Seven years in the making and all I can say is that my first Mates of State show was a blast. I was in the front—my elbows were resting on the stage. Jason and Kori are adorable when they make faces at each other when they play. Somehow I have a thing for husband-and-wife-band duos (see also Over the Rhine). They played a generous mix of old and new, even attempting to play a request from the crowd that, unfortunately, Kori couldn’t remember (Along for the Ride, which I love). I took some pics, but I’m in the process of moving, and my camera usb cabley thingy is at the new place while my camera is here.  I’ll post those later.

I’m glad I stayed for Black Kids. I really like their songs, but I don’t know them that well. They put on a damn fine show. I wish I could go to the Black Kids/MoS show tonight at webster hall, but not only do I have class tonight, I have to work tomorrow morning. LAME.

Oh, btw, the Music Hall of Williamsburg is an amazingly nice venue.  Unfortunately you have to traverse through Histperville, USA to get to it….

I think I’ll do it again, now, just for good measure. (gotta get it in while the roomies are gone!)

Also, I can kill you with my brain.
