Mates of State show last night was great. Nick Thune's stand up was funny as hell, and worked perfectly in a small club enviroment opening for bands. He had a lot of crowd interaction and his trademark guitar playing/joke making. Even the jokes i recently heard on his myspace page killed, and many were just enough different from what I had already heard to make me laugh. Free Energy were ok. I watched them on the screen by the bar. The music didnt really do it for me. Seemed like they were having fun though. Mates of State were excellent like always. They played about 12 songs. Most were either from Rearrange Us and their new cover album Crushes, along with a couple of classics. I wish they were doing a dc show on this tour as well, but I guess seeing them once this year will tide me over. All in all a good night, but damn i wish it had been a weekend night.
