CONCERT!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOT
So, last night was the concert, and it was the single most exciting thing in my entire life! OMG! It was soooo cool!

Let me start at the beginning.

I got up at about 7 in the morning and we left at about eight. We arrived at Myth (minnesota) at about 1:00. And we checked the place out. Some people were already in line. Then we went to the Maplewood mall for while. 

At about four we went and started to stand in line. It was freakin' freezing. All I had on was a little HIM sweatshirt then a shirt. And the wind was blowing like crazy so I was freezing my butt off.
We started talking with these people next to us, Autumn, Brandon, and a brother and sister. (Autumn, if you're out there, this is Shailey. My dad and I stood next to you the whole time. xD) 

Some funny stories: Autumn was saying how her brother and Brandon were going to catapult her onto the stage and how she was going to try and hug all of them. And i'm like, "Just tackle 'em!" And she just says "I can't tackle Ville! He's so little and he'd get hurt!" Then we were wondering why it was taking so long so I made up a scenario that maybe Ville was having a hard time putting on his leather pants and the guy would come out and say "Sorry folks, shows cancelled on account of Ville's head concussion when he fell down trying to put on his leather pants." xD We laughed for a good five minutes about that; just picturing it. (Though, of course, he didn't wear leather pants. Darn. Lol)

We waited for three hours in the cold. And it was so hilarious because when they turned on the blue lights around the building everyone was screaming their heads off. And then when they actually opened the doors, no one even noticed really and there wasn't that much screaming.

We didn't get in until like 7:10 and I was like "Woowww!" Yes, the place looked bigger in pictures, but it was still amazing. I got a pretty good spot near the front with the people we talked too and my dad. We had to wait another thirty minutes till Bleeding Through came on.
As soon as they sang the first note I was like "Great." It's not really my kind of music.
But it was my first concert and as soon as they started my whole body was like shaking from the loudness of it and I was like, Coolio!

So at about 8:40 something they went off and they started setting up for HIM. The cool album cover for Venus Doom in the background was awesome; I squealed when I saw it. 

Then when it  was 9:00 they still weren't on. At about 9:10 this belly-dancer chick came on and everyone was 'whooing' and everything, but I was like "Where are they!?" By 9:15 they still weren't out and i was literally about to hyperventilate, I was like 'I must see Ville!" Lol And I was jumping up and down, saying "This is the most anticipated thing I've ever wanted. I NEED HIM NOW!" Ahahahahahaha

Finally they turn off the stupid waiting music and everyone was screaming. 

The band comes out and starts playing Passion's Killing Floor then finally AFTER ALL THE WAITING, Ville walks out and starts singing. 

I was so blown away to actually be seeing him. It's one of those moments that you stare at them and can't believe it's them. You're like "No, that's not him...It can't be him..can it?" So I was screaming my head off and started madly taking pictures (they allowed cameras) as soon as my dad was like "Aren't you going to take pictures?" Cause I was like in a shock I guess, and was just standing there with my mouth open staring at Ville. xD 

So I was like going crazy, watching them, (well mostly Ville, I admit). He just looks so pretty in person! I still can't believe I actually saw him. It's just like...wow. I mean...just wow.

He looked so tired though, then the was pointing at his throat to Mige and making a drinking motion with his hand. I take it that he had a sore throat. 

He talked a bit about Viagra (hahahaha) and how he's been needing to use it then said something about "I jacked off last night..." Then trailed off with a mysterious smile. All the girls started screaming, of course. Including me. xD 
Before he sang Vampire Heart he said how he watched some Dracula movie and wouldn't mind if the girl drank his blood. xD

Later he held up his Red Bull and says he's been killing his loneliness with it. So then he sang Killing Loneliness. xD

I've noticed he looks over at Mige a lot. Like the whole time his gaze was over at him and he was smiling faintly. He must really like Mige and Mige would always start smiling or laughing even if Ville didn't do anything. 

I was happeh though because Ville did his cute little laugh that just sounds so funny; even though it wasn't right into the microphone I was able to hear it. And he did a lot of those little noises he does (like the intake of breath, like at the end of And Love Said No, and Join Me) I love those noises. xD And he did them a lot. Everytime he did I squealed. xD

They sang, like, all my favorite songs and I'll list them below. I can't remember all of them, sadly, so if anyone else can remind if I miss any (the people who went to that concert, of course) it would be most appreciated. :)

I was sad that Ville left the stage first, though I guess he always does that. I was actually crying on the last song then when he walked off, I didn't want it to end. On the last song (funeral of hearts) he says "Sadly, all medium things must come to an end." xD Obviously he didn't think he was that good.

All in all it was pretty awesome. I must admit, Ville's voice was kind of off in some places (especially Buried Alive by Love). It sounded really raspy, whiny, and just not like him at all. Then again, he had a sore throat so I can understand completely. He did all the screams perfectly though, as they are in the album, which I was surprised he did since he had a sore throat. He gives so much for us. *sobs* xD

I wish everyone wouldn't have been screaming all the time (though I know it's a concert) though because I couldn't hear half the stuff he was saying when he wasn't singing because his voice is so low. *shivers* lol

Here's the list of songs, as I know it:

Passion's Killing Floor
Rip Out The Wing's of A Butterfly
Soul on Fire
Join me in Death
Dead Lover's Lane
Sleepwalking Past Hope
Killing Loneliness
Right Here in My Arms
Wicked Game
Poison Girl
Bleed Well
Kiss of Dawn
Funeral of Hearts
Vampire Heart
Buried Alive by Love
It's All Tears (drown in this love) (I was really surprised he did that one! I really like that song!)

Actually, I think I may have named them all..Himm, guess I have a better memory than i though. Lol. Though if I did miss any, please tell me. :)

That was the single best thing in my entire life. I wish I could have been a fan years ago (I, truthfully, miss the old Ville. Love Metal and R.R. Ville. The way he acted and looked, but that's a whole nother story.) so I could have gone to those concerts; seeing as in this one he barely talked to the audience and didn't move around at all except for to get a new cigarette or water. Lol. He had like 12 cigarettes. I'm like "Wow, he really /does/ smoke a lot."

But still, it was my first concert and the waiting in line for three hours was soooo worth it and I hope my dad will let me see them again some day; take me, I mean. Hopefully when their next album comes out I will be able to go to a concert on that tour. :)

I took some pictures, but they're mostly blurry cause my camera sucks, but I'll try and post at least two or three good ones. They aren't all close up though, since i wasn't like /right next/ to the stage.
