Last night Nick and I went to the opening night of Lincoln Hall to see Ted Leo + Pharmacists.  It was the first time I think I’ve ever been in a new venue outside of Promo West Pavilion (or whatever retirement home name it has now). The show was good, the drummer was having a bad night breaking drumsticks and smashing drums during the set. By far the best bathroom I’ve seen in a ‘rock venue’.  I was thinking they were going to pump in ‘urine smell’ or something to create that authentic rock & roll feel but this was not the case.

Side Notes:
* I think this is the third time I’ve seen Ted  Leo + Pharmacists (opening for Pearl Jam in Hartford, at River to River Festival in New York and I think at Lollapalooza).
** Nick’s roommate Noah is the bass player for Ted Leo.
