What's the Dillio?

On Wednesday last week Lynn, Dana, and I went to see Mest, Fall Out Boy, Matchbook Romance, and Dynamite Boy at The Odeon. This was my first time at The Odeon and this was Lynn's first "punk" concert. Too quote Mike when I told him that on AIM: "How cute :D". We got to The Odeon around 6:00 and there was already a pretty long line outside. The doors were supposed to open at 6:30, but we didn't actually get in until 6:45 or a little later. Overall I'd say The Odeon is about the same size as The Agora Theater, and there were probably a good couple hundred people at the show. We started out pretty much in the center of the stage, and fairly close to the front, unfortunately though a circle pit opened up right next to us during Dynamite Boy's set, so we ended up moving to the right side of the stage and a little further back. All the bands put on a good show, though I was mainly there to see Fall Out Boy and Mest. Matchbook Romance was good, but I hadn't heard many of there songs and it's always more enjoyable when you know the words and can sing along. I was really glad they played The Greatest Fall Of All Time since that was one of their songs I actually know, and it's a good song. Fall Out Boy put on a good set as always. They're a really fun band to see live. Mest was also really good. They opened with Until I Met You, which I guessed they would since they opened with that at the Good Charlotte show, and it's its the first track on their new album. I really like the song and it does make a great opener since its fast and catchy. My other favorite songs they did were Hotel Room, Drawing Board, and the closer Cadillac ("Jump! Jump!"). The only disappointment was they didn't play What's the Dillio?. I had a good time, and Lynn said she also enjoyed it. The last concert I had been too was in October, so it was nice to get to a concert again, and I'm looking forward to a bunch of upcoming concerts.
