I lied last time when I said I'd be writing about my rich inner life. Instead, it is time for another Semi Precious Weapons concert!I'm actually telling this story backwards, because my evening started with a sitcom taping, but I figure I can talk about that later, so let's jump into another trip to The Viper Room.
I rode my bike over to the Viper Room, which is completely located in my village, but also I doubt it is a big bicycle destination. I thought the band would be going on at like nine, but I don't know why I thought that. They tweeted something sort of to that effect, but bands never go on when they say they will. Right? That's a thing?
This was my first time flying solo at a SPW concert, so I was a little nervous -- the last time I went to a concert on my own, it was a Murs concert, and I was embarrassed the whole time. Here is the key, I am discovering, to not feeling completely like an idiot everywhere I go: I am dressing intentionally inappropriate for every occasion. I attended this concert, as I am all concerts forever, dressed like Benjy Stone.The opening acts were pretty great, actually, and rocked my ears out. All the bands had a few fans, but most of the people there were there for Semi Precious Weapons, who came on at like ten or eleven or something like that. And they were excellent.
They played a few of their newer songs, which I TOTALLY knew a bunch of lyrics to because this was my fifth concert of theirs (this is actually the case). So, you know, I was pretty cool. A lady insisted on getting a picture of me with maybe her family? and then called me her friend for the rest of the night. I never got her name.
They've been recording their album this past week, and you guys they have some really great songs on it (based on what they said would make it to the album). I missed their concert on Wednesday because I was working, but they're opening for Lady Gaga on a huge tour, which means I will probably not be affording tickets to future shows of theirs?
After the show, I went up to Justin to say hi, and he was sweet as always, and encouraged me to get some people dancing during the next act. I told him I would, but it was getting late, so I rode my bike home instead. I cannot wait for their new album.
