Numero Twenty Day 1 was nuts:

 

-had never heard Ui before today, the edible I took helped me enjoy their set more

-Tsunami were so much fun

-Chisel were amazing. Ted Leo is a treasure and everyone should go see Chisel on their upcoming tour if they can

-Karate felt much louder than when I saw them play their “second” show back together in Boston. Much shorter set this time around and not closing on This Time Next Year was kind of a bummer but I get it, it’s a long-ass song. Solid set otherwise. I always fawn over how good Gavin is at drums.

-Unwound stole the show for me. I’m very happy I bought tickets to see them in NYC next month. Hoping I get blessed with some flowers next time

That Unwound set was absolutely nuts. Definitely feel a little mislead when it comes to the venue though. I didn’t expect to be breathing in second hand smoke the whole time lol. Seeing Codeine is gonna be weird there but I absolutely can’t wait, especially since the day 2 lineup is 10x more stacked than day 1 imo. Worth the flight down.

Not trying to always be a complainer but was a bit surprised since Numero made the venue and event sound a bit more classy (?) than it turned out to be. I didn’t really mind much but don’t know why they were calling it “less of a festival and more than a work of art” even though it was in a dilapidated ass building that smelled like my chainsmoking grandparent’s house.

Yeah, my section reeked of whisky. I was honestly happy Unwound got the crowd to swarm the stage, I was getting annoyed with sitting the entire time haha. And the fact that it was so dingy was cool, mainly because security didn’t care that I brought in my backpack (for medical purposes)

The year before last, September, 21, we went to see Clapton in Nashville.  It was an expensive trip in terms of both dollars and time.  But we reasoned, at his age, how many more chances will we have to see him.  So we made a vacation to Nashville around the concert.  It's a 2 day drive for us each way.  But a fun trip; Nashville is such a fun city.  Clapton's concert was the greatest we had ever seen.

 

Last  year we went to see Clapton in Chicago in September.  We love Chicago and again, made a vacation out of it.   This time a day drive each way.  But we reasoned, well, you know.   Clapton's concert was even better.  And we hit all the Chicago restaurants and shopping.

 

Tickets for Clapton in Denver in August just went on sale last Friday at 10 AM.  But we reasoned, well, again, you know😉

Just bought a ticket to see Matt Talbott (of Hum) play a living room in a few weeks. I am beyond excited

Me and a buddy did this a few years back / it was a great show as long as you go in knowing (I assume this has not changed) that he’s only playing solo material + 1 Centaur song (+1 cover).

I'm totally okay with that! 

Good deal! Like I said, it was a great show and an amazing opportunity we couldn’t miss. Matt was super nice and chill also.

 

We’ve seen Dave Bazan / Pedro the Lion a couple times via Undertow’s living room show setup, and he’s (unsurprisingly) awesome in the uber-small setting as well.

Those shows are cool. I attended one few years ago with Eric Bachmann from Crooked Fingers/Archers of Loaf.

Nice. I’d love to catch him, but he hasn’t come by here yet - they just announced a new run for him that *also* doesn’t come through here, but there are apparently October dates forthcoming still…
