June 28, 2011 - Current
At the tender age of 10 when I was blessed enough to have NSYNC standing directly in front of me on March 23, 1999 my eyes were bursting with a waterfall of tears as I tried to keep myself from fainting; I fell in love with live music that day and still feel the same love today. I've never been able to play an instrument or sing but I've always had this deep appreciation for people that do.
I decided to create a goal for myself when I was 23 to witness 125 bands in concert before I turned 25... However, I've listed below about 20 bands I saw prior to being 23. I met my goal on July 18, 2013 (2 days before my 25th birthday). I would love to hit 225 by 27, we'll see if that happens ;)
