Shirked work yesterday to go to the Live concert with K. (Well, books at the duckpond and then dinner with K and Adam and then concert.) I now know the best places to sit in Burruss for a concert, so that you can see (most of) the stage despite all the people standing up.
Promptly at eight (?), the lights went down, although idiots were still trickling in for the next half hour or so. The opening band (Lake Trout) was alright. Couldn't make out any lyrics, but 1/3 of their songs were instrumentals, so that's okay. Sort of metal-ish. But two of the instrumentals had a flute, so it's all good.
After they finished up, there was a half-hour intermission.
Then Live came on. And it was way cool. These are guys that have been playing together for well over ten years, and enjoy it. And they're good at it. Good music, good show. Enjoyable despite knowing maybe a third of the songs. (And way surprised that I knew even that many-- I was half expecting them to play mostly stuff less than nine years old. But there were four or five songs from Throwing Copper, and even "The Beauty of Gray" from Mental Jewelry. Shock and amazement.) Very happy I went.

Today I went in to talk to the Theatre department.
I walked out as a Theatre major. May God have mercy on my soul.

Tech Bookstore is having a book sale. So E bought another $60 of books that we don't have room for on the shelves. There's a lot of very cool stuff there, and it'll be there through sometime in the summer. So check it out.

Date: 2003-03-25 02:48 pm (UTC)i've always loved "Lightning Crashes," but listening to him sing it was amazing. it's hard to imagine the emotions he must feel, singing a song about his dead wife and hearing an entire stadium full of people join in.
Dunno if you are interested BUT...
