One thing I really like about my boyfriend is his taste in music. I've always had a pretty open mind for music and will generally listen to anything at least once. My boyfriend is a rocker and over the past few years has introduced me to many rock bands of which I have become a huge fan. Case in point: Five Finger Death Punch. I friggin' love these guys! On October 23rd, Kansas City was lucky enough to have 5FDP in town to headline the annual Freaker's Ball (a rock concert/costume contest). Along with 5FDP were also bands like 10 Years, Drowning Pool and Sevendust. All of these bands pretty much rock, at least in my book, so I was quick to cop two tickets (the event sold out in about 10 hours). Patrick and I decided to go with a theme this year: 5FDP. He dressed up as their "mascot," if you will, and I was his hottie. Overall, the costumes were a HUGE success and we felt like instant celebrities. We were in tons of pictures and I'm sure are all over random Facebook pages everywhere. My costume was hot enough to earn me a spot in the Top 10 for the costume contest although I wasn't a winner. I did suffer from a near panic attack when I realized that I had to parade across stage in front of nearly 4000 fans. Whoa! Now that was something I've never experienced before! It was fun and my 60 seconds of fame got me lots of "Congratulations" and "we voted for you" and even a free bottle of water to boot. After the show, we turned into groupies and hung out near the tour bus for awhile. We did get to meet Ivan Moody (lead singer, 5FDP), get some autographs (I had him sign my costume :) and a picture. When he asked Patrick if "this was your lady" and his response was an emphatic YES, Ivan responded with "You're a lucky man." Aw thanks Ivan! Patrick thinks so too... :) I can't wait for next year and you better believe I'll be coming up with an awesome costume. I've got a reputation to live up to now! Enjoy the pics!
