A Night at The Metro

November 17th, 2007

I spent an evening with my good friends, Maps & Atlases at their Metro show with Men, Women and Children, Nurses and RX Bandits.

Not only was it a hell of a good time (and by good time I mean buckets of free Stella and balcony access) but I got to take fun pictures of ~~cute~~ stylish boys in the bands.

Yes, this is a hard job but someone's got to do it.

Click on the links above and give a listen to each one of these bands. You'll realize that these boys are not just a bunch of pretty faces they're also extremely talented musicians.

Have I ever steered you wrong before?

Parasol:
Typically a womans accessory used to shield herself from sunlight. Derived from "para" meaning prepare or shield and "sol" meaning sun. Gained popularity in 17th century Europe.

Quote:
"This is my daughter's umbrella. She didn't come today...Look! It says 'Audrey' on top!"

...I couldn't figure out which was weirder, the fact that he was wet and it wasn't raining or that his daughter's name wasn't Audrey.

Like Mike...
