Day one is over and yes, we’re goddamn exhausted but I’m still going to make Henry give his signature half a sentence review of the bands we saw today. Please note this Henry’s opinion is not a reflection of my own.
- Tigers Jaw: “Nothing Special.”
- Citizen: “They’re good…? That’s it right this second.”
- Touché Amore: “They weren’t too bad.” (WOW, this one shocked me because he hates this type of music and anytime I played their records st home he gets irritated.)
- Jule Vera: “Good. It wasn’t bad. I would go see her again….but not by myself.” (FYI it’s a band not a girl.)
- Set Your Goals (or as Henry calls them “Is this the big guy and little guy?): “Eh. I don’t like them live.”
- Somos: “Uh, didn’t like them.”
- Glassjaw: “Mmm. no.”
- Jimmy Eat World: “Yeah. I did like them but also I like them anyway so…” (?????)
- Basement: “Hold on, I’m eating. I would see them again. They were good.”
- Pierce the Veil: “They’re the same every time. Though they’re getting a little….showy. I like them, but….I don’t know.”
Food: “I had salt & vinegar fries which were not that bad. Oh I had paella from Man with a Pan. Vegetable paella.”
(Guys Henry is a vegetarian now I think.)
Uber drivers: “The first one I don’t think has ever driven anyway, apparently. And the second one, he was a nice guy.”
(If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Henry over the years, it’s that he hates being a passenger and nothing exacerbates that more than using Uber and Lyft.)
Day One summary: “It was very tiring and I don’t want to do it again.”
