A-VI-CII, A-VI-CII, A-VI-CII

Welcome B-Readers! (Yes, that is what we will be calling you). So for all of you there, you know that Avicii performed at the Broome County Arena Thursday night.  For all of you not there, you still know Avicii performed because you probably spent half of Wednesday scouring for a ticket. For anyone that actually had no idea Avicii was playing Binghamton Thursday night, I'm sorry I do not know what to tell you other than to please remove the massive boulder you must be hiding under. Anyways, anyone that was there, I do not need to tell you how awesome it was, so please feel free to comment with your own personal stories on this post so we can all share some crazy stories from the night. For everyone who could not make it to the show, that is why you have us, your friendly neighborhood B-Men, to give you a little glimpse into what went down. We started our night with a call to the man himself, yes you guessed it, Sagman.  Sag, Saggy, Sag-meister, The Sag Man, whatever you want to call him, this man is undoubtedly the greatest cab driver in all of Binghamton. If you have not used his services to go downtown yet, next Friday when you are hitting the frats I highly suggest you give him a call. The man has house music playlists, strobe lights, and LEDs in his cab so you know he will not disappoint. Oh, and did I mention we stuffed 19 people in this cab? Well we did. Feel free to try and top that. So Sag-a-licious dropped us off at Delta Chi for a pregame. If you have not had a chance to hit up one of their parties yet, next weekend I better see you all there. I've been there three times now and let me tell you, these brothers will show you a really, really good time. Maybe when I see you all there next weekend I can share some stories from the last couple parties so you get what I mean and then we can proceed to make some stories of our own. Sound like a plan? I think so. So once Delta Chi had us all in good spirits and we were in a mood to shamelessly fist pump and jump up and down, it seemed like Avicii would be the ideal place to take out all that energy. We got to the arena about 8, fashionably late of course.  Too bad Avicii was even more fashionable than us and did not come out till past 9. Opening act was really solid also though and was a good warm up for when the real party started. As fun as that opening DJ may have been, let me just say, the party might not start till Ke$ha walks in, but the beat does not drop until Avicii drops it. The man hit the stage, the lights flashed, the screen lit up, and the bass shook the floor like an earthquake was about to bring Binghamton to the ground. Talk about an entrance. Now, I probably should mention we were in the front against the rail. If you have never been to a concert like that and seen the front, I must warn you, it is no place for the weak of heart. If you are going to be right up front you better be ready to throw it down, hands in the air, jumping till you can not do it anymore, and taking the occasional elbow to the face. B-Men are anything but weak of heart so that is exactly what we did. We threw it down right up front no more than 20 feet from the man himself, Avicii.

He throws an awesome show, there is no other way to describe it. Coming from someone who only knows a few of his songs, it did not matter. It is all great to dance to and with everyone around you just have an amazing time and bouncing to the beat it is impossible to not have an awesome time yourself. Now I just need to take a moment to comment on the audience. Of course it was entirely dominated by Binghamton students. However, a new fashion trend seems to be sweeping campus. The baby's pacifier would appear to be the new accessory of choice on party night for many of Binghamton's students. Oh, Molly. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, your parents would be proud, and all you need to know is Molly is a very nice lady.  Alright, back to the concert. The guy has an absolutely sick light system. If you have never seen a few thousand people jump up and down in the most intense strobe light you will ever see, you should try it out. It makes life look like one of those choppy films from the 1920s you watch in history class. Just trust me on this one, because believe me, it is incredible. If that is not enough to convince you, for all our male readers out there, the countless shirtless girls on people's shoulders in the front row should do the trick. For the ladies, your B-Men were there, where were you? Well, there is always next time. In all, we partied and danced for about 3 straight hours right in the front of Avicii. My legs are still killing me from all the jumping. If that is not an indication of a really amazing time I do not know what is. Easily one of the most fun nights of my life and a great example of why I love college. Cannot wait to do it all again with you really soon Binghamton. Try not to have too much fun without us. Talk to you soon- The B-Men.
