Okay, so more concert details:

Because I nommed prime rib with my family, we ended up not actually on the road (after gas and going to friend's house to pick him up) until around 7:45, which was okay by me.  By the time we got there I did have to search for parking, and the only place I found was a valet-type garage and my god I am dumb when it comes to things like that.  I just don't know how to function and don't know what people want me to do and I'm very derpy about it.

Anyway, by the time we got inside it had to be a little after 9, which meant the first pre-band was up still and everything.  I was a bit nervous because the acoustics in the place sounded weird and all the instruments had their volumes cranked up so high that I could not hear the vocals pretty much at all.  When the second pre-band came on, it was even worse (also the singer's obvious drunkenness made me wonder if and when he would fall over and I kind of kept hoping for it because it would have been funny to me because I am mean like that).  So I was really nervous and everything about not being able to hear Jack or Sandra and I was praying that they would fix it.

Of course, they did, because they are fantastic.  They opened up - as usual - with Tats and it was - also as usual - brilliant.  This show was more comedic than usual too (though they are always funny and fun).  At one point Jack's shoe became untied and then Peter kept telling jokes and it was just a lot of fun.  I wish Rebecca was there but I guess she had some other obligation, so...sadface.

As always, I stood in the front and didn't regret a second of it.  Jack sang with me and held the back of my head at one point and I will pretty much always love interacting with him and the rest of the front crowd people.  We are starting to recognize each other, actually, and it is kind of fantastic.  I told one regular I always see that I would see her at the next show and she smiled and said definitely and she's always so much fun.

We got them to do two encores for us, the second of which they extended quite a bit.  And we did the waltz to Heart Attack '64 and that is always great because waltzing and moshing at the same time is crazy.  They ended everything with Zen and I was super super super fucking happy about that because that song is definitely one of my favourites.

At the end I had glitter all over me and beer was spilled and I was gross but it was worth it and awesome.  Plus, I was given the last set list when I asked for it and I am going to try and just keep getting set lists because they are wonderful souvenirs and everything.

So so so glad I went.

Oh, and my bruises got worse and I might post another picture of them later because they are fab.
