I saw a band called The Netherfriends. Mild entertainment ensued.

I'm starting this post without absolutely no idea of what I'm going to write about, but I have an hour to kill and I'm in the mood to write...

Concert:
I went to a free show last night at Reggie's Rock House in the city. The venue was pretty nice - a small room that fit a couple hundred I'd guess. The sound was alright too and I was only one row from the stage which was sweet. Pet Lions, The Netherfriends, and Maps & Atlases played in that order. Pet Lions didn't sound that impressive live compared to some of their songs I heard online. They were a typical four piece indie-pop band with a fairly boring sounding lead singer. Netherfriends, despite having one of the worst band names ever, was a little better. Their singer played synth, guitar, percussion, ann samples. Their drummer was awesome. And I still don't know what their third guy was doing the whole time. He had a table of various precussion instruments, but I didn't hear any of them and I could barely hear is background vocals. The last band, Maps & Atlases, was a math rock group. I know what math rock sounds like, but it's hard to descibe to someone who has never heard it. Wikipedia attempts. They had a really polished sound and put on a good show. Also, their lead singer acted like how Mr. Rogers would act if he were a front man. He didn't really talk at all between songs aside from things like "Thanks a bunch guys" "Thanks for coming along tonight" and all with an eerily calm smile.

Things that sucked about my concert going experience:
1. Having to run from the red line stop on state street to union station to catch the last train of the night because my brother took his sweet ass time leaving the concert.
2. I had two songs stuck in my head the entire night, and both were from a band that wasn't playing.
P.S. - The video from that first link is one of the coolest music videos I've seen in a while.

Fishing:
My brother and I tried to go fishing yesterday and failed miserably. I bought a new rod/reel and the reel didn't live up to its name. My brother lost two of the three bobbers within 15 minutes, and that was that. Also, I think we may be the first two people to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to go fishing and then see a 10pm concert at Reggie's Rock House on the same day. If somebody reading this can make sure that this fact is put in my obituary, I would very much appreciate it.

Graduating College:
I do this in two days. I still don't have a clue what I'm going to do after though. Well, I'm going to a dinner at a restaurant after, but that's more of a short term thing. I should probably start figuring out what comes after the restaurant...
