so the bright eyes concert was tonight.  I couldnt get into the one at blueberry hill, but the appearance at vintage vinyl turned out to be a performance after all.  (dave had convinced me otherwise.)  so you can go ahead and disregard my last post; everything actually worked out very well.  they did a five song set including three unreleased songs.  and unlike other concerts Ive attended, I got to stand ten feet from the stage, it was not crowded or smokey, and it didnt cost me anything.  so it was basically the best concert Ive ever been to.  and I even got to say hi to conor afterwards, which I thought was pretty cool.  he was very polite.  sadly he wont be coming out with a new cd for a while.  he said he is going to start recording sometime in november.  in the meantime, I guess Ill have some time to kill, and I find myself giving more and more thought to becoming indie.

I know what youre thinking, but hear me out.  I really think I might enjoy the music.  I mean, even though angst isnt in anymore, there are indie bands out there making complaint rock like it was still 1995.  isnt that great?  secondly, I have a feeling indie rock shows are never very crowded or expensive, and it would definitely give me something to do.  and most importantly, indie rock girls are hot.  (Im sure mine wouldnt mind giving me advice on how to get into that scene.  a couple of trips to thrift stores and a visit or two to napster is really all it would take, dont you think?.)  also, if my favorite band is someone youve never heard of Im obviously much cooler than you are, right?

sigh.. now if only I didnt hate polo shirts.
