So I am leaving for Portland right now for Bright Eyes at the Crystal Ballroom. I'm gonna go meet the one and only Horned Gramma and StormyPinkness as well. This is actually my first Bright Eyes show so this is a very big fucking deal for me. This is my dream come true and I am so glad I get to see them in a smaller venue first before seeing them at Sasquatch. HOLY SHIT! It's today! It's real! I'm off...........

The show last night was everything I wanted it to be. I can't explain how happy I am right now. I saw one of the greatest shows of my lifetime last night. I hope that some of you take the time to check out Bright Eyes at Sasquatch because I really think you'll be surprised. You can tell that Conor has really matured a lot and is focused on putting on amazing live performances now rather than fulfilling some image for teenage emo chicks. I am still feeling the high from the show.

That's what I gathered from him on the Cassadaga Tour - in a word, focused.
By the way, what do you think of the Crystal Ballroom? I saw the Dead Weather there last July. I loved the band, hated the venue: 1)There was only one large fan cooling off the whole floor area, and about halfway through the show, it broke, leaving the place to swelter. 2)I didn't care for how they split the crowd down the middle. 3)Lastly, if there were a fire there (God forbid) everyone would be flat-out fucked. I stayed close to the exit and stood on my tip-toes.

I had a dream last night that WKD and I were singing on stage together at Coachella and then afterward we went and brewed some beer. Did your wet dream sneak into my head last night or something Switch??

Ha ha. Yeah, my wet dream is powerful after seeing this show. I would imagine that many of the boarders here will be visited by WKD throughout the week.

I have all the same complaints. The sound was decent, but the lack of ventilation, the splitting of the crowd down the middle, and the lack of emergency exits really make this a venue that I don't really care for all that much. Once Bright Eyes was on stage though all of those worries went out the window.....or should I say they went out the single fire exit.

I am so glad you loved it, Switchy! And good to know you guys found the venue after we put you on a bus downtown.
The Crystal is one of my least favorite venues in town. The sound quality is notoriously bad (it has been good sometimes but not regularly), I get shin splints from those bouncy floors, and it seriously is about a thousand degrees in there at all times. I don't think the fire escape thing is very different from many other venues. There have been some great shows there but it is definitely not my preferred venue.

Not being from Oregon I've only heard of the Crystal Ballroom, and for whatever reason I built it up a bit in my mind... Kind of a let down, but all our cities have them I guess. I can't imagine a "sweltering heat" up there, especially when southwestern clubs generally don't have a great ventilation system.

It doesn't help that the event floor of the venue is on the 3rd floor of an old warehouse, either.

It is a really cool old building. And when swing came back it was great because everyone could dance on the bouncy floors (there are tires underneath the floor). But as a venue it definitely could be better.

I had a dream last night that I made out with Conor Oberst.
