Was anyone there last night? It officially became the best live show I've ever seen, but I was in the second row getting rowdy. They are such a great fucking band. (and I bought a copy of their EP. their influences are a lot more apparent on it.)

I was not, unfortunately. I heard that show sold out super-fast. :p

I saw them in New York on the 1st (and yes, tickets here sold out in about 20 minutes; it was insane), and they were totally incredible.

I was there, and it was indeed awesome. I watched from backstage with Win's parents (he's a friend of mine from high school) and took these two super-blurry cameraphone photos:

They're definitely the best live show I've ever seen too--seeing everybody going nuts from behind the stage was INCREDIBLE, though I wished I'd been in there too--when I saw them at TT's earlier in the winter it was great s well. I hope they became incredibly huge!

Megan, did you see David Byrne?

WISH I could have gone to the DC show, tickets sold out reallly quickly.

No, but caught a tiny glimpse of Bowie in the balcony.

I wish I'd seen this:

Me too, mrjosh. I was at the webster hall show, unfortunately.

I was at the show last night -- thought it was pretty up to par with their last two boston area performances (tt's & tufts). i was really hoping for a 'this is the place' cover, but regardless, it was a ball.

i'm also really happy i bought the ep that was out of print until recently, its in beautiful shape (just like funeral).

yo, mr. josh, did you see me from the balcony? i was in the second row center getting CRAZY. i have brown hair, I was wearing a red jacket with a green shirt underneath, and i was jumping up and down and screaming and conducting the violinists and what-not... wow. that sounds kind of obnoxious, but i think it was appropriate considering the energy.

i tried to get tickets for the NYC show, too. i was so desperate to see them I took the chinatown bus to boston yesterday just to see the show at the roxy. then i lost my cell phone in two feet of snow in the boston commons, but found it after 45 minutes of crawling around looking for it. good times.

Ah. So you know, it was not appropriate.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Saturday, 5 February 2005 06:20 (twenty-one years ago)

whatever. everyone around me was rocking out just as hard. besdies, i spent $10 on their EP, $20 on the ticket, $20 on liquor, and $30 on a round-trip bus pass to Boston. I should be entitled to conduct a goddamn orchestra. (and the violinist blew me a kiss, too. awwwwwwww yea.)

Hey poortheatre, were you the guy next to the guy in the big knit hat?

Yeah, I was kind of sorry that I was backstage (sort of) since I didn't get to jump around and go crazy quite like everyone else in the whole place. But I will definitely catch them again and do that.

― mrjosh (mrjosh), Saturday, 5 February 2005 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

poortheatre, Owen blew you a kiss? Final Fantasy and poortheatre sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Saturday, 5 February 2005 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

hahahaha, nah, not owen. maybe if he'd actually play covers of Final Fantasy tunes (I thought that was his gimmick). i meant the female violinist with the cute necktie.

i think the guy in the big knit hat was right in front of me. the whole first row has hardly moving. i was using him for leverage to get higher on my jumps, though haha.

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Saturday, 5 February 2005 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i might hate you

― sir (Sean M), Sunday, 6 February 2005 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i asked him if it was cool :)
