Seriously, that concert and the trip down there and everything, it was all worth it just for that 2 minutes.

I'm going to quote it all the time now, I'm not even kidding. Nobody will understand - but nobody will bother me eeder.

EDIT: realized I haven't said anything about my concert experience. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet the band - was busy visiting the people I stayed with before and after the show. But I did get to sit on the stage during the acoustic set (OMG so close to them!) and when Damian ran through the crowd during the ELO cover, he got out to the aisle literally right in front of me, if I'd been sitting one row forward I could have touched him. (Note: this sounds really obsessive. Haha. When I told my boyfriend, he was more than a little weirded out about how happy that made me...) I was also only about 6 seats away from catching Dan's drumstick at the end. Ack, so close!

One of my favorite bits of the night was when Damian mentioned that they hadn't played any shows in a month. "So, Butler, you're like a rock oasis in our desert." *cheering* "Does Butler have a Latin motto?" *somebody screams Sexy!* "Sexy? Sexy is your Latin motto?" *laughter* "Because if you don't have one, I think 'Butler: Rock Oasis' - only Latinized - would make a great motto."

It was pretty much an awesome concert. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the one at Notre Dame for a couple reasons: ND was my first OK Go experience, so it's obviously more special; I didn't go with anyone to Butler, and it's not as cool seeing concerts alone; the ND show was in a sports arena and seating involved bleachers and folding chairs on the floor, which I think creates a different atmosphere than a performing arts center; and after the ND show my now-boyfriend and I started dating. That kind of topped the night off nicely. But, the Butler show was still awesome. And totally worth it.

The boys were fuckinawesome, and it is safe to say that my concert/post concert experience on October 26, 2007 will be the best of my life.

sackrose55

totally agree beasle. last time i saw them was when they were opening for the fray in columbus. it was good don't get me wrong. but the atmosphere wasnt great. this concert just blew me away. i CANNOT wait to see them again. i told all my friends i am dragging them along with me next time because they are missing out on life.

btw beasle, sorry i dont know your name, your avatar is one of my favorite pictures of damian ever!

Editing post to add a link to a review of the show. The funniest bit to me is that they use the word "u.tilize"

I am with you on that. Their grammar is NOT fucking impeccable, but looking past that, the review wasn't bad.



Thanks for the welcome DJRose
