"This Has Gotta Be the Good Life"
April 26, 2011 About a month and a half ago my head teacher Ameri found out that One Republic would be doing a European Tour in April. This meant that they were coming to Ukraine on the 13th. A few of us decided to get tickets because we love One Republic. We went and bought are tickets and then decided it would be really fun to get all dressed up for this concert because it was being held in a really nice club called the Crystal Hall. For the next few weeks we all searched for some really cute outfit to wear. The concert was on a Wednesday night and started at 9. So after teaching we hurried and changed and got all ready and headed over to Crystal Hall. Getting ready took a little longer than we expected and by the time we got to the hall 
there was a really long line out the door. We thought that this was a line for people who hadn't bought tickets; we were wrong. It was the line for the people with tickets. We hurried and got in line and anxiously waited to get inside, not just because we were really excited but also because it was raining and we didn't have umbrellas or hoods.... not the best planing on our parts. I guess we forgot the nursery rhyme "April showers bring May flowers." Finally after waiting for 40 minutes we got inside and checked in our coats and found a spot on the dance floor. I really was not expecting the place to have that many people in it considering it was an American band. Boy was I wrong. It was the most crowded concert I have ever been too. Then again I have only been to 3, but still it was super crowded. We got all situated and then had to wait for One Republic to come out. The concert finally started at 10, and they played about 14 or 15 songs. It was a really good concert, they played all my favorites: Marching On, Goodlife, Apologize, 
Secrets, All the Right Moves, Say All I Need, etc. The best part about the concert, other than the fact that they were amazing live, was that they let you take pictures! Everyone had their cameras and phones out. I took a bunch of videos but of course none of them turned out... at least I got a few decent photos =) The concert got done and then we had to go through the miserable rush of trying to get our coats. Imagine 1500 people all trying to cram into one little hallway to get their coats. That is pretty much how it went... not the funnest 
endeaver. We finally got our coats and headed outside and realized we didn't have enough time or energy to make it to the Metro before it closed so we decided to take a cab. Our driver was super cool and knew really good English. Surprisingly enough he said he had been a singer in New York for a while and he let us listen to his CD. He was a super nice guy =) I was so thankful we were able to drive instead of walk because after standing in heels for almost 3 hours my feet were pretty tired. All in all it was one amazing concert =)
