Sufjan Stevens. Wow. Fuck. Amazing. Even more than expected.
The opening act was Amanda LeFevre. Exactly. Her name was Liz James, but I swear to god, it was fucking LeFern. It was nice. She played a ukelalee (I can't spell).
Then, the gang ("The Illinoise-makers") came out in cheerleading outfits, and Sufjan clad in a fucking Stars 'N Stripes jumpsuit. The girls had pom-poms, and before almost every song, they did a cheer for it. It was incredibly adorable. They even did a human pyramid right fuckin' in front of me. He is a really attractive, really goofy guy. [He will be mine.] Being in Illinois made this show ten times better, I can only imagine. Either way, now pictures.
