Twenty One Pilots


     Two months ago, on September 11th, I went to my first concert ever. I saw Twenty One Pilots at the Festival Pier in Philadelphia. It was amazing. The concert was at an outdoor venue, fortunately it was a beautiful night. My only complaint was that it was hard to see. It was general admission, meaning there was no seating, and so we had to stand behind a lot of people. Still, it was a great experience.

     I first heard Twenty One Pilots a couple years ago. It was just after their third album, Vessel, was released. We bought the album and played it non-stop in the car for weeks. I was completely hooked. When their next album, Blurryface, was released, we bought it right away. Then the tickets went on sale and we were able to get them. It's an experience I will always remember.

     If you have never heard of Twenty One Pilots, I strongly suggest you do so. They are an alternative band, and the music they produce is so different that it may take time for it to grow on you. It's part pop, part rap, and a little rock. The music is very introspective and even spiritual, and not at all offensive. They are just a lot of fun.

     On June 19th, 2016 I will be going to my second concert. This time it will be at Hershey Park Stadium, another outdoor venue (Lets hope for more good weather). Of course, the concert will be Twenty One Pilots, and hopefully it will be just as fun as the first one.


     "The logo means something to me because I made it mean something to me. That's the point...It doesn't have to be artistic, but if you create something and only you know the meaning of it, that's the beginning of purpose for you...so the logo is an encouragement for people to create."
