The Weakerthans!!

Yeah I know, the concert was on the 19th and so this post is a good 11 or so days overdue. I apologize. However, it was my first official concert experience and its definitely worth a blog.

The day started off a little shakey. I pulled an all nighter studying for my "Business and Government" final. My prof for that class would make Hitler look like choir boy. She is relentless and has completely unrealistic demands. Anyways, i wrote that final, made sure my last two points started with a "F" and "U" if you read it vertically. It would be my last passive-aggressive commentary about her class.

Anyways, i think i tried to sleep a bit... i dunno, things get hazy without sleep.

Pat called to see if i wanted to head off to Moose Jaw with him to pick up Jen... I told him that i should probably get some studying done before i headed to the concert. In retrospect i should have just went. I spent three hours or so staring at my book, trying to will myself to learn.

We headed to the concert @ 9-10. I'm not to sure on the accuracy of this timeline. When we got there, i realized i was dressed completely inappropriately. The theme of the day was black. U had to have a black t-shirt on, hoodie, some form of hoodie, or a get-up straight out of value-village. Another prerequisite was that your shirt/hoodie must have a band logo or some type of socio-political commentary. Oh, there's me, in my light grey Gap t-shirt and my Old Navy jeans-corporate whore style.

Moving on. The show started out with a new band named Darling. I honestly preferred the song Dagen sang, as opposed to any of the songs their lead singer sang. The constantines were up next. They rocked out hard. Great energy from a great band. But i wasn't really the mood for hard-rock that night... which made me want their segment to end. However, they get a thumbs up from me.

Than The Weakerthans popped on - WOW! They were awesome... stellar! I wish i could explain in words... but lets face it, an experience like this is better left unblemished in my mind, and i'm not about to butcher with rudimentary words and sentences. It's something you really had to be there. One thing i can tell you is that this concert is earmarked in my life forever. It will be used as a reference, a landmark for other memories to come.
