Am I the only one who cared about this?

Oh nice. I didn't realise.

I'm guessing you didn't go, though?

Unfortunately, no. It was thousands of miles away in Denver, Colo., and the tickets were a $200 Kickstarter option. But they livestreamed the first three songs of their set last night (Blue Comb '78, Oh Cananda (?), and American Kryptonite). They were planning to livestream all of it (great audio, terrible video) but the Kickstarter ticket-holders got mad because they paid to have a special show.

I will definitely be seeing them in 2013 when they schedule a legit tour. They're just doing festivals this year. I actually ran into two FIF fans at Fest last year. I couldn't believe it.

I totally went. It was amazing.

I wish I had seen this before last weekend. We could have become fif friends.

Oh my word I can't believe you went!! I wasn't able to make plans that far in advance, so I just nerded out with the livestream here in Gville. I am PUMPED to see them tour next year.

my god. I stayed up all night the night before our flight left.

I felt like I was on a youth group trip. people were putting names with pictures on their doors and shit. I was for sure the only person at the event hotel who was drunk most of the weekend. haha.

It was incredible. I might have cried a little bit. it started with a little kid yelling in the mic, "the end is over!"

it still gives me goose bumps. haha.

& leanor was super hot.....

also. I wish I had known you were watching! my wife & I could have found the camera and creeped you

Oh man… Now I'm getting all choked up and emotional. I have never been as passionate about a band's music as I was with Five Iron in high school. I got into them about a year before they broke up, and they became all I listened to to while driving to and from school. It was ridiculous.

Watching the DVD a year ago brought back all the good times goofing off in youth, because watching the band was just like watching the videos kids used to make during camp. I am so stoked to finally see them. I feel like I just found out a myth is true. FIF is actually touring and I can see them next year!!

you'll be one happy camper, for sure. It was incredible.

oh, and reese went from suit & tie...to this...and fell over tripping over the mic cable.




oh, and when I was outside after waiting on my wife, she got me this gem



i dont care how lame and fan boy it is..

People should feel ashamed about being enthusiastic about things!! I could talk about Five Iron, Fest, or Harry Potter until my voice tanks. If you don't like that or think it's uncool, you need to find someone else to talk to.
I like to like stuff.

You totes need to frame that note from Leanor. I got Frank Turner and his super adorable bass player to sign my setlist from when they opened for the Dropkick Murphys a couple months ago, I'm totally having that framed with my ticket stub

trust me, this will be in mint condition for as long as I live!
