modest mouse

such an epic fucking concert. i've been wanting to see this band for years, since the time i first watched 'scumbag' and heard 'float on' in mike gratz's part. unfortunately i have no photos to remember this night by but heres how it went: louie, joey, and i head down to south beach for the show, blasting modest mouse tunes all the way and predicting which songs they would and would not play. we're in south beach a couple hours before the show starts so we drink some brews on the beach and go swimming. once we get in to the place, joey spots his girlfriend and big steve and a couple of girls i'm semi-friends with are there. josh and cody then show up just before modest mouse is about to come on and we spot johan but he doesn't see us. they open up with 'trailer trash' and proceed to rock the fucking place down. i enjoyed pretty much every song, but some highlights were: doin' the cockroach, paper thin walls, satin in a coffin, tiny cities made of ashes, bury me with it, the view, the good times are killing me, trucker's atlas, fire it up, dramamine, little motel, and finally dashboard (mostly because the whole audience went wild during this song and we were dancing like rabid orangutans.

after every song was over someone would scream "SHIT LUCK!!" but it never got played. all in all it was a great show. josh and me wrestled in the parking lot shirtless afterwards and did other shenanigans such as putting shopping carts in the middle of one-lane roads. louie left for tampa the next day, and i slept through work.
