Two days ago I left for Richmond, VA the state capital! I arrived around 10am and had a lot of time to kill before the Reel Big Fish concert at the National Theatre that evening. So I decided to head over to the Canal Walk and the American Civil War Museum which I found very interesting! I think its good to know a bit more about a history of a place before you explore it. After I took a wander over the the "Fan" area of the city which was a historic part of town, this is where the main university is located. Unfortunately there was a rain storm so I was stuck inside for the rest of the day, however due to this I managed to find some pretty cool Student Cafe's in the area! That evening I headed over to the National Theatre on Broadway to see Reel Big Fish. I was a couple of hours early so I decided to grab some dinner at the place next door. To my surprise Aaron Barrett (the lead singer and guitarist for the band) walked in!!! It was pretty awesome to meet him as the band has been one of my favorite bands ever since I was 12!! :):) 
The concert started around 8 and what a concert it was! There was a big age range of people at the gig, from little 11 year olds to 40 something year olds! I always find it interesting to go to concerts in different countries, the crowd acts in a completely different way here. The crowd back home I think is more willing to dance and move about in the pit. It was an awesome gig all in all, the support bands were amazing also which included The Supervillans and English Beat! I met some pretty awesome people that night which made it a good laugh. 
The following morning I made my way to the Greyhound Station to make my way back to Virginia Beach, at the station something must have happened as I was taken outside of the station by undercover cops, questioned and searched to find out that they had made a mistake. I was pretty scared! Undercover police wouldn't question and search you about nothing. 3 hours later I returned back to Virginia Beach and check the surf reports! :) The surf looked great! So I quickly got my board an d everything together and headed down to the beach for probably the best surf of the trip. I was out there until about 9pm, The waves were nice and regular and when they came they were most powerful than previous surf days and about 3ft in height! It was awesome. At points there were Dolphins enjoying the waves only 20-30m away it was pretty amazing! I didn't want to go too close.. 
So today is another day and I've got tickets to the Warped Tour! It starts at 11am so I better get ready for a day of music. Soo many of my favorite bands are playing so I'm pretty excited.
