one of the coolest concerts i’ve been to was the modest mouse show at the house of blues in chicago about 6 years ago (thus the picture… house of blues is at the bottom of this building). my daughter has been a modest mouse fan since she was 3. now 13, she’s old enough to go to the concert with me next wednesday. she found out i got her tickets tonight and she was blown away. the show is at marquee here in phoenix – a great place to see your first show.  i believe tickets are still on sale if you want to meet us there. it’s the second tour since the new album so hopefully they’ll play some of the older tracks this time around. mimicking birds (who i’ve only found out out about because of the show) is opening for them and i’m really digging the “album”. lyrically, he reminds me of early modest mouse albums. 

here are some older modest mouse tracks i’d love to here… 

Dramamine (This is a Long Drive… 1996)

One of the most recognizable buildings in chicago. Due to the large number of photos of these buildings, I wanted to take a different tact. Just showing one of the buildings, blowing out most of the sky and having fun with the coloring.

We had 9th row, left field seats! There is a purity and a passion at this ballpark that I’ve seen no where else. And oh yes, they won!
