My Haloween Adventures

So, instead of waiting around for my neighborhoods inexplicable non-existent trick-or-treaters (except for the kids from across the street), I headed down to Nashvegas for what was surely to be an epic concert featuring two indie rock (I suppose) heavyweights. Observe, and be amazed!




But what do I find once I get there, but a half-empty Ryman Auditorium and a crowd that asks "so who you here for" and looks at you like you're crazy when you answer "well, both are awesome, and I'd pay to see either band, really, but I've seen Drive-By Truckers play when I was in college, so I guess The Hold Steady." Fortunately, the sparse crowd didn't seem to affect either band from kicking ass. And The Hold Steady was in the holiday spirit.

(thank you Flickr and people with better seats than me, I'll never bother taking a camera to a concert ever again!)
So basically, I'm left thinking: what the hell, "Music City"?
