[review]

wow! the story goes like this... i was at home in cleveland, ohio talking to my friend online (who lives in columbus, ohio) and he was saying he wasn't going to the show. i go "what show?" and he goes "rilo kiley". so i'm like "holy crap!" what time does the show start." he sez "10:30pm" i look at my watch and i run out the door. it was about 7:30pm at the time. i had no idea at all about the show in columbus. i pick up my friend ,in cleveland, and he gets in my car and i totally surprise him about the show in columbus. he was shocked and excited. we drove 2 hours in the bitter cold to columbus. the show was in a hole. what a crappy venue?! we sit thru 2 horrible punk bands to see rilo kiley. everyone left the club cuz rilo kiley went on like around 12:00am but the people who stayed were completely blown away by them. i was talking to jenny after the show and she's totally cool, she signed my poster!! she is by far my favorite jenny!! what a great show! it was a great ending for a crappy day for me. they started with "science vs. romance" and ended with "waves and wires". they played a *new* song called "chemical..." (i forget the last part.) wow! i'm still buzzing over last night
