Eddie Vedder at the Auditorium Theatre

Last night I went with Nick, Dom & Kelly to the Eddie Vedder show at Auditorium Theatre.  Nick and I had seats in Row B of the second balconly which basically means in the rafters with a bar directly in front of you at eye level.  After watching most of the opener we headed back down stairs for a drink and then decided to try and stand at the back of the second balconly instead of going back to our seats in row B.  We managed to find a couple of random chairs and hung out there with a much better veiw 20 rows behind where are seats were.  Of course everyone kept asking where we got the chairs and we could only respond that we brought them from home.

The show was great.  I was aware of the douche bag crowds showed up during this tour but I think we probably had one of the better ones.  To kick off the show Eddie started explaining to the crowd how Milwakee was full of assholes and he says something along these lines:

There’s a band called Pearl Jam, I’ve been writing their set lists for about 17 years.  Don’t yell any requests because you guys are fucking amateurs.

Then he went on about how he doesn’t even know the shit he’s going to play tonight.  Which led to covering Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.

Nick and I ended up heading down to the front of the theater for the final encore, hence the good photographs.

10 Year High School Reunion

Saturday night was my ten year high school reunion and as you can imagine it was awesome.  I’m not sure how most 10 year reunions go but Franklin Heights 10 year reunions are always awesome.  We had a great turnout, possibly 50 people which is more than any of us organizing the event thought was possible.  we had some kickass name tags with our senior pictures, there were some pretty decent door prizes and the decorations were top notch.

A good time was had by all (except for one particular person who actually tried to start a fight, which is so westside).

Tapes 'N Tapes at the Metro.

Tapes 'N TapesTapes 'N Tapes

After hockey on Friday night we headed to the Metro to see Tapes ‘N Tapes. There were several opening bands that we took the liberty to skip and Tapes didn’t come on until after 10pm so the timing was perfect.  The show was fast and short but really good. Their drummer was awesome to watch but I could have done without the keyboardist/horn blower who really served no purpose.  The two previous times I’ve seen Tapes were outdoors at Lollapalooza and the Siren Festival.  I think the seeing them at the Metro was the best yet.

And of course we got to watch the show with the Rocker.
