Andrew Bird Show

Hey everyone,

It is two days after the Andrew Bird show, and I am still tired. I saw the show with my friend from that States, Brian.  We met up in Copenhagen at around 4 and grabbed a bite to eat. The show was sold out, so we decided it would be in our best interest to go to the show early, so we started to walk to the venue around 6.

We were the first ones in the venue, got some merch, got a drink, and glued ourselves to the front of the stage. There was no way possible that we were going to give up our spot.  Andrew Bird came on an blew us away.  He was absolutely incredible. He played a two hour set, with funny stories in between some songs.  

After the show was over, I was determined to get the set list that Andrew Bird used for the show, so I got up on stage and grabbed it before anyone else could.  Brian then asked the guitar tech if he could have the guitarists set list, so we both had one by the end of the night.

By this time it was around 11pm and our train home wasn't arriving for another 1.5 hr so we thought it would be worth it to stand outside his bus and maybe if we got lucky we could meet him.  Just as we sat down on the curb, a random person walks up to us and says, "You guys waiting for the "Bird-man" ". He then tells us that a few minutes ago he was just standing at the bar with the guitarists having a beer. So we rush back into the venue and there he was, just sitting there with his feet up on the table.

We introduced ourselves and we got him to sign our set lists. It was an amazing experience.

Here is a video that Brian took. I was standing right beside him. Look at how close we were!

I have a school music festival this weekend. From 12pm - 2am. It should be a lot of fun.

Euro Tour is just around the corner. I leave May 14th. I will update you before, I leave. When I come back I will sit down and write the longest blog post ever.

Vi Ses,

Dillon
