jen reminded me of another great thing about the fantastic jimmy eat world show. well she didn’t personally remind me, but you get the idea.

i think i need to stop going to anything that could be even loosely qualified as “punk” concerts and only going to concerts for “indie rock” bands. the crowd at the jimmy eat world show was not only pretty chill instead of rowdy and annoying (but still very fun), but it was also largely female. and there’s nowhere better to be than in a crowd of a whole lot of cute indie rock girls. they’re so pretty and they have the best style sense. i should ask some of them to dress me; i have serious fashion envy at concerts like this sometimes.

and jen is totally right about the leaving the concert time too — it’s passed entirely by sizing up and/or checking out the fellow rockers. but you have to see who your competition is, right?. and that relates to my only complaint about the glass house. it’s a great place for a show until the show’s over, and the entire crowd of sweaty young people have to exit the building all at once through the single pair of double doors that form the only entry/exit. it takes at least 15 whole minutes to get out every time, i swear.

and that’s a long time after a blistering rock session.
