Cake was awesome last night at the Crystal. Although I will remember next time not to wear my duster, as it's very heavy by the end of the show standing holding it.

The music was great (Cake anyway, the opener not so much), but why is it that bands can't just say "we're going to play x long", do an encore piece if really really necessary, and then be done? This bit of "we're outta here", "no wait, we'll play one more", "well, if you insist, we'll play another", "ok, we have to play this last one before we go" gets annoying. We came to listen to music, not get jerked around. And even if we came for that too, chances are it wasn't that we wanted the band doing it! Rant over.

I am very glad I went. They even ended with my 3 favorite songs, Opera Singer, Short Skirt/Long Jacket, and The Distance. That made it more than worth the price of the ticket! Now to figure out who to see next...
