Third time and still charmed

Last night, and this early morn, was a hoot and a half. Went to a Wednesday night concert featuring Kiev,  A Silent Film, and the always awesome Silversun Pickups. I really liked Kiev (link For the lazy). A group of very interesting dudes who just knocked it out of the park and had some pretty dope sax solos. A Silent Film was pretty good. Much more pop than i usually like but their presence was fun and their energy way up, they really got the crowd moving.

Silversun though....man. They always put on a great show.  This was the third time i have gone to see them and im still excited to see them again. They always mix in their hits into the set while also playing new songs. Its a great tribute to fans and a artistic release for them. Some bands we have seen try not to perform their hits to protect some kind of "artistic  integrity" but it always make them seem snob like. Went with two girls again, go figure, at the Rialto. Its a pretty decent venue but gets a little too sardine like for my tastes. Felt bad though, my boss was really looking forward to going but just didnt have the time.

Afterwards, went and hit the town and whats weird is i was nervous all day which is usually an omen that we are going to run into someone, which of course we did. My cousin. It wasnt bad but there is always that awkwardness. Really just a good thing it wasnt my aunt. Hope someone else went though. I know she had a blast last time at the fair. The bars were dead but we were like fuck it and had some really tasty shots [jolly rancher was the name and different flavors was the game]. Had fun till 4am chatting, laughing, having very introspective talks about feelings and the future. It was good times.

Well next concert planned is Miike Snow (link For the lazy again)
