Can you Glow in the Dark??? I can... *note* these are my pics**

So, I'm about a week late posting this, but I wanted to wait... May 17th 2008, I attended the concert of a lifetime... I don't have to see another show again...SO SERIOUS... The Sesquehana Bank Center was packed with a Gillion Bazillion people there to see Lupe,N.E.R.D., Rihanna, and of course Kanye West... With the exception of Rihanna i was excited to see everyone... so, let me break it down from my point of view... on a scale from 1-10... Lupe Fiasco 7.0, N.E.R.D. 9.0, Rihanna 6.5, and Kanye was a 500986.9999!!! Lupe is one of my favorite artists EVER!!! but to me he was kinda boring until his last record...NERD impressed me and killed their whole entire set, and i don't own one NERD album... Rihanna was ok until her last three songs where she started to kill it!! good job Rihanna...by the way during the middle of NERD's set this guys came out of nowhere and started dancing to about two songs...that was a pleasant surprise... Now!! down to the main event!!! The only two things on stage during Ye's show was him and his spaceship Jane His show was like a play with a plot and climax and everything, yeah i know, CRAZY... He couldn't find any more inspiration on Earth, so he gets on his Spaceship and looks for inspiration in the universe... The cool thing is that every song went with the scene in this "PLAY"... he did a few songs like Champion and I wonder...then he crash lands on a planet, where he is the majority of the show...He finds an alien that tries to help him get off using the stars, the "FLASHING LIGHTS" then it doesn't work and he starts falling back down to the planet..."ALL FALLS DOWN"..the cool thing is everything on the screen is showing whats going on through the show, yadda yadda, he's stuck on the planet and thinks he'll never leave, so he has a conversation with God..."Jesus Walks". My favorite part is when "jane" tells him he's the only one strong enough to get off the planet...so he does "STRONGER" which helps the space ship get out of that planet's atmosphere and head back to earth..."HOMECOMING"....it was soooo bangin... and after being on stage alone for almost two hours...He finishes with Touch the sky when Lupe comes back out and the crowd explodes....PEOPLE...listen to me, this is the most EXCITING SHOW OF OUR TIME!!! until someone does better, you HAVE TO SEE THIS.. Michael Jackson of our time....quote me... follow the show... or you'll regret it!!!! Peace Yah
