Gomez w/ Ben Kweller (Webster Hall 3/8/07)

Tonight I had tickets to two shows, and well it kind of stunk because I only wanted to go to one of them, and bought the others out of haste. I got tickets to the Gomez show while in china, and I thought they'd sell out and I could flip a profit on this lousy show; the next show I got tickets for was The Walkmen down @ the Bowery, this show sold out, and it was the one I wanted to go to. I was able to sell off The Walkmen tickets and I’ll see them again in April when they are back touring with the Kaiser Chiefs. anyway, I headed up to Webster hall for the show, doors were at 7:30 and I was in no rush, cause well music was not my speed, I arrived around 8:15 and went to look to unload my two extra tickets, I stood out there offering my tickets away for free, I had no takers, so the friend I was with went and asked the homeless guy across the street if he wanted to come to the show for free, and to my surprise he took us up on the offer, it was so damn funny to see this guy walking around the venue, you just have to picture a homeless guy at a concert.

so I got to the main floor at around 9:00 and it was more crowded then I had anticipated, I mean I didn’t know that Ben Kweller was so popular, anyway I made my way to the Balcony and found myself a nice spot I can take pictures from, and stood through a dreadful Ben Kweller act, Gomez went on about 25 minutes late @ 10:25 and I like there latest album How We Operate , so I knew the song they opened with, and a few afterwards, hated all there acoustic songs, but the I rather enjoyed the non-acoustic songs. I left around 11:15 after I got fed up with the acoustic song they were doing, I figured I’ll cut my losses and get home early and get some well deserved shut eye.


anyway I am looking forward to the Tea Leaf Green and Birdmonster shows later in the month (3/24 and 3/31 respectively) and I really cant wait until Bonnaroo only 97 days left.... and I cant wait...


good night all
