Hey, raise your hand if you just got back from the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert in Des Moines! I can't tell whether or not you just raised your hand, but I'll be you didn't. You can't tell whether or not I just raised my hand, but I did.
Anyway, Gnarles Barkley opened for the RHCP and I must say, he's pretty badass too. He had a miniature orchestra playing for him and all, pretty cool. The weather is pretty bad down here in grand ol' Iowa, (a lot of the interstates were shut down around the capital last night), and the place didn't really fill up until later on in the show as people started to drift in. Due to this, Gnarles didn't have the audience he deserved, but I think I w00ted loud enough for the absentees. I'm a pretty good w00tz0r.
Of course, RHC just rocked the freakin house down as usual. I went to the concert with Kati, Rachel, y mi hermano tambien, and we stayed in a hotel several blocks from the concert. I didn't know that Des Moines has a skywalk system that expansive. We actually walked across an area bigger than downtown Iowa City without leaving the confines of our lofty sky-tunnels. It was pretty sweet. Not as sweet as the RHCP, but still pretty sweet.
I still can't hear very well, I'm afraid my socks were rocked right off...
