fob audio

Concert review later. Music files now! A rare unlocked post - I don't care if people take these files, pass them around, share the love! Just, not with people who are going to be dicks and TOS me off of Sendspace, please.

All mp4, because I lack the codec to convert them to mp3, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now. The audio turned out pretty spectacularly, though, so I'm happy! For those who haven't been playing along at home, all are from Fall Out Boy's Saturday night show in Chicago.

Mr. Brightside. I think Patrick doesn't quite know the words. Either that, or I'm forgetting them. I'd have to listen to the original to really be sure.
A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me. Long-ish intro, during which Pete decides the audience needs to do the wave for him.
Xo. I actually couldn't remember I'd gotten this song, so it was a nice surprise for sister_wolf, as it's her favorite song. :)
Golden. Acoustic, just Patrick and his guitar. Insert dreamy fangirl sigh here.
Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner. More acoustic, this time with the whole band.

Why do I have to go to work now? ::sobs::

The weekend review!

Friday: sister_wolf and I left work early, and stopped in Madison to have dinner with lovelokest and fairestcat. I'd actually met them before - they stayed at our house in March - but, as March 2007 wasn't my most fabulous month ever (to put it mildly), I was pretty much a complete antisocial hermit at the time. So, it was nice to meet them again, in a better headspace! :) We stayed talking fannish things for a bit longer than we intended, so we got into Illinois fairly late.

Saturday: Up early-ish, as we were meeting folks for lunch at noon near the arena, and we were 30 miles or so away. Spent a few hours sitting at Chili's with moryssa, fairestcat, and shrift, talking various geeky things. Eventually, the latter two left to join the ever-growing GA floor line at the arena, while the rest of us spent a leisurely afternoon at Coldstone Creamery and IHOP. Around six, moryssa left us, and sister_wolf and I headed over to the arena to check out our seats. Which were actually pretty awesome - I would have liked to be a little closer to the opposite side of the section, as we mostly had a back view of everyone (we were about parallel with Andy's drum riser). But, back views aren't always a bad thing. :) Also, we were about thirty feet from the stage, with a view only obstructed by a couple of speakers and cables. Also, we were behind the speakers, which I suspect helped with the sound. I was happy with it, anyway!

( the concert, which might be a little long to scroll past on your friends list. thus, a cut, because I'm nice that way! )

I’m sure there was more I meant to mention, but it’s gone now. We met back up with folks after the show - plus one more person, who I think is an LJ type, but I didn't catch her name - and sat at IHOP with about a hundred other people who were waiting out the traffic.

Sunday: Lunch. And then home, but not before I managed to run over the mailbox. ::facepalm:: I'm a good driver, I swear. Also, note to self: if you go through Wisconsin again in the near future, think about taking 90 all the way, rather than 94, because that one-lane stretch near Eau Claire SUCKS ASS.

So! That was our weekend. I can't wait to see the show again in Cedar Rapids. It probably won't have the same energy as a hometown crowd, but there will be the bonus of seeing it from the front. :D And now, I am dead, and need another weekend to recover from my weekend. Please?
