Just got back from the Arcade Fire concert at First Avenue tonight. It was an amazing concert. They have 8-12 people up on stage for every song, and they don’t hold back. The crowd was dancing and grooving, singing along to every song.

Arcade Fire Ticket, Back<\/p>\n

After the show, I played frogger with the moving mass of people and made my way over to the table selling t-shirts. At the table was none other than the violinist for the band, whose name is Sarah. She signed my ticket for me.<\/p>\n

First of all, what band that plays before packed audiences and on national television has their band members come over and sell t-shirts after the show?<\/p>\n

Secondly, I was trying to coach myself to say something all cool and poetic or something, but what came out was: “That was an awesome performance, I can’t wait to hear your new CD.”<\/p>\n

Fine, I guess, but I should’ve said, “It’s awesome that you sing without a microphone up there.”<\/p>\n

Oh well, members of the Arcade Fire, if you read random websites, I enjoyed your show, and I hope you always play as hard as you did tonight.<\/p>\n
