The main point of going to the Voodoo Music Festival was to see My Chemical Romance. The contest that Sara won was sponsored by their label, and included a "meet and greet" with the band before their performance. Unforunately, there was some miscommunication between various back stage parties, and thus Sara and I spent 45 minutes waiting in the wrong place. So, by the time everything got straightened out, we had barely 5 minutes to get some posters signed, say some hellos, and snap some pictures:
MCR and some other contest winners. Sara was too shy to partake.
As for the performance itself, it seemed like it was pretty good. I'm not the world's biggest MCR fan, but they played about 11 songs, with a pretty decent mix of songs off of their prior album, "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge", and their new album, "The Black Parade". I have listened to "Three Cheers" a fair amount, on the songs that I like off of there, "Helena" and "I'm Not Okay (I Promise), were enjoyable live:
Anyways, it was a decent performance, and I guess I owe MCR thanks for hooking Sara up with the VIP passes to the Voodoo festival, as well as the hotel and airfare...
