So this week Jason and I got to see 2 concerts in a row. First we saw Jimmy Eat World on wednesday night at Dodge Theatre. The tickets were about 55$ a person but Jason bought extra ones and sold them so our tickets were only about 12$ each. We were also in the pit rather than in seats so we were able to get really close when the crowd started moshing. They pushed me so that I was only one person away from the gate in front of the stage. It was great! I had actually seen them before but I was way far back and I had to sit through a bunch of screaming punk bands. This time they had 2 opening bands and one of them I really enjoyed.. they are called "Minus the Bear."
It's weird because we actually have one of their CDs in our huge collection of music. I have no idea where it came from. The other band "Deer and the Headlights" was good but it was hard to hear the lead singer.
When JEW came on you could tell they have way more experience performing.. and are just plain better! It was such a fun concert- I enjoyed every song and did not want it to end!

So even though we were tired from that concert (especially with me having work the next morning) we did not want to miss seeing Death Cab For Cutie. 
We had seen them 2 years ago and it was one of the best concerts we had been to. We had not even planned on going last time but since it was at Mesa Amphitheatre we thought we would just stay outside and get a free show. But once they came on we both wanted badly to be inside and we bought tickets. This time it was planned and we went with Jason's sibs Brendan and Catherine.
One major difference this time from last was the temperature. Previously we went in winter and it was probably 50 degrees.. a lot better than 105 this time! It was still a lot of fun even though we were all drenched. Another difference was the singer Ben Gibbard. I did not recognize him because he probably lost 50 and wasn't wearing his signature glasses. It was hard for me to accept that it was really him because I had a certain image of him for so long. I got over it eventually and really enjoyed the concert. The opening band was Rogue Wave who most people do not know but I love! I was very glad that I was able to see them. Death Cab was amazing as usual- they put on a great concert! We were both so worn out afterwards because we were standing for both concerts. But I am very glad that we went.

That is so cool. Oh dang, moshing, you guys are hard-core. Sounds like lots of fun. "Minus the Bear." "Deer and the Headlights"... interesting names. Oh my gosh I bet you were so tired at work the next day.
You are so lucky you got to see Jimmy Eat World! I am so jealous!
Well, we weren't really moshing but it was going on around us. Jason was actually standing behind me so that I wouldn't get hit! It was fun- not super crazy!
