I bought a Kanye West ticket this morning! December 3.

My Rolling Stones ticket for next March came in the mail a few weeks ago.

It's like I'm a kid again. I used to go to tons of concerts when I was younger. I like the new/old me.

I totally already posted in this thread, but I got to see Green Day (with Jimmy Eat World) back in September, who are AMAZING live. Up there with U2. Even if you're only a casual Green Day fan (like me), they are SO worth seeing live.

I'm also going to see Bright Eyes in November... and of course U2 in December...which will bring my total to 5 concerts this year. That's nothing compared to most of you, but not bad for a high schooler, eh?

Are you in Urbana-Champaign, or something? Or were all those acts in Chicago, as well? I can't even remember, no more.

I really thought that the Mates of State show at the Canopy Club was sorta ungood...but I loved Saturday Looks Good to Me as an opener (they shoulda headlined). Also, I missed the U-C Sufjan show while seeing Xiu Xiu instead.

Whatever. Just curious. Holla.

They probably are the best Australian band around now aye.

They are a good live band, I don't know about best ever. (from what I have seen on DVD, I should probably see them personally at some point)
