If I don't find anyone to trade then I will have one ticket to sell for Sunday. I can go, but my brother can't, which is why I'm trying to flip them for Friday.
Boston shows were a blast. Band just seems to be having so much fun. The emonight after-party was... strange. My friend and I bought tickets to it after a few drinks. Ian looked miserable during it, haha
I went by myself on night 2 and had a blast. Was wondering how the after party would be. I haven't attended an emo night yet.
Just got back from driving 6 hours to NYC on Friday....seeing both shows at Irving Plaza on Saturday and Sunday...and now back home and back to reality/work tomorrow early morning. Exhausted but it was SO WORTH IT! One of the best weekends of my entire life. It's amazing to me how much energy and how much fun they still look like they are constantly having on stage after 20 years.

Probably like $8? I'm not sure. But based on past purchases I've made that guess seems right. Still it'd be under face value. Edit: it's $6.10, making it $24.10. Not bad. I think the day one was over $35 with fees.
im sure ive posted this in the past but whatever. NFG and the way they market themselves and their tours is AMAZING. Like, so many bands can learn and should learn from these guys because somehow and someway they always find a way to make their tours seem interesting...unique...cool..different... MUST SEE. even though they're always touring! and they sprinkle in new material all the time! They mix nostalgia, old, and new SO fucking good! geniuses
Very mixed on the literal mixing of the albums in the set. I get it was to keep people the whole show and I def liked the closing with My Friends Over You at the first NYC show, but it sucked a lot to have people talk over the best Coming Home songs instead of just leaving, or having ten people shove past you for a Sticks and Stones song, just to shove to the back during the Coming Home songs and repeat that the whole set
The mixing of the set list works really well. I actually kind of preferred it and I did not expect to feel that way. I've seen some of the records performed in order, so it was nice not knowing what would play next. I was at the ST/S&S show last night. You can guess the skeleton of the set. Open with Understatement and Better Off Dead. End the set with Hit or Miss and close the encore with Friends. Anyone who is doubting just needs to go watch it for themselves. As a skeptic going in I really liked how they did it.
I am 31 years old and I was one of those people pushing past you multiple times during the show at Irving Plaza. Never too old to run around at a NFG show.
