There was a band playing somewhere offscreen

Well, that was pretty awesome. I headed out of work today early, got stuck in traffic in College Station, was terribly paranoid about not getting places on time, picked up Amy, got up to Austin, and had 20 minutes to spare before the 97's hit the stage. We missed the opener, but whatever. (I only stopped being quite so nervous about timing once we were walking by the back of the stage of Stubb's and saw Ken wandering around.)

Really good show, a little slow at the beginning, but great by the end. (Over the Cliff! I love Over the Cliff!) And the audience, while less awesome than the one last time (although my perception may be different because we were a bit farther back today), did a good job of singing along on pretty much everything.

Songs played (vaguely ordered):

----
Salome

(They did the standard two-encore thing, so there were more songs than this here, but I don't remember what exactly was in them in what order after the acoustic parts.)


I tried to make some phone posts, but apparently I hadn't remembered the key sequences right. :( (They probably wouldn't have come out though, it was pretty bass-y by us. <hopes for a boot>)

PS: Rhett cut his hair! (Finally. He looks much better with hair that isn't shoulder length.)
