I thought it was going to be a handwriting seminar...

Went to see the Cursive concert Thursday night at Rotown (a small venue near downtown Rotterdam; very cool inside). As it was explained to me, Cursive is an indie band that hails from the USA and is definitely "emo". The concert wasn't sold out by any means but, the band put on a cool show and everyone who was there got into it; even the 6 or so other international students who had never heard of them (including me).

Overall, the night was a pretty good one if you ask me. But to be fair, the standard downside to concerts in the Netherlands? It's the people/crowd/concert goers. Like I said before, these people are tall. As such, the only way to see the show was to either stand right up front by the stage (which isn't bad) or about 3 metres back from the person in front of you so you can see over their 1.90m heads. It's atrocious.

However at the end of the night, I walked away with a little souvenir (see picture above) of the evening. And to boot, my buddy Richie who's a like a Cursive groupie, picked up the set list from that night.

I don't believe any of your avian news anymore after you duped me with that wildrooster post. So there.
