Last Tuesday I went to Boston to see Belle and Sebastian with The New Pornographers. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I've been as excited about the opening band as the headliners; it's definitely the first time I've wondered if you can make the opening band to an encore.
Some of the highlights:
Belle and Sebastian passed around a fruit bowl. I've never had blueberries at a concert before. And they were some pretty tasty blueberries!
Avalon has a bar in the ladies' bathroom. Maybe this is common at night clubs, but it was the first time I'd ever ordered beer in a bathroom.
Hearing Judy and the Dream of Horses live.
The drummer from The New Pornographers makes the best facial
expressions. Plus he kind of looks like a hobbit.
Also, Chris from Belle and Sebastian looks kind of like the weird
brother that someone let play with the band but turned out to be really
good. He had a little bit of a Napoleon Dynamite's brother thing going
on.
It may have been ridiculously hot inside, and the drinks may have been overpriced and weak, but we got three hours of amazingly good music. I am totally satisfied.
