How was the Touch and Go 25th?

Thinking back on it a week later, I still get excited and happy. Touch and Go should have a 25th anniversary every year.
Saturday was obviously the best from start to finish, and things were so amazingly well run I even brought my 5 month old on Sunday for his first show.

I saw you and your adorable son and thought: That kid is young, I wonder what he thinks of all this.

I also noticed that Tim bought the little Midgett-Hunter, and Rick Sims' twin daughters were there. Anyone else bring kids here? How did they react with all the people and the strange sounds?

This happens sometimes, a little persistence will inevitably win out. I tried once a day for like a week to no avail, but the day I tried twice was when I got an account.

Enough of this filetrading talk on EA though, lest any shows by you-know-who show up there. :-X

All of the children I saw at TG25 were enjoying themselves almost as much as the adults, although not always for the same reasons. It seems that this crowd even makes good parents, for the most part. Salut, T+G fans!

I agree that hes adorable.

While hes still too young to tell me what he thought of the whole thing, his overall demeanor suggested he liked it.

We stayed far enough from the stage that the noise didn't seem to bother him and he likes the outdoors. For a first concert experience it went quite well.

Honestly he was in a good mood until moments after CocoRoise took the stage, then he lost it.

It was then that I knew he was my son.

(In full disclosure it was also his bedtime)
(In even fuller disclosure I'd know he was mine even if he liked CocoRosie.)

Did anyone see people skulking on top of the building behind the stage during the Ted Leo set? I have been wondering if they were crashing Cub rooftop style, or if they were filming or something. They were totally visible with the moon being as bright as it was, but they moved like they were being commandos.

I never noticed anyone during the daytime.

The building I am thinking of was 2 or 3 to the left.

I brought my two two-year-old boys on Saturday. After listening to a few minutes of Killdozer they told me they were ready to leave and go to the rock show I had been telling them about.

If nothing else it will be something cool to tell their friends when the other kids are talking about their first concert being Justin TimberSpears 3000.

That was me. The only reason I wouldn't sell it is because it's a cherished Rock*A*Teens shirt that the band silk screened themselves over an old church sports team T. If the band logo ever rubs off completely, I promise I'll mail it to you.
