ALLISTer R0x0rz
Dana, Sarah, and I went to the Allister concert tonight at the Agora Ballroom. I had a great time. The Interns, Fall Out Boy, and Don't Look Down were the opening bands. The Interns played first and were pretty good. They said their EP would be out soon. Fall Out Boy from Chicago played next. They are a great live band. Tonight was their last night on this tour, so on their last song the guys from Allister ran out on stage and wrapped duct tape around all of them and threw a few of them into the crowd. I've enjoyed Fall Out Boy both times I have seen them and I'll probably pick up their album Take This to Your Grave when it comes out in May. Don't Look Down played third was was pretty good. Not much else to say about them. Allister was great as I knew they would be. They played about the same set of songs as when they played after Finch. Sarah got their set list so I'll probably post that later. Unfortunately, they didn't play Fraggle Rock. On their last song Fall Out Boy came out to get revenge with duct tape and shaving creme. We all got a little bit of shaving creme on our faces. Then the members of Fall Out Boy were jumping into the crowd constantly, it was pretty insane. Quite a fun night, there were a few kicks to the head by crowd surfers and getting hit in the head with guitars, but it was worth it.
And in case you didn't know Allister does not spell their name like ALLISTer. Let me explain that. After the concert I was down playing pool and I had a white t-shirt on. There is a broken pool cue and Jacob really wanted to write on my shirt, so I let he and Angie write ALLISTer R0x0rz on the back of it. Jacob didn't start the word Allister over far enough, so the er had to be lowercase so it fit.
