w/ Nada Surf, Ozma

[review]

Hey, all! Did anyone else get into Brownies last night? For all you LA kids, I'll fill you in: It was INSANE! About 100 people showed up without tickets not thinking it would sell out - myself included. The bouncer was unfortunately really good at his job. The guys from Ozma were nice enough to give a little acoustic jam session outside for the kids who couldnt get in. Luckily, I spotted Jenny outside right before the concert and she was sweet enough to sneak me in. As for the concert, it was AMAZING. RK opened and although there were some (many) technical difficulties (Blake got shocked by the mike at one point, Dave's pedal broke, and a string on Jenny's guitar snapped) I guess the one way to describe it was magical. You Cali kids are lucky you get to experience it as often as you do!
