Tegan and Sara

It has been a great night. I finished work and went to the Tegan and Sara concert. Northern State, a female hip-hop threesome from New York, opened. Northern State was fantastic - so much so that I bought a CD. I am not so sure that the CD was as good as the concert, but we'll give it some time. Check them out live if they are in your area.

I thought that I might be breaking a new band here, but then I read that they have already been on Grey's Anatomy. I would normally take this to mean that they actually aren't that hip, but I heard GBV's "I am a Scientist" on Samantha Who?, so I don't know what to make of things anymore.

Tegan and Sara were fun, as always. I think that they are hilarious. The only bad thing is that I didn't think that their songs were as good as the album versions. I think that this may have been due to sound problems (the bass was up waaaay too high). Also, their voices didn't click together until the last three songs. When this happens, it is heavenly, but it rarely did tonight. It was still a good show.

I got out of the show and decided to walk home. It is absolutely gorgeous out tonight - it was in the high 40s with a cover of fog. This made for a fantastic walk home, particularly when I walked across the Charles River. The fog made it so that you could not see the next bridge over; the Citco sign was a blurred glow in the distance.

Now, I sleep for three hours.
