st. louis: a very ludo christmas

with treaty of paris and ludo

the famous "a very ludo christmas" show! they're so much fun and this was my... third? fourth? i'm not sure. but i was extra excited this time around because my good friends in treaty of paris were coming down from chicago to open the show. treaty isn't exactly broken up, but they tend to stick close to home and only play a select few shows in chicago here and there, not touring anymore and the like. so it was really good to see them again and in such a big venue no less. abby and i went together and eventually met up with molly and claire, and katie, shannon, grant and ryan. we got there in time to catch the tail end of the opening band's set, and then made our way into the pit so i could get rowdy for treaty of paris. clearly only a handful of people in the crowd new who treaty was, because i got some strange sideways glances from people while screaming along and dancing like an idiot. oh well.


after their set we ventured out to meet up with more friends and watched ludo from afar. i've had my fair share of intense ludo pits and it's nice to watch their antics from way back in the venue. they played a good mix of old and new songs as well as some acoustic christmas carols, which they performed in the middle of the pit with the audience sitting around them.

we snuck into the merch room right after the show and talked with the treaty boys for a good while, and eventually gathered the troops for some ihop nomz. another yaer, another great ludo christmas show.
