SO!!! Yesterday was the Jimmy Eat World/Taking Back Sunday concert. It was at this big old convention centre near the airport. My friend Jason drove John and I down...and we definitely were amongst some of the older people at the show. It was a pretty big crowd, I'd put it at something in the range of 3000. And let me tell you...the crowd was nutso...like john and I had to bail out and stand on the sidelines halfway through each show because we were sweating like dogs and dying from the constant jostling/crowd surfing, etc.
The music was splendid...Taking Back Sunday actually played a lot of their old stuff, even though they have a new singer...I'd give them an 8/10. Jimmy Eat World was just fantastico...played basically all of my favourite songs, were REALLY into it, and they seriously know how to work a crowd. Definitely a 10/10 no questions, hands down, just about as good as concerts come. The sound was great given how huge of a warehouse/hanger this place was.
The only disappointment of the show was that tshirts were $30 for the main bands, and $25 for "The Format" the openers. I would for sure have bought two or three of The Format's shirts if they'd been $15, because they were hilarious and hip...and the band was actually really great too, although we only caught about half of their set.
Anyways, the part you've all been waiting for...

She was just Ass
Until I got her pregnant"
