after years or waiting for him to go back on tour, i finally got to see sufjan stevens in concert last night.
it was magical.
the 400 bar is such a small venue so tickets were uber limited. i think they set the limit at even less than capacity because despite there being a lot of people there, i've seen it way more full. his music has such an intimate feel to it though that it makes sense they'd only wants so many people there. sets the right mood and such.
he played a lot of new music, so here's hoping there's another album in the works.
it was great. sufjan has such a great stage presence. he was funny, sometimes in a little self-deprecating sort of way. he clearly enjoys what he does and i love it.
yayy sufjan.
in other news, i'm watching this show accidentally on purpose just because it happens to be on after how i met your mother. and it's not a bad show i guess. it's about a woman who gets knocked up after a one-night stand and the guy moves in with her, yadda yadda. it's just that that is the only plot of the show. in the very first episode they meet, do it, she finds out she's pregnant, and he moves in. by the time the season is over the baby will be born, and then what? it's going to be a show about them raising the baby, obviously, but come on. it's going to be about how the two of them fall in love. problem is, they already like each other just fine. no conflict!
i just don't see the show lasting very long. i don't think it was planned out very well.
oh well.
bwfore i left work today i requested friday off for a quick there-and-back-in-one-day trip to wisconsin for my uncle's memorial. he didn't want a funeral; i think we're just going to do a dinner or something and then scatter his ashes on the river. i guess that's what he requested in his will, so there you go.
it got cold fast. no good. i don't do winter very well.
