you could move in there?! it was completely packed towards the back & any movement would have necessitated bumping against people.

menomena sounded great & i thought the crowd was fairly responsive for the space constraints.

For the record… it was not a beer can, it was a beer. I know this because I had the champagne of beers all over me. Somehow, josh standing right next to me, missed the shower.
Also, maybe the hippie couple seemed cute to others. But I was right next to them and they drove me crazy. Down with Pyramid Schemes?! Free Speech?!? WTF. Also pleased to report… the male half of the couple teaches Math at a community college. Glad my tax dollars are paying for that.

i agree, the crowd was pretty bland, but i the show was fantastic.

what did you guys think of the openers?

i have seen siberian before and liked them and i really liked them this time. i think by the time their ep (march) comes out. they’ll have a pretty good head of steam considering they are opening up for a lot of national bands in the next couple of months.

i had never heard of s before, but i really enjoyed their (her) bitter(sweet) songs. i checked out their 2004 release, puking and crying and am enjoying it. i was semi shocked to find out she was the other founding member of carissa’s weird.
-fun fact #2: npr darling sera cahoone used to drum for carissa’s weird too.

That’s too bad. I went up to the Vancouver show, and the crowd was very responsive and excited about the band. Menomena killed it there, of course, and the Canadians greeted them with open arms, cheering at the beginning of their favorite songs and all.
Menomena themselves said the crowd was the best they’d played to in a long time. No doubt Seattle left a bad taste in their mouths.
