I got back from Cleveland last night at about 4:30... The concert was AMAZING... Liz and myself couldn't have been standing more than 20 feet from Ben Gibbard... They played all of their new stuff (Except for "The ice is getting thinner", which made me unhappy)... It was downpoaring when we got there... I even managed to soak Liz from the knees down in a big puddle!... We got into the pavilion and watched the opening band "Rouge Wave"... They were very good, and I fell in love with their drummer, quite possibly the most energetic musician I have ever seen... Death Cab was greeted by about 150 screaming indie kids, and all their parents bored in the bleachers... By half way through the concert Ben Gibbard was so soaked in sweat that every time he moved sweat flew in every direction... The commentary from Ben was good, odd, but good... By the end of the concert both of us were exhausted from dancing to much... But our energy was quickly renewed as we went on the hunt for the parking lot T-shirt guy... You know, the guy outside of every concert selling the leftover T-shirts for $1o... We were however unable to find him... I am fairly certain that Liz doesn't believe in the T-shirt guy, but he does exist... And I will prove it to her one day... Afterwards we got lost several times, during a most pleasant drive home... I dropped her off at home, and waied around for her mom to get back, and didn't leave till about 3:15...
The entire night was absolute magic... I only wish it wouldn't have had to end...

it was an amazing concert, really can't thank you enough for taking me. and i'm glad to hear you're as big of a death cab junkie as i am, they'll remain my favorite band for forever, probably. =] (oh, yea, the t-shirt guy is a total hallucination. just face it. he wasn't there. maybe it's the crack?) lol.
not quite sure what to say currently. but hey! you should post that new piece you've been working on. =]
