Hmmm...what about neon green tights, black shirt dress and pink keds? Big, big neon earrings optional.

So the show was good times.

It's a music cliche to claim to like a band's early works. Say Anything - the exception that proves the rule. I really did not like the pre-touring, internet release songs ala Dave Matthews. The later stuff is faster, funnier and just better.

There were very few emo kids or scene makers. Instead, this was a frat boy "bro" show. Lots of guys trying to groove ala 50 Cent to the faster, almost punk, songs. The crowd also did not know how to handle a pit; people didn't know how to catch fallers and rarely helped people up. There were also two fights during slow songs.

Beyond that, I fell in love with another band tonight. Biffy Clyro was one of the 3 openers. Amazing. Their CD sold out at the merch table 15 minutes after their last song. Just phenomenal. It was interesting to watch the crowd react. The older (25+ crowd) just went nuts. The youngins (12-early 20s) just kind of watched. I came home downloaded their last 3 albums. There wasn't a single song that I didn't like and many songs I loved. Apparently, they are the British Nirvana but they are so much "weirder" than Nirvana.

So I bought my second band t-shirt...ever.

wait, there was a "pit" at a say anything show? that's odd in itself.
