I went to see Squeeze last night at the Ebell Theater and, as always, they put on an amazing show. It actually wasn't the entire band, but a "Difford and Tilbrook" show, but it was still awesome. I've never been to that venue before and it's really cool.

I was fortunate enough to be able to buy a ticket from a friend of mine that turned out to be front row center, which I normally don't like, but worked out very well for this gig. There was actually an empty seat next to me for a while, so I was going to get my friend to come-up and sit there after the intermission, but some dude beat me to it. He was okay to sit next to, I guess, but he got kinda sloppy once he started drinking straight from the plastic bottle he had of either vodka or white rum (I couldn't tell which it was).  It was a booze-free show, so I'm surprised he was able to sneak it in. He also got kinda distracting when he would take pictures (he flailed his arms a bit). I know it's nice to have photos, but jeez, enjoy the show! Neil Finn once made a speech about that. People are so busy taking pictures to remember a show by that they miss the show and the only memories they have are of taking pictures. I agree wholeheartedly!!!

It was nice to see some of my old "concert" friends. I hardly ever go to shows anymore, so when I do, it's good to catch-up. It seems so long ago that I used to go see bands at least once a week.... It was a lot of fun.

My last thought before I went to sleep was the same thought I always have after Squeeze shows: "Seeing Squeeze play makes me happy".
