Part Deux . . . .
After waking up from my sleep around 3 pm or so the next day, I grab my phone. I left my CD they autographed for me in their tent, so I called 'em & was hoping they could mail me another or something. I also was thinking seeing Silversun Pickups in a theater has to be great, so I get myself psyched up to do it one mo' 'gin. Called up the band, they said I'm on their list plus one. Couldn't find anyone to go with, so I go it alone. Walked in 30 mins or so before they start. Saw Nikki briefly before the show, she was cool as a fan, greeted me with a hug like we actually know each other. Thanked me for coming out. She said "Sorry" about my lost CD, and that they would be glad to get me another. Anyway, they killed it last night. "Rusted Wheel" was great, "Lazy Eye" was :eek: , and the whole show was more or less amazing. Pause for pics . . . .

They all came around to sign my CD for me, and on top of that gave me my $10 back because I bought a second one. That blew my mind. How can they be that fuckin' cool??? They invite me backstage for beer & what not. We're all just hangin' out. We end up singing New Edition songs, listening to some Prince, and other shit. Sat around, listened to some music, Played some songs off my iPod for 'em. In case you were wondering: 1)The Police -
The Bed's Too Big Without You, 2) Arcade Fire -
No Cars Go, & 3) Pixies -
Debaser. Before I knew it, almost 2 hours had flown by & they were tired plus ready to go back to the hotel. I told the band & their tour manager that they gotta swing through the 9:30 Club when they get a chance. They told me that it's the only club they haven't played in DC yet. It was nothing short of a privelege to hang out with them. They treated me like family, & I'm more than proud to say I'm a fan of theirs. I told them I will tell everyone I know about how great of a new band they are. Not only are they the best (my opinion) new group out there, but they're genuinely good people. They officially have a fan for life. Brian, Nikki, Joey (SUPER good dude), Chris (amazing fuckin' drummer), Dave, McRae, thank you all for the experience of a FUCKIN' lifetime. Now I'm done. Thanks for reading. I fuckin' LOVE music . . .
