st. louis: good old war

once again, it pays to have friends who work at venue box offices. once again, guest listed +1. my friend raul immediately came to mind when i pondered what to do with my extra ticket. he's a friend of mine from school and we've carpooled to a couple shows together before. naturally, he accepted. we didn't carpool to st. louis, but met up at the venue. i made it just in time, and even though we'd cut it close, i was surprised to see a really scarce crowd. we walked right up to the front of the stage and had a great view the whole night. some guy opened, i can't remember his name. he was a pretty good freestyle rapper though. (sounds weird, but it was decent, i promise.) next was good old war (weee!) and finally joshua radin. but at that point it was getting really late, and i still had homework to get done back at school. i'm not a raging fan of joshua radin, so raul and i got in line, i bought a shirt and talked with the band briefly, and we were both on our way back to school. a long trip for such a short amount of show time, but it's always worth it to me.

check out good old war. they're fantastic and their harmonies give me chills:
