Come and gone.

The Decemberists have come to Minneapolis and are now gone. I got a t-shirt. I got to chat with some of the band. I got heat stroke from the insane temperatures inside the 400 Bar (not my favorite venue). And I got to listen to some of the other concert goers make idiot-speak. My favorite quote of the evening (said with utter conviction):

"No, "Jack and Diane" is the poor man's "Glory Days".
- Girl in intentionally ratty clothing philosophising about (I'm assuming) John Melloncamp and Bruce Springsteen. I'd explain what the hell she meant if their conversation had any logic to it whatsoever.

Oh, and the show was great. They are still my current favorite band. At least the place was packed, so they should have good reason to come back again. This is the best pic I could get on my crappy camera phone:
