So.... What to say about last night's show? Well I did get to meet Isaac. Yeah. It was as cool as one would think. He is such a nice guy. I had met a girl and her younger sister and the last modest mouse show in NYC at the Bowery who were very nice and we all sang Neutral Milk Hotel with eachother between bands. Well this girl, Patti, is without any doubt in my, their biggest fan. She has seen them 30 + times. So in the time between the two shows she had become good friends the with the band. So I am on the line outside and I see her younger sister walking by on cructhes and I recognize and she says hi and tells me that she got in an accident two days after she got her license. Ouch. Moving up three hours to when modest mouse where about to come, I'm at the very front and all of a sudden someone taps my shoulder and pokes my nose and it is none other than patti herself. Apparently, her sister had told her that I was there and she went looking for me. She tells me that she saw them in seatlle, eugene, all over the place. And that she is now friends with Isaac. So the show goes on and rocks me like no other and then sadly ends. Patti says goodbye and goes upstairs to find her sister and I go buy some merchandise. While on that line, Isaac walks by and asks anyone if they have seen Patti. Well of course my friend that she has and I say that she went upstairs to find her sister. So then we go upstairs to say goodbye to her sister and isaac comes over and starts talking to patti and she introduces me to him. He said that he thought my hair was blond downstairs. Ha. THE SHOW ITSELF The bands rocked. All of them. The crowd FUCKING sucked. Now of course this is not for every single person who was there but all the people I was around were less than fun. Two people cheered when the shins said they had only one more song, two (i think 12 year old) girls behind us kept trying to sneak through us and get closer, some guy grabbed my friend's hair for absolutely no reason, and the moshers. yes MOSHERS. There is nothing wrong with moshing in my mind, its fine in the correct context, not during all nite diner. I had thought that moshing was a way to get out aggressions, hence the songs to mosh to needed some kind of aggresssive content or feel to it, and all nite diner does not to seem to fit that bill. Of course they moshed to nearly every song, and kept on bumping into me. There were 4 people by us who were nice and polite and thats all. Damed NYC crowd. There were ticket scalpers, too. That struck me funny. And a really long line to get in. I saw them in May and I got there late and walked in, and no one was there. Very strange contrast to last night. All in all, a night of good music is a good night. .bagel.
