February 23, 2008 - Cleveland, OH - VAST, White Light Riot
Venue: Beachland Ballroom?
I remember almost nothing about this show.
I knew it would happen once or twice. I knew there would be a show or two where I wouldn't be able to recall any major details.
My girlfriend at the time, Megan, liked VAST and like a handful of other concerts I attended from 2006 to 2008, I only went because she was a fan.
Not being familiar with VAST's music, before or after makes it extra hard.
I think this was the show in which we took one of Megan's friends up to the show with us. He was this big dude that I never knew very well and he got drunk at the show. On the way home he talked about how the entire mid-west is on a tectonic plate and that, at any moment, we could all blow up. I might be mixing this memory up with a time that we went to Annabelle's in Akron with the same guy.
I still think about the tectonic plate thing from time to time.
The opening band, White Light Riot, set up and played their set from the middle of the floor I think, but I could be mixing this show with another one.
I don't remember what VAST sounded like. I have no recollection of what they looked like. All I know is that, 10 years ago, I was there. I know this because I was keeping my list of concerts at the time.
I can't even find any evidence that this show took place. There is absolutely nothing about it on the internet. I was thinking about watching some videos and reminding myself about what VAST was like, but I am just going to leave it a mystery. There's enough shit in my head already.
