Lupo's with Shed, Relative Ash, and Downset

Well, I've known about factory 81 for a long time and i finnnally got to see them. i was so happy. my brother, his girlfriend, my friend holly, and my other friend jozie all went. we got tehre about 45 minutes early and there might have been 8 people in line. so we got in line. we waited outside in the freezing cold, no coats or anything. and when they finally let us in me and my friends RAN to the center..front stage so we were right up against the stage. i was amazed! before shed played some guy came by and taped the back of my shirt...on a video camara cuz it said "now im nothing" a NIN one... so i dont know where that will end up...and shed was okay. then relative ash played they were really good. and then factory 81 was setting up and i was like doing something fixing my camara or soemthing and my friend nudges me and points at nate and i was like !!!!! woah. so i yelled to him. he came over and kinda almost sat on the ground and i was like you guys are soo fucking aweso! me and he replyed with nooo nooo we are okay and i was like can i get a pic before u play so i took a picture of him and he was like heh waving at my camara. so they started playing and during cheese wheel nate was over and he bent down and let me scream your just a slave into the mic...i dont think i got anything out cuz i had already partially lost my voice. they finished there set then nate came over to where i was and bent down and gave my friend a hug and then he gave me one. then downset set up and came on. i didnt think that they were that great so i went to go find out if i could get a F81 shirt. so me and my friends go over there...and nate is sitting there with bill. nate made a comment on how he had the same shirt at me and then of course i bought a shirt and he hands me Nanu video which i already had one. then me and my friends got a picture with just nate cuz bill took the picture. then nate draws this thing on a piece of paper for me. then i asked if he had any ! stickers left cuz my friend got one but he didnt :( so then i asked to get him and bill in a picture and i got that pic too. downset was still playing so everytime i talked to nate i kinda had to yell in his ear but it was soo cool. i cant wait till they come again.
