[gdinger94]

we had floor sits that night. and you can see are group in the congo line.

Go Illinois.

[violinplayer5]

I was there. That night we were all the way at the top which sucked. We got Floor seats on Saturday though :)

[isuclones12]

Sorry for starting the conga line that took up your whole video!!! 1st 3 people started it all from Faith Lutheran Church in Iowa!!!!

[squirrelxo5]

We were on the floor twice, the second time for Skillet.

But I was only down there for ten minutes the second time, because I went up to go to the bathroom, and they wouldn't let anybody back down. D:

But still, I was rather happy. When Skillet came on, everybody just got up and ran to where we had been sitting.

[popperdoodles1396]

they didnt let you back down? all my group did was point to a direction and say we're sitting there and they let us through. we had floor seats every night though

[squirrelxo5]

Naw, they didn't.

And we had been standing outside forever, too.

Plus we didn't have our cell phones or anything, so when our group finally found us they were like, "WHAT THE HECK?! WHERE WERE YOU?!"

Ah, well. :P

[officiallydazzled]

I came from Oregon, I was on the floor on friday though. Being on the floor is SOOO exciting

[hiimelpibe]
