Animals, Collectively

First Seattle concert adventure: Success!
Three friends and I went to Friday night's sold out Animal Collective show at Neumo's without tickets. We were in good company considering there were 30-50 people there who didn't have tickets either. Somehow, though, we managed to get tickets scalped for all of us and the show was phenom.
First opener was Eric Copeland (not this guy) : loud. noise. but probably worth getting some of his recordings.
Followed by Wizard Prison: seriously, two guys who think they're wizards. not really like anything I'd ever heard before.
Finally, Animal Collective: way different show that I expected. really highlighted their electronic sounds. and I danced my heart out.

And to chronicle the experience, I got a poster for ten dollars- one of only 50, made especially for that show.
Lesson learned: buy tickets ahead of time, and always get extra to scalp at the show.
