Heat, movement, excitement, joy, and patience are all elements the Knitting Factory felt at 7:00 pm on Oct. 9th, 2011. We were waiting for, Panic! At The Disco. The opening acts-Foxy Shazam and Patrick Stump- were great. We screamed, yelled, shouted, and cheered for them plenty. I wondered if we were this loud for them, what would we sound like when Brendon Urie would run on stage? I'd find out soon. I saw the stage hands change instruments to the Panic! instruments and I knew, the moment was so close. Then the stage fell silent and went dark. A hush fell over the crowd. The intro to "Ready To Go" began. SO. FREAKING. CLOSE. They sprinted out. First Spencer Smith. Then the traveling members: Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes. Then Brendon Urie. The man we've been waiting for. I was breathless. "Give it to me Mother F*ckers!" He yelled when it came to the bridge. Most screamed/sang it. This was so surreal. Seeing a band I've been a fan of for five years was just absolutely amazing. So great. The band continued on with "But It's Better If You Do". I give Brendon Urie mad respect because he had a bad fever and almost had malaria the previous night. He continued on with the show wonderfully on a hot stage. He must have been burning up for the whole show. He played it off nicely with funny "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" jokes. The concert continued with laughs, screams, and great music. We begged the band for an encore and they delivered. They were hilarious. When they were done I chucked my kandi bracelet on stage. Brendon took it :3. The whole band did a funny bow-and-walk backstage. We roared with the happiness we collected over the past four hours. And that, that was "Pretty. Odd." Forget Bieber Fever, I get Panic! Attacks!
