had myself a time last night at the Silverstein show. my hotel turned out to be rigth across the street from the house of blues and was very nice.

rolled to the venue about 5pm and the line was fucking massive. lucky for me my pass was up at will call which was inside the venue, but getting the pass doesn't mean you're in yet, so there was still this issue of the line.

lucky for me the pass has those two great words on it "all access" so i slapped that puppy on my shirt and politely asked the security guard "i don't want to sound lke a jerk, but does this make it so i don't have to wait in that" she smiled and said "of course", so there i was cutting in front of everyone.

the live room at the HOB is pretty cool. beautifully decorated and has two balconies with private boxes on either side of the stage. I met Billy up there and we rolled back to their backstage room where we chilled on comfy couches, caught up, and drank beer. Chris, their former tour manager who lives in chicago now was there too. hadn't seen him in about seven years.

They played a great set, mixing up a lot of old hits and new rockers. some covers from the Short Songs record and played their 11 second blast See Ya Bill three times, each changing instruments each time. pretty fun. There was even a marriage proposal on stage that had been set up before . . . a boy and girl from Missouri that drove up for the show. she said yes!

Chris and i watched fromt he side of stage and then helped them break down and load up the trailer. more beer was consumed and then bill and i watched August Burns Red from the opera box with their wives. Bill was throwing ice at them their whole set. pretty funny.


we rolled out to Angels and Kings which is the bar owned by Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy where a booth and some bottles had been arranged. Bill, Kevin(ABR guitar tech/former Silverstein tour manager), and I did some Jameson shots to celebrate the fact that we all realized that we met 9 years ago on Silverstein's 3rd show in the USA ever. Shane and Josh rolled in a little later and we all had a rip rowring good time.

it was super fun, one of the best brodowns of the last few years, and i woke up terribly hungover.

Awesome pictures! Sooo jelly of you. I've passed the house of blues on a few occasions and always wondered what it was like inside. Wonder if they played "worlds apart" my fave song ever by them. Seems as though the hangover was soo worth it. smile
