really good show! i was in the pit with a white 'billikens' shirt (my college mascot).
yes, the pit stank. me and the lady friend walked down and immediately recognized the smell of wet shoes. it's what bars smell like after they banned smoking.
yes, ben used to be a little heavier. every time i see him live it appears that he has lost weight. of course, it could be all water weight -- that dude can sweat. he was drenched by the end of the third song).
i also felt really old there. i kept watching the text messages on the big billboard as they wished people a "happy 15th birthday." also, it felt like a lot of concert n00bs. "one more song!" -- it's like no one knows what a proper encore is!
the show was great, though, i thought. rogue wave sounded good although zach looked kind of pissed at first. the new death cab stuff sounds good but i was bummed not to hear "your new twin sized bed" or "we looked like giants."
also, it was hot as balls.
