Shows of the Semester Thus Far. They Were Cool. Part II.

March 6th, 2008
Megafaun and Akron/Family brought everyone a little closer.

Horray for Mallory Greitzer and The Nu Music Committee for setting up a major Love Fest.

Megafaun brought North Carolina to the big city.
Akron/Family brought some soul back to E & L.

It all happened at Load In when a few girls headed out to the loading dock to help 8 or so bearded men unpack their mini vans:

The bands shook everyone's hand and never forgot our names. They smiled and were totally gracious. We even continued to hang out back stage. I kept bringing them random things like Swiss Miss Cocoa Mix and Hot Water Thermases n' shit because I felt people as laid back and chill as these guys really needed something warm.

Megafaun played a beautiful set and got everyone to sing, a choir of 200!
I sang so hard that I pulled/strained my vocal chords and had to see a doctor over spring break.

Akron/Family rocked the crowd as hard as humanly possible:
All of a sudden I was listening to the band and then I was in some sortof dance battle with some kid I barely new.
I'm still not sure if he was cute or not and I don't really remember looking up from our feet.
but it hardly matters because
I won.

And by the end of the night we were worn down to a pile of sweaty hoodies and flannel shirts.
It was all worth it.

Here! Here!
