So I went to the Spiritualized concert with my friend Pete, and it was great ('Take Your Time' = God, and they played 'Things'll Never Be The Same' at the end). Perhaps an order of magnitude better than last time, and thanks to some advice from Lisa Oliver (I believe), we were right in front of Mr. Pierce.

But more importantly, Pete and I met a very nice young lady named Ivy. And Ivy met one of their road crew. And the road crew guy put all three of us on the guest list for the show in Toronto tomorrow night. So we're going to see them twice in a row.

Pete and I have always had good luck in line buddies.
