Day 3, part 1-- the concert---once again sorry about out of orderness

Today was the We Are One concert, and it was a zoo! We got up very early in order to get there when the gates opened (eight o'clock). We followed the masses onto the grass on either sides of the Washington Monument reflecting pool. After establishing camp, we tried all ways of entertainment in order to keep ourselves busy for the next six hours of waiting for t he concert to even start. We were pretty comfortable until suddenly everyone started running forward, and we were forced to do so too, which sucked because for the next hour till the concert, I was crammed between tall people, unable to see anything. I mean, what is the point of another few feet forward; its not that great. I was really freaked out because I thought I heard a gun, and we were running for a phsycho person, which wasn't true. Woops. When it started, I couldn't see but didn't care, because it was AMAZING! And even though no one cared, I saw Rosario Dawson, who played Mimi in Rent, which is like the smallest piece of cheese ever! Oh, by the way Chuck made up this thing where instead of stayed good, she says small piece of cheese, and for bad she says large piece of cheese. It's kinda catchy. After the concert, we made our way to the Mandarin Oriental to get ready to go to Citronelle.... (to be continued in separate post.)
