Last night I went to the Arcade Fire concert.  Two words to sum up the evening/show: FUCKING AWESOME.  And now more words:  Damn, they are so kick-ass live.  The whole band has so much energy.  They sound great and look like they are having a ton of fun.  After watching them, I felt a strong urge to jump up on stage and join them.

I went with my ( Read more... )

I just bought tickets to see Arcade Fire at the end of April.  I'm annoyed though because I got general admission floor tickets, but then when I went to buy them, I lost them.  Then I got decent seats, and when I tried to buy those, I lost them too.  Finally, after many more tries, I was able to buy tickets.  The seats don't seem that great, but ( Read more... )

On Friday night I went and saw Ricky Gervais.  The show was taped for his HBO special (airing sometime in December), so that made things a little more exciting.  There were a few cameras scattered throughout the theater and a bunch of wires taped to the ground.  They actually filmed him two nights (my night and the night before that).  I'll ( Read more... )

Friday night my mom and I went to a Rufus Wainwright concert.  He was fabulous, just as I expected him to be.

Martha (his sister) opened for him.  She actually started about five minutes early and played for a total of 35 minutes.  She was so cute and sang beautifully.  She was funny too and made jokes about how depressing her songs are.  The ( Read more... )

Last night I saw Regina Spektor! She was so freakin' good. Just wonderful. The audience LOVED her. I have never seen or heard an audience so crazy for the performer before. There was tons of screaming and people kept shouting things (I know this happens at most shows, but this seemed more extreme). There were a lot of people shouting "You're so ( Read more... )

The Franz Ferdinand show was last night. I started getting really worried early in the day about various things (I was afraid that I'd get lost. I was unsure of the parking situation. I was scared that my name wouldn't be on the guest list). Well, I worried about nothing because everything turned out fine. I really can't believe that I didn't get ( Read more... )

Yesterday I checked my e-mail and was completely surprised to see one with the subject, "Franz Ferdinand Ticket Giveaway Winner!" My reaction was, "What?! No freakin' way ( Read more... )

Yesssss!!!!!! I just bought my tickets for the Flight of the Conchords concert - ROW FIVE BABY! I'm so damn excited right now. Jeez, it hasn't even been a year since I last bought tickets. I can't believe that I get to see them again. Last night I had two different dreams about buying tickets for the show. Both times I had difficulties with ( Read more... )

While browsing facebook a couple of minutes ago, I noticed an ad for The Decemberists on the side of the page. It said that they will be performing at Wheaton College this Friday night. I was kind of shocked because that's very close to where I live. Now I can't decide if I should go or not. If I did go, I'd have to go by myself. I can't think ( Read more... )

Rufus was so great last night. He sounded wonderful live and put on a great show. The audience kind of sucked, but I'll get to all of that a little later. I think I'll first start off with our casino experience.
