Last night Tom and I were lucky enough to take a break from the craziness that is the end of the semester. Connor stayed with a babysitter while we went to a Death Cab for Cutie concert...can you believe it? They came here to East Lansing. It was like having our own little slice of Seattle. They are such a great band. There music is creative and smart, not to mention the fact that they are great performers. Some of their music makes me tear up though thinking about growing up in the Northwest. One of my fondest memories of their music is how the father of one of my best friends in the whole world used to call them Dead Cat for Katie....oh how we used to roll our eyes at our parents.
The concert took place in the basketball stadium so when we sat down we found ourselves sitting on bleachers amidst a huge group of 18 year old undergrads. Man did that make me feel old. There was absolutely no room so Tom and I went to the ticket counter to see if they could move us back up to the chairs. They told us no but they could place us in the handicapped seating. I guess we looked too old and decrepit to be sitting with all the "kids." So we had our seats changed and ended up sitting on a balcony with chairs that we could move anywhere we wanted and only had to share the place with two other people It was great. We are pulling the handicap card now every time we go see a show!
Happy Spring everybody.
