Whee! Chimps!

Just wanted to quick post before I go. Off to try and see if I can get into the Barenaked Ladies concert with dear friend Kaija! Whee!

Post concert update: It was an excellent show. Barenaked Ladies have a wonderful live show that I do think people should check out. They also had a nice revamping of One Week as a bluegrassy song -- very cool. The band has a wonderful sense of humor that's missing at times at concerts. Not to mention, the easy rappaport they have with the audience is great. The whole trivia bit pitting an audience member against a crew person was fun, as well as the Red vs. Blue video bits, dancing and freestyle rapping. There's just so many details to mull over, it's hard to pick out the best ones.

Overall, there was two encores, wonderful music and good company. Now if there was a way to have muzzled the people behind me -- who were talking loudly about marriage, beer, Lodi, how certain songs sucked and random shit as well as whistling at an earsplitting volume, it would be a perfect concert. If someone is talking so loudly that you can't hear the friggin' lead singer talk into a microphone that's attached to a mega-jillion volt sound system, they are officially an asshole.
