Blog # 14: Theory of a Deadman

Theory of a Deadman is a Canadian rock band that was formed in 2001. They came to Wichita, Kansas to perform with Halestorm at the local Cotillion ballroom.
Theory of a Deadman played last because they were the better known group of the four bands playing. I am not sure who the opening two bands were, most likely an unknown local band. When my boyfriend and I arrived at the cotillion, we immediately started to search for our large group of friends that were also going to the concert. My friend Mikaela was there, a girl I used to work with at Club rodeo. Tanner, my boyfriend and I’s friends were there too; Christina, Bubs, Steve, Tiffany, Cole, Brittany, Brittany’s friend, Sean, and my cousin Austin. We had a quite large group to rock out with each other. While the guys went over to the bar to buy some beer to drink, us girls took many of pictures for future memories; that is very typical of us.
Before Halestorm played, the t95 Rock Squad Girls went on stage with the main DJ. I told my friend Christina that we should try and become rock squad girls, because these girls are nothing compared to us hotties! She laughed and totally agreed with me. She then told me she wanted to grab a couple of beers before Halestorm performed so I agreed to walk with her. We went to the bar and found out they don’t accept debit cards, how frustrating! We then walked around trying to find an ATM to get cash out for her. Of course the one we come across is “out of order.” Losing hope we almost gave up until the nice young rocker dude told us there was another ATM located at the entrance. We finally made it to the other ATM and got cash out for her to get beer. As I was walking around behind her, I noticed some very interesting people who came to this concert. I saw several little kids with their parents, which I thought was “odd” because it was a rock concert, not Miley Cyrus! I also found some thug type people. These are the type of people with black baggy pants and chains, and two sleeves of tattoos. I also realized to myself that I see these types of people at every single concert I attend. Other people I noticed were the “emo” group, which include guys wearing skinny jeans, funky shoes, and their black spiky hair covers their face. The last “type” of people I saw was the regular jock/pretty girls. They really don’t fit in at a concert. They stand out horribly when they wear their Hollister wardrobe and designer purses on their shoulders. My friend Christina and I would definitely fit in the “rocker girl” type. I have my tongue, nose, and navel pierced and has several tattoos. My hair looks like a typical rocker chick who is about to have a good time head banging to a concert. I try not to judge people by the way they look when they attend a concert because I know they are here for the same exact reason as I am, to have a great time rocking’ out!
After Halestorm played, Theory of a Deadman was next. I was about to get extremely pumped because they are one of my all time favorite bands. I have seen them in concert about 4 or 5 times. I knew this was going to be an outstanding performance from them, especially because this would be the first time I’ve seen them in Wichita!
The rest of the concert’s details will continue tomorrow.
