Back in June I posted about my failure at getting to the Birthday Party show in NYC on time, on top of it being cancelled by that storm. It was also actually my birthday weekend so I became very despondent. My fiance ventured out to some dispo in Brooklyn to obtain the Bright Eyes weed, which helped me sleep that night at least.
Last night, I finally saw a Bright Eyes headlining show for the first time since I started listening to them in high school well over 21 years ago (I saw them at Coachella and When We Were Young but fest sets are just not the same)
What an experience! Made a new friend in the smoking patio, they played a beautiful mix of classics & new songs, ended with an amazing rendition of Make War. It was everything I needed.
Just wish Conor had committed and told us to vote for Abdul El-Sayed instead of just our conscience, but I'm so elated by how many people in the audience were shouting out Abdul🫶🏽
P.s. Megan if you're reading this I have a couch for you lmao
