SPRING BREAK

Spring Break 2012 .... It was filled with ridiculously warm weather, Halo Wars Risk, Rayman Origins, potentially excessive amounts of day drinking, and two really great concerts.

We had wanted to go to EMA, but things never really came together. Then Chris won a pair of tickets from the wonderful Radio K last minute. Due to my misunderstanding of how late Macy's stays open, we ended up at the concert considerably early. Like an hour before the opener.... luckily, we got stools! I love the 7th St. Entry, but man does it get LOUD in there. I'm not really one for loud grunge/punk music, however, the opener Nü Sensae was so much better than I had expected. Of course, EMA herself was wonderful. Her mom was at the show, which was pretty cute. EMA handed a bottle of Jack Daniel's out to the crowd and had people pass it around. Needless to say it was gone in minutes. Just a great show to sit back and watch.

Then there was the Grimes show! Another great show at the entry, but not great spots since it was sold out. We managed to find tickets on craigslist that weren't jacked up in price just a few weeks ahead of time. But where to begin!  The opener, Elite Gymnastics, is a Minnesota band inspired by Korean Pop. It's so nice to see new and interesting things coming out of MN, I would definitely see them again and again. Then there was Born Gold, a Canadian band, who almost stole the show with their crazy light show and dancing. It seemed like some members of Born Gold played with Grimes when she came out? She played a ton of great new stuff off her most recent album plus some old good'ens. Some alone, some with band mates. I would have loved to see more, but she said some of her songs can be overly complicated to perform live.

We almost went to zero concerts over break and ended up at two great shows. Despite being loud and crowded, shows at the Entry always end up seeming dear to my heart. Now, I am reminiscing fondly and trying to avoid reality, ie that my life is consumed by schoolwork.

St. Patrick's Day - Count me IN!
