the Canadian Brass

...was the last musical act I saw perform at the Ryman. So, obviously my last impression of the place was nothing spectacular. However, yesterday morning Johnna called and asked me if i wanted two (2) tickets to Belle & Sebastian and the New Pornographers playing that night. this was an enticing offer considering Jess and I had been wanting to go there for several concerts last year but it was just too freakin' expensive ($50 a piece). Well, perhaps it was the fact that the tickets were free, but it was incredible. Anything you can go see at the Ryman (and afford), go. It's like watching a rock concert in an old church. The history of the place alone is incredible; the people who've played there. Both bands said how awesome it was and how honored they were to be playing there. well anyway, the shows were great. we had great seats in the balcony (which i'd recommend) and you could see everything. we didn't bring the camera (because we're doofuses) so i dont have any pictures, but you can imagine if i did, eh!?

that's all. i feel wasted (literally). i have no energy and just want to go to sleep and never wake up. so tired.
