Went to see The Academy Is... in San Francisco 10.19.08. Rocking concert! It was a small, pretty venue (general admission only) and it was awesome to be so close to the band. Before the concert, a friend and I shopped around Union Square and went into all the neat, chic shops. Very fun. I saw that store called fcuk again. Nice, nice.... I looked it up and it actually stands for French Connections of the United Kingdom. Guess what? David Bowie's son helped with one of their ad campaigns ^_^ Next time we'll have to go inside.
Next came pizza (omm nomm nomm) and we ran around like maniacs through a parking garage. I saw Michael Guy Chislett poke his head outside the tour bus! I made a total fool of myself, but he didn't notice me anyway. My friend saw Jack the Camera Guy by the merch table, but I somehow missed him, as I was preoccupied with buying a bottle of water.
The starter bands were: Hey Monday, Carolina Liar, and We The Kings.
All the pictures were on my friend's camera, but I did take that picture on the top with my cell phone.
Over all, GREAT concert, I highly recommend them live!
Santi.
