Chicago, what a wonderful town
So, we just finished playing two sold out shows at Chicago's House Of Blues. The first night went great. We played a great show, the crowd loved it, and we all felt great on stage. Went out that night to Rockit Bar and Grill. We LOVE that place, it's our unofficial base of operations when we're in Chicago. We get taken care of very well, and the crowd is always great. From there, we went to Le Passage.
The next day we did a "sound check party" for some contest winners. Played a few songs, then ate dinner at the House Of Blues restaurant. We were there without Ryan, and fans were still coming up to us asking for pictures and autographs. Whoah!
So, the show that night was kind of messed up. The whole crowd was kind of crazy, swaying back and forth, almost like a mosh pit. Little girls were getting crushed, getting carried out of the crowd by security, passing out, crying, all these wierd things that we've never seen before. It was pretty scary, and it definitely affected our performances. We were all a little spooked, you want everyone to have a good time, not get hurt.
Day off today, and going to be in Philly tomorrow.

I was at both shows and it was definitely OC the 2nd night. I was down on the floor up until about echo park, and then i just couldnt handle the crowd anymore. so i left and went to the back where i could actually breathe. I could tell you were way scared by the look on your face when the first girl came out. They even actually kicked some people out before the show for fighting over pushing. Thats the main reason i HATE GA shows. especially at the HOB, cause things like that happen there all the time. Tell Ryan next tiem he needs to make his show at the HOB 18+ or even 21+, then you guys wont have to worry about little girls getting smashed and you wont have to worry about stupid ass curfew either.
i hope that you dont have to worry about this at any of the other shows, cuz i definitely saw how it affected the performance.

yea i was defentially the second girl that had to be pulled out of the crowd. I was right in front and it was pretty scary cause i thought i was gonna pass out. I missed the whole concert except for the first ten minutes of ryan. People just went crazy.
hopefully next time will be better. Sorry to scare everyone lol.

I don't think his shows should be over 18 because I know a lot of people who are BIG ryan and his band fans and they are not over 18. That would suck for them because they wouldn't be able to go. It's called go to a better place where they can keep a better eye on things before they get out of hand. BUT I HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE CONCERT IN CHI! BEST EVER
