tonight was so perfect

highlights, because after i typed out everything in my head i realized no one could possibly care that much:

• we got there early and got invited in for sound check. holy fuck. kevin played jealous guy. there were six of us just sitting there, awkwardly clapping. then holding down the laughter. pretty sure i died.
• gobotron played. robert was adorable and made “you had to be there” jokes and covered fuck and run beautifully.
• kevin played tapdance second and played a version of carnival better than that on the album (i didn’t know that was possible, either), and yelled until his forehead vein popped out, which is always good.
• thanklin franklin. kevin devine is a GOD.
• andy is beardy and perfect. he rapped. he talked shit to douchebags in the crowd. they made sarcastic comments about how brand new is doing so many great things with their time off. he covered the mountain goats. i died again. all of them together are GENIUS. i will never be over it, ever.
• met kevin devine again. ultimately, went way more smoothly than last time. SWEETEST MAN EVER. we took a picture or three. i had my arm around him for a good 30 seconds. i really don’t know how i’m still alive.
