A bunch of us saw Bishop Allen on Friday at Pianos. Great show. I really like Pianos. It has 3 separate areas: a bar, a music venue, and an upstairs dance/club area. It sucked we had to pay for the show ticket and *also* pay cover to get upstairs. It's amazing how much new music I found out about from Evan that I still listen to today. I need to find out what he's listening to now :)

On Saturday we went to McCarren Park Pool to see Bloc Party. The show was good, but I was really impressed by the venue. McCarren Park Pool was a public city swimming pool in Brooklyn. It's closed now, but they are holding concerts there in the summer. It's a huge swimming pool, but seems like it was only 3 or 4 feet deep. Obviously there's no water in it now, and the pool is actually where you stand/sit to watch the music. The audio quality was great and it was a perfect day to be outside.

Gary also scored free tickets to see Phoenix next Monday!
