Amber and I got an opportunity to see The Shins, again, and they were fantastic. They said that it was the biggest show they had ever played. One crazy note... Just before the concert Amber was grabbing a bite at the NewYork resturant McDonald's (I guess they're pretty big on the east coast) and as we wait in line my filmschool buddy Tyler was waiting outside. I look back to see if he is coming in and I notice that he is not... because he's talking to James Mercer (lead singer of The Shins). I move quickly to the door but James and the band are already in a cab on their way to dinner before the show. Viva Voce opened the show and I was very impressed. It is always fun to see an opening band that actually gets your blood pumping before the headliner.
