The "My First Concert" contest provided an interesting look into the stories about what it took for people to get to their first concert. It seems that it took a lot of begging and pleading, and at times, outright lying to become on of the screaming fans in the audience.
Some of us saw bands that are considered by most to be amongst the greatest of all time, while others saw artists that were only relevant for that moment in time. Hopefully, everyone enjoyed this walk down memory lane back to the teenage years.

GRAND PRIZE ~ 1000 Points
LINDSAY PENDLETON
Lindsay showed us all that a great story and great writing doesn't necessarily have to go hand-in-hand with great music. If you want to have some fun, you definitely should check out Lindsay's contest entry. It had everything...suspense, love, songwriting...and so on. It was like living inside an episode of a teen drama. This post was longer than most, but you'll be amazed at how easy it is to read and enjoy.
HONORABLE MENTION ~ 500 Points Each
MELISSA GRANT
What rules would you break to go and see a band that you love? Melissa takes you through a fascinating story of teenage rebellion in this must-read contest entry. Of course, her first concert ended up costing her a social life for a while after her parents found her out. Parents should check this out as a guideline to see what your teenagers may try someday.
LISA HEINDEL
Lisa's first concert was like going to four first concerts at the same time, a virtual who's who of late 70's music, all for an incredibly low price. It makes you wonder how kids today get to go to see their favorite bands, because prices are much higher, and you get a lot less for your money.
LISA BOSQUES
If you know Lisa at all, you will be well-aware that Queen is her favorite band, so it comes as no surprise that they were her first concert also. Read about Lisa's very happy experience and the bittersweet ending to the concert.
JIM LUDES
Jim's first concert experience was a very cool one, although he didn't exactly arrive at the concert in rockstar fashion. Check out his post for the details.
MIDORI MILLER
Midori's first concert experience is one that she will always remember, and keep close to her heart. She got to experience it with her older sister, someone that she looked up to, and sadly lost.
Congratulations to all of our winners. Thank you to all of those that entered the contest.
