!!!! Saw Dashboard Confessional... solo.. acoustic... awesome.

We bought the tickets after they'd sold out, from a website, about 20 dollars overpriced which ended up as 50 over by the time one added in fees.  Which sucks.. but was totally worth it.  Chris was playing at the TLA... right down the street!  So close, I just couldn't miss it.  It's ( Read more... )
