take me out

So they say you're trouble boy
Because you like to destroy
All the things that bring idiots joy
Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?

BANG! The lead singer (Alexander Kapranos) and the bassist (Bob Hardy) are so cute, I'm totally crushing.
So, last night, I went to go see Franz Ferdinand with Amy, my bro, and his friend Alicia (?). Since we never sold the last ticket, my brother ended up giving it away to some random guy on the street. Which is bad enough as is, but I found out that since the show actually undersold, the theatre was GIVING AWAY TICKETS. LIKE, AT THE DOOR. DAMN IT. But that's okay, 'cuz I had a ton of fun anyway. The concert opened with Cut Copy and TV on the Radio, who were both pretty badass. I really liked the two Cut Copy songs we walked in on, and the TVOTR song with the beatboxing. The energy was relatively low for the first portion, but as soon as Franz stepped up, the crowd just swelled into frenzy. I was basically dancing the entire concert, which like never happens. The best songs of the night, I thought, were "Do You Want To", "This Boy", "Michael", and "This Fire". I'll post a picture or two that I took from the concert if I ever find my photo cord thingy.

Haha, at one point of the concert, there was this obnoxious drunk couple who were trying to push their way to the front. They couldn't though and ended up swaying back and forth where they were, which usually into my right arm and back. My brother asked me to switch places with me, and at first, I didn't want him to have to deal with them, but then I switched anyway 'cuz I thought he could handle it. Which he did ! I noticed a little later into the concert that the couple was gone, and my brother explained what happened on the way back home. At the end of one of the songs, when everyone was clapping above their heads to the beat, my brother would ram his elbow into the guy's back. When the guy and the girl switched places, my bro tried to unhook her bra. Then they moved. :D

I'm really sad I didn't get the cute Franz poster though; I really liked the backdrop they had. Eventually, we got home around 12ish, ... it was good times.

Okay, now back to SATs studying !!!! I really hope I do well on it tomorrow!
