Concert envy

I have seen some good shows in my day. Shows where I was there not only for the main act but the opening band as well. Rufus Wainwright opening for Tori. The New Pornographers opening for Belle & Sebastian. Bic Runga opening for The Finn Brothers. Epic freaking nights for someone like me.

Also, I can think of at least two occasions where I didn't know the opening act but enjoyed their performances nonetheless: Jonathan Richman opening for Belle & Sebastian and Angela McCluskey opening for The Finn Brothers (two nights in a row!). I even went out and bought Angela's album after that. So I've had my fair share of good shows, and I shouldn't be complaining now.

But I'm going to anyway. Connan & the Mockasins are opening for I'm From Barcelona! March 27th! 4 days from now! In London! And I? Am not in London.

*pout* I casually and unreasonably toss the evil eye at my hometown for the crime of not being within driving distance of London.
