to call last night’s show a massive disappointment would be giving them too much anticipation value. there’s was nothing to let down, only room to impress.

but they didn’t.

it’d be cliche to blame it on the venue, so let’s blame it on the vocalist. a lousy singer of lackluster lyrics. the goofy, clangy guitar vomit didn’t help their cause either.

the crowd around us was a mixed blessing for sure. after we got mugged by a few purses, someone dropped a bad egg either in front of me or to my right. so we ganked a spot by the bar next to some former hotties, only to be ultimately surrounded by wolves. but one was in sheep’s clothing. some girl and her hat was the best human/clothing combination i’ve seen in almost a year. ridiculous washington would’ve bug-eyed.

and at least the bartender was anxiously serving alcoholic refreshments. and the food after the show hit the spot.

so the shins failed to ruin my evening, which is pretty impressive after all.
