I saw Alkaline Trio Tuesday night at the House of Blues. The venue: the house of blues is a cool venue, except it looks really shiny and new and I don't like that. I'm more of a fan of older venues like the Granada. I was trying to take photos of people because I want to become a photographer and I'm trying to get all the practice I can get. But the battery died on me.
The band: Alkaline Trio was awesome. Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano, and Derek Grant rocked it out. Their energy got the crowd moving and body surfing. Most of the crowd looked like they would get grounded if they weren't home by 10 p.m. Made me feel old, in a good way. I would def. go see the trio from McHenry, Illinois (near Chicago) again. After the band finished their set, the audience begged for more and the trio graciously came out and played two more songs. I did not see the two opening acts, American Steel and the Fashion, which sucks.
Love Love, Kiss Kiss is one of my favorite songs from their latest release, Agony and Irony (this is the only album I have--although the boys have been around since 1996): "Love love, kiss kiss ... blah blah blah
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone
Love love, kiss kiss ... blah blah blah
Well do you find you like to fall in love with people that you're never gonna meet?
It's easier than breaking up and crying in the street."
On the way home from the concert I got into an accident. While I was changing lanes this car sideswiped me and then drove off at 90 m.p.h. I had a flat tire and I stopped in Victory Park and these two cops (actually off-duty DPS officers) changed it for me. I called my dad. At a time like that, you need a parent. Memo to self: must read article on changing a tire that I got from JANE magazine. Repeatedly.
Please go and buy Alkaline Trio, Agony and IRony.
I found 2 new flavors of hot pockets.
See ya,
bbb
