03.14.10Bon Jovi ConcertSo we went to the Bon Jovi concert last night. I haven’t really listened to them since the 80s, but they were one of my favorites back then. As a result I don’t know any of their newer stuff. The start of the concert was awesome. They were mixing old song with some better new songs that weren’t too bad. In the middle it got pretty lame though. They had a pretty long stretch of some crappy Christian sounding songs. For a while there it felt like were were in church. They ...

12.08.09Soul AsylumSo last Saturday we went to Soul Asylum. It was the third time seeing them, and they are always great. Dave Pirner looks like he has more fun on stage than any band I have ever seen. Sadly they aren't that "big" rock band that they were back in the 90s. They released an amazing album back in 2006 that got pretty much no play. Because of this they didn't sell to many tickets. I don't understand, $15 to see one of the best bands to come out of Minneapolis, who wouldn't want to ...

10.24.09Ben FoldsSo last night we went as saw Ben Folds. It was a pretty awesome concert. Like most concerts at The Venue we got right up from. Sadly we were on the wrong side of the stage and none of our pictures turned out very good because of the lighting. I am subscribed to an RSS feed for a Fargo search on Flickr and found Flickr user erintheredmc. She we more in the center and has a nice set of pictures. Opening for Ben Folds was Kate Miller-Heidke. She is apparently pretty big in Australia, and ...

07.16.08Motion City AnniversarySo yesterday was our eighth wedding anniversary. We were married in 2000, so it's easy to figure out. Our favorite band so happened to play in town yesterday also. It was our sixth or seventh (I kinda lost count) time seeing Motion City Soundtrack. This was the first time that they were actually headlining. We got right up front. The wife hates crowds, so the front is the best place. She doesn't have to see all the people that way. We both had a great time. She was snapping pictures like ...

06.09.08Soul Asylum @ RibFestSaturday night we went to RibFest. We had some amazing ribs and some roasted corn. It was all yummy, but spendy. I think we spent $40 on food, and we really didn't eat that much. The main reason we went on Saturday night was to catch Soul Asylum. They played RibFest a few years back and were awesome. They were one of my favorite bands from the 90s, and being from Minneapolis, always made them special. It's kind of amazing that the band is still together with very few member changes. They formed it ...
