I saw VNV Nation & Imperitive Reaction last night, but I missed the opening act (soman). The crowd was an interesting mix of goth and raver kiddies which made for an interesting time.

VNV was great, but played a short show. After finishing their last song, they all disappeared quickly from the stage, leaving everyone hanging. Everyone was expecting the obligatory encore, but nearly five minutes later, no one came back out. Finally the drummer came back out to announce that the singer had collapsed because of the heat, but was OK. It was hot in there, I had a hard time keeping the energy to dance because I was sweating so badly.

After the show, Jeff+McC and I grabbed a bite to eat, we talked for an hour or so about a myriad of topics, and called it a night. Good times, good shows, good friends. What else could I ask for?

This weekend: Chicago baby! it’s my kind of town, Chicago is.
