out Boy is love. And Pete from FOB rocks because he introduced me to Adam.

Straylight's album is one of my favorites of the year. If you don't have it, get it. John is a lyrical genius.

I saw Copeland this summer. They were so good live. I got video of "Brightest" that turned out really good since I was right up front. The new album is going to great.

Oh man, Copeland was supposed to come here last month, Nov. 30 but it was a 19+ show so I couldn't go. They ended up stuck in Oregon though because their van broke down! hahah. I was glad I got their covers CD today and it's sooooo good. It's the best 5-song CD ever

Anyways, yay other TBS lovers! sweetvlady that's too bad because they are absolutely great live! Whenever I think about that night I saw them, it always brings a smile to my face. Jenn23 that's awesome Pete introduced you to Adam! I was waiting for anyone from the bands (TBS, FOB, MBR) to come out after the show but no luck. (I did meet Ryan from MBR but that's another story). My friend and I went to Burger King and there was Eddie right in front of us. haha. He was super nice; he signed my ticket and took a picture with us

Oh man. That is the cutest picture ever. That is all.

Ohhh. I love Taking Back Sunday.
That's all I'm going to say at the moment.
Oh, and love the pictures and love, love, love Straylight Run.

Straylight Run's live cover of Brand New's "Play Crack the Sky" with Jesse Lacey is the most beautiful song ever. I've had it on repeat all day.

I know FOB and MBR pretty well, so my friend and I got to hang out on their bus at the shows we went to. "Martini Night" after the Sauget, IL show was way too much fun, hehe. I met Fred and Eddie, too. They were both really nice. They both spent some time on the FOB/MBR bus after a couple of the shows.

When we made Pete introduce us to Adam, our conversation with him ended up being mainly about winter coats, wtf? He gets really excited when he finds money in his pockets that he didn't know was there, haha. Then later that same night, Adam came on the bus to get some "paper" from Judas for "his friend"... and invited us along. I don't smoke (anything), so I had to politely decline.

I'm surprised you didn't meet any of the guys from FOB and MBR. They usually hang out for the longest time meeting fans at shows, especially Pete. Oh, and I have a love/hate relationship with Ryan from MBR. He can be such a moody bastard at times, lol.

P.S. I love Copeland's covers EP, too. So good.

Oh. I've never heard that. I can imagine it would be lovely.

Jenn23

I can send it to you through AIM if you want it.

a n d i

Just got back from the shops.
Oh, that'd be nice, if you could, Jenn

Yeah, when I first saw Ryan hanging out by the merch booth, he seemed moody but I asked him to sign my ticket anyways. But when he got outside and started smoking and talking to the fans and stuff he was nice.

I really wanted to meet Pete though. At the show he was all "who wants to hang out after the show and show us around Vancouver?!" I was like "Meeee!" hahha.

Damnit, I am so jealous of youuuu!! I am like half in-love with Adam Lazzara, okay not really but I adore him

Jenn23

I think Ryan has multiple personalities. I saw Matchbook Romance again a few weeks ago, and he was being super nice all night, so he's on my good side again. You should have met Aaron. He is so funny and nice. I love him to death.

I'm going to Chicago next week for the FOB Christmas tour shows. I can't wait to see them again. And The Academy Is... <3

I don't know why I was nervous to meet Adam. I could have easily met him at Skate and Surf. He was hanging around after their acoustic performance. And during Northstar, he was standing right by us and hanging around afterwards. I was just sort of intimidated by him for some reason. That's why we made Pete introduce us to him, lol. He was super nice though, and even seemed a bit shy.
