Went to Reggie's the other night to see As Tall As Lions. A Lull opened, played a few songs, and then New Ghosts came on and did about a forty-five minute set. It was A Lull's first show, and they were awesome. As Tall As Lions came on at about ten, and played for a good hour and a half. I haven't been so excited for a show in a long time. It was similair to the feeling of being fourteen and seeing Mest or some other pop-punk band, when every song was just as exciting as the first one. I didn't get to meet the band, but I messaged Dan on myspace saying how much I enjoyed myself and he responded saying that they'll be back in March. I can't wait. They're going into the studio in two weeks to record the new album which doesn't have a title yet, but they played two new songs at the show. They closed with one that was just absolutely amazing. I'm so excited for the new album. I didn't think it was possible to love As Tall As Lions anymore than I did prior to the other night, but I can't even describe my enthusiasm at this point. If you haven't heard them, listen at myspace.com/astallaslions.

I'm on my way to the mall now though. I'm sure it will be packed, considering it's Christmas season. Not too excited to sit in traffic, but such is life in Chicago.
