80 minutes set? pretty weak Ted   :mad:  
 
 nice chatting w/ you Sal

[thirsty moore]

That wasn't such a bad gig, if you ignored Timony and Radio 4.  Holy christ he's got to work on new openers.  
 
 I still contend Hearts of Oak and Biomusicology are his best songs.

great night, but mostly because of the company.......cheers guys
 
 i love ted leo.........but that was definatly lacking the energy of previous shows......

i love ted leo.........but that was definatly lacking the energy of previous shows......

I agree, but it can be attributed to:
 
 1) We were distracted by the huge amount of traffic generated by those fucks in front of us who couldn't stay in one spot for more than 30 seconds
 
 2) The fact that Ted Leo looked a lot like
   John C. McGinley from our vantage point way in the back.
 
 I agree though, good times.  I didn't need to drink 50 rounds at DC9, though.  Hating myself this morning.

I am hating you as well this morning
 
 DC9 was pretty annoying last night, they were turning down all the gbv songs when they came on the jukebox and turning up all the hip hop, fuck that

hip-hop sounds better when its blaring loud so it really sounds like the dude is yelling at you!
 
   it sounds even better when its really loud and the bass thumps the metal frame of your cheap Japanese car. i love that sweet vibrating hum.....

i really liked the show from where i was. it's always a fun concert every time i see him. though it is strange seeing him at the 930 when i've seen him at the black cat a half dozen times. there was definitely a split crowd though-those that were dedicated fans (standing near me thankfully), and those that were jumping on the bandwagon for whatever reason-like the gobs of obnoxious girls all standing around like they were at an intermediate school dance. but hell, what are you gonna do?
 
 great version of "six months in a leaky boat."

[jkeisenh]

where were you guys?  tbmtt and I got to DC9 at 930 and nobody was there...
 
 we ended up standing at the bar near Food Food, which is fine, since I could stash my *huge* bag under the bar.  there was a group of frat/sorority types standing near us that had to be given the evil eye many, many times for talking.  but such is life.
 
 i had an awesome time.  teddy is always fun.  but the crowd was dead and clearly didn't get it.
 
 the highlight for the night was punching one of the abnoxious talky girls in the face (by mistake) while dancing.  Oops, sorry about that.

we were at DC9 after the show
 
 as far as the show goes, i was a little disappointed he was doing the same covers, but suspect device sounded great

Ted was great but I was left with one question last night- Was that prick standing in front of me with the flipped up collar wearing "topsiders" or "bluchers?" I always confuse those things.

Is abnoxious defined as a girl that wears too short of a shirt?

Bluchers isn't something tossed around in most conversations.  I have to ask, how is it you know this term?

No, abnoxious is defined as standing in the front of the crowd (near food food, actually) and talking through *every* song, including the ones that you shout "I love this song!" to.
