the middle-aged square guy

last week we went to the modest mouse concert...some highlights

  • rilo kiley opening - with jenny lewis not only singing, but playing the guitar, bass, keyboard, and cowbell (not all at the same time).
  • dan feeling like the middle-aged square guy amongst the mostly young crowd
  • seeing people older than me there
  • hearing the "cool" teenage boys scream like little girls when modest mouse came on stage
  • watching the little nerdy guy in the green shirt do the "twist" in the middle of a mosh pit
  • getting a night out away from our 2 (yes 2!) kids - thanks mom
  • 2 drummers in matching stripey tank-tops
  • sometimes three drummers plus a guy playing marracas
  • modest mouse putting on a great show

this is a video from a dashboard - one of modest mouse's more recent songs. i thought this video was also appropriate for today (international talk like a pirate day).
