They ain't no band good enough to make me want to go. No pens, but they allow crowd-surfing??? [Insert eye-rolling icon here] I almost got my nose broken once when a surfer kicked me in the face at a Weezer show. We're seeing Wolf Parade next weekend at a venue that oddly allows film cameras but not digital. I asked at a previous show we attended and was told they don't want any videos taken. So what happened as soon as people got in? Out came the itty bitty digis. My nice Olympus, too big to stuff in my bra, spent the evening in the car. I have a smaller camera this time, however! ;) Can't wait to hear "Kissing the Beehive" live.

Stupid, stupid, staff filled with attitude who treat their (over)paying customers like sh*t. Metro is nearly as bad and they are on my boycott list now, one too many bad experiences with the staff there over the years. Last November, at the Robert Pollard show the bouncers seemed to be really enjoying physically ejecting people that they thought were too intoxicated. It did not seem to matter that the show was nearly over and the drunk folks weren't bothering anyone. The Vic has been on my sh*t list since around 2001 when the would not let me use the bathroom on the way out after a Guided By Voices show. My beer-filled bladder was about to burst and I had to pee under the EL tracks. A lot of Chicago venues seem to really take pride in their snotty attitudes toward customers. Noteably execeptions are Schubas, Empty Bottle, Hideout and Double Door. Then again, people in Wisconsin are much nicer, in general and I'm so glad we get so many great shows up here these days!

But great review of the show. I'm dying to see them in Toronto next month. I love that they closed the show with Fancy Claps. These guys deserve all the praise that they get.
