So imagine:

You join a message board in your first weeks of high school because you love a band.

Over the next 4 years you get to know the other members pretty darn well and basically “grow up” with them.

Imagine a HUGE band that everybody loves gets back together and announces for ONE day of their reunion tour, which just so happens to be the first day, that they will take said favorite band on tour. 

Only weeks after your graduation, what do you do? GO WITH THE BOARDIES TO VEGAS TO SEE MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK AND BLINK 182 ROCK IT DOWN.

I got an “I’ll think about it” from Mom. That’s not a no.
Why is it that at 18, I am compelled to wait for permission? Oh yeah, because they pay for my car and education.
