SAM TSUI CONCERT

So I went to a Sam Tsui concert yesterday! Wellllll, technically, it was Alex Goot's, but I went for Sam. Anyway, it was a long line (we got there before doors opened) and it was raining AND really sunny at the same time. But we got in there and we actually had dinner there while King the Kid played (we didn't particularly want to listen to them, just cause we didn't really know who they are). We listened to Luke Conard and Landon Austin, who were good, as well. I was just too busy thinking about Sam being under the same roof as me! Finally it was Sam's turn, and when he came out, I was completely freaking out. He was SO pumped and energetic!! He looked so cute, jumping and dancing around the stage the entire time. He sang "Make it Up" as his intro, then also sang "Shadow," "Just a Dream," other songs from his album... "Don't Want an Ending" was special because he wanted to do it acoustically (a tradition that formed when he was on his first show and the electricity went out or something, but he wanted to continue anyway, so they just did it without any electricity). He sang "Wherever You Are," but at that point Zoe, Alexandra, and I had left to go to the merchandise table to wait for him. I was second in line, and he came out and sold stuff to the people in front of me... Then he got to me and he looked so happy and he shook my hand and said, "Hi, I'm Sam, thank you sooooooo much for coming out tonight!! Hey, I really like your shirt, going old school there!" (My shirt said "I <3 Sam & Kurt".) I got a poster and had him sign it, and I also had him sign this little book thing where each singer got their own page with a picture of them, their name, and a place for them to sign. Oh, yeah -- Kurt wasn't there. >:( He's in LA filming a video. *sigh* Oh, well, Sam was enough! He told me to come find him out front after the concert, so I did, and I was about to get a picture with him, but I went up at the same time as a little girl, so I let her go first, and he looked at me and said, "I'm doing you next, okay?" So it was my turn and I gave him a hug (I don't think anyone else did) and I had him take a selfie with me! I also asked him why he named his cat Phoebe. I just really wanted to know. :P He spent so long explaining... in short, it's because he was a Greek major at Yale and Phoebe is a Greek goddess or something, and his roommate at the time liked the name cause it was a character in 'Friends,' so it was something that both of them could agree on. Honestly, I think he remembered me the second time. :P I have pictures of him explaining to me.... Anyways, it was great and we took pictures and yeah. :)
