Don’t Touch The Lava or You’ll Die, And Have to Leave

THE BEST CONCERT EVER!!!!

I am officially in love with The Decemberists!!!!

I went to see the Decemberists last night with Christina at the Hamerstein Ballroom. The show was fantastic and it’s too bad it’s over. There were dance contests and singing duels (go house left balcony!) and a small skirmish in the middle of the crowd between and three band memebers and some of the audience that was roped in. AND best of all they sang my favorite song! “Red Right Ankle” There was thrashing about on the stage and throwing of guitars and knocking down of drum kits and piggy backs.

When is it not appropriate to have on stage:

5 guitars (probably more…)
2 violins
2 organs
1 drum kit
1 keyboard
1 slide guitar
1 cello
1 bass guitar
1 upright bass
1 banjo (yessss)
1 acordian (double yessss)

and one thing I couldn’t quite figure out…was it one of those things that creepy men in mustaches play whilst a monkey dances about? All I know is he was turning a crank on some big box hanging around is neck, and it was amazing!

The wonders never ceased. I wish you had been there to see the magic unfold before your very own eyes, my description would never do it justice.
