Americas Most Wanted


Now that Brad has given you a full rundown of the madness we experienced last wednesday I'll try to give you my perspective on the whole thing.
So exactly one week from today I was sitting in class impatiently waiting for the clock to hit 3pm so i could dip out of class early and hop in Mary's car. I had never been to Milwaukee before so i had no idea what was in store for me and i had no clue as to how long the drive would take but Mary and Cath assured me that we would make it in time. They were not lying, when Mary is behind the wheel anything is possible... some might say she drives a little reckless but if thats what it takes to get me to a Weezy concert on time I'm all for it!


Mary never letting the needle drop below 80mph

So the drive was an adventure in its self, i had the luxury of sitting bitch the entire way so after about 2 hours my ass was completely numb. Luckily Brad was playing DJ for the ride and we were only forced to listen to about 2 country songs. I brought a small candy stash but i blew my cover and soon enough everyone was eating my candy so after about 3 and a half hours of driving we made our one and only stop so we could pick up the essentials...

The stop.


My dinner in a bag.

After that the rest of the ride went pretty smoothly aside from Emily nearly peeing her pants.

When we finally arrived in the parking lot for the venue my stoke level had nearly reached an all time high so we quickly made our way to the entrance so we could claim our seats.


Now i was REAL stoked knowing that i was about to see Lil' Wayne in concert. So we got up to our seats in the "Lawn" section which was actually pretty sick for a 25 dollar ticket. Soulja Boy was on set doing his thing, which is actually a pretty good show (i saw him earlier this summer with Gucci Mane) he sang some club bangers and definitely got the crowd hyped.
His set looked a lil something like this.



Following Soulja Boy was Young Jeezy who i was real excited to see but there was about 20 minutes of downtime in-between the two sets so brad and i went off to go purchase some merch and buy the twins some 6 dollar miller light.
Jeezy came on with a pretty sweet intro claiming there was something like a 8 million dollar reward for bringing him in. He came out full force bringing up everyones stoke level playing some good hits for all of his albums. Like Brad said before it would have been cool if he had a longer set list but everything was made up for with the events that followed.

So in between Jeezy and Wayne the entire grass seating section (which included us) rushed through the security down into the lower seating area and somehow throughout all of the madness Brad an i Managed to get 3rd row seats right in the center. Here is a picture of the madness.


So now that we had some real good seats i was even more excited to see weezy, then the lights dimmed and some crazy wayne video came on all of the screens followed by weezy's entrance coming out singing Cannon with lights and all sorts of fireworks blazing.
heres wayne in his first outfit of the night.


after the first act i was too stoked to comprehend anything else so i think I'm just gonna post the rest of the pictures that i got that night with some captions. But overall it was by far the best concert i have ever attended. I expected it to be sweet but it was way more epic then i ever thought possible. Wayne played nonstop for over 2 hours and the set was ridiculous. I was also real impressed with the set list covering tha carter 1-3 with a handful of mixtape tracks. Definitely the highlight of my semester so far. So lets get to the pictures.


Wayne singing "Kush" after giving a shout-out to the smokers in the crowd "and I'm not talking cigarettes"



Mack Maine, Birdman, and Lil Wayne singing always strapped.


Lil Twist, real sick entrance


Y.M.E.



Lil Chuckee



Wayne singing the chorus section from "My Life" i think


The best rapper alive.





All of young money singing "Every Girl"


R.I.P. Tribute to end the night.


After the concert was over of-course we still had a 5 hour drive back to Marquette so that we could all make it to class on Thursday (except for Brad who slept through 2 alarms). I agreed to staying up the entire drive with Mary as long as i got to sit shotgun and control the Ipod. I'm pretty sure mary and i took a 5 hour energy shot at like 3a.m. so that kept us going for a little bit, Cath randomly got sick causing us to have to make a few puke pit stops. We finally rolled back into lovely Marquette around 6a.m.
TOTALLY WORTH IT!

have a good one.
