I just got back from seeing The Decemberists with Bludroses. The show kicked ass. There were some technical difficulties with the sound during the show, so they ended with 2 "unplugged" encores. They should play unplugged more often.

During the show, I thought it'd be cute to broadcast it to Tina, who wasn't able to come to the show. So I called her on my cell, after warning her about it with IMs/SMSs. I called her and left my phone in my front shirt pocket for much of the show, taking occasional photos with it, while Tina listened on. She told me later that she was at a Friendly's at the time, so she curled up in a corner and listened.

On the way home, trains near the venue were blocked due to an automobile that managed to make its way onto the tracks. It was smack in the middle, seemingly two wheels on inbound tracks and two on outbound. There was no/little obvious damage to the car, so it was probably just a very stupid driver who made a wrong turn. We took a bus instead and eventually made our way to Kenmore and caught the last train home.

Afterthought: On the way to the concert, I bumped into Susannah on the train. Seeing her is always interesting, as she's in that group of people who I see online more than in real life. It's as though we know each other better than we do, due to Internet-based communication.
