Default I Was There!

Major sporting events, music festivals or events, life-changing moments (ie. in NYC during 9/11), etc.

I was at SARS stock in Toronto where there was about 500,000 people. That's about it.

I Protested at WTO in Seattle and saw the riots first hand.

Many of you will not know the relevance of this, well maybe no one except for Jackhammer, but I was a the John Brown's Body show where back-up singer Elliot Martin first took over "lead" singer Kevin Kinsellas role, as kinsella was having throat/vocal problems. Kinsella eventually left the band.

The first time a Gym Class Heroes song played on the radio, Travis McCoy was sitting on my couch next to me freaking the **** out..

I was also there! I was also at Live 8, which kind of sucked.

Payne Stewart's plane (& a bunch of fighter jets) buzzed my school before crashing into a classmates field.
