columbia: empires

this was a last minute decision, but it was a good one. i'd never seen empires live before, nor have a listened to a lot of their music. i have so many friends that love them though, and my friends have damn good taste in music. so when cortney asked if i wanted to with, i said "sure!" plus, it was stop day at school and what better way to celebrate my last day of class EVER than by going to a show and having a couple drinks with friends?

abby, cortney, lizette, and stephanie and i tried to time things well enough to where we would just see empires since they were headlining. none of us had ever heard f the opening bands and we didn't feel like sitting through them. we guessed fairly well and had enough time to get drinks before empires went on. i also met kati, a mutual friend of a ton of my friends, so that was cool. she was sweet and now we're twitter bffs. i love social networks. but empires played a great set, cortney bought a poster, and we headed to steak and shake for some late night dinner. good times. check out empires they're worth your time.
