Third Eye Blind show!

The show was incredible. 

1) The Fox Theater in Oakland is gorgeous! It was built in the early 1900s and then shut down for a while, and was renovated and newly opened in February 09! So it is tight. Indian style carvings on the wall, the ceilings, Persian rugs on the walls, and two crazy big Buddha-like statues on either side of the stage who had glowing white eyes! Ah. 

2) This was an album release show, as their new album was released today. So they played their wonderful old songs but played a lot of great new songs too! 

3) The singer Stephan Jenkins went to Gunn, the high school I attended! sweet. I just like sharing that fact.

4) They played Motorcycle Drive By, which is always a spiritual, beautiful experience for me. 

5) I met up with my friend Pumba from UCSD and his new friend Laurel from BART, so we had a fun group. And of course I went with Duncan, one of my favorite concert buddies :)

6) Stephan, the singer, had a nice top hat that he wore for most of the show. Ha. 

Great show! What a perfect way to end my time here before I ship off to España. Hopefully I'll continue my concert obsession there, seeing Spanish bands in fun European clubs and venues....vamos a ver!
