Fun and long night tonight. The Strange Young Things boys are taking off on tour, and tonight's show was in benefit for that.

Photobox ImageGreat crowd all night. And was definitely one of the best shows of theirs we've seen on so many levels. Yeah, I know, I say that so often. But it was. Yucca remained packed all night. Everyone was sporting "Fuck Strange Young Things" stickers. I'm surprised Corey asked us whether we'd wear them. While affixing them to ourselves,, PC came over and said hi and suggested that we were stalking him. [wink] With the frequency in which we see him, it's a fair call. [smile] ha!

And speaking of PC, he intro'd the band tonight - at which point I thought how good he is at it. As well as the mayor of Tempe, I think he's also the MC of Tempe without a doubt!

Photobox ImagePlayer of the week tonight when it comes to fashion would have to go to Adam. We talked to him about the pending tour for a while outside early in the night while he was selling raffle tickets. Dressed in the usual Adam style. At the time I said to Katie that one night he should upstage Glodie. Little did I know it was going happen tonight. About half an hour before their set, Adam walked into Yucca in tight leopard skin pants. Awesome!

Photobox ImageA highly energetic show. My name somehow got worked into one of the songs, which is becoming a regular occurrence at Yucca. Thanks for the love Cor. By the end of the night, the stage looked like it normally does on a really good night - full of musicians that aren't actual in the band. My favorite moment was probably when Corey insisted a hesitant Zubs come up and take over on guitar.

The band was a little late to hit the stage, and hence played well past last call. So much for the plans to get out earlier and to bed to leave early tomorrow for Tucson. [wink] The best part of the night came when there was a huge call out for an encore - well past 2am. The guys very happily got up to close up with Lonely Hearts Are Wild.

Shit, what a fun night. If you live in the midwest or east coast, check the tour dates to see if they're playing anywhere near you in the next month. It's cool, you can thank me for the recommendation (which will change your life) later. [smile]
