I don't know if you really care for me talking about my concert experiences in Denmark, but it has been a huge part of my exchange so I really don't care I am going to talk about it anyways!!!
I went to the last day of a small music festival here in Århus called "Poprevo". There were four bands playing that night and we were without tickets. We swung by the venue to see if we could get some tickets. Doors didn't open until 7, so we were just hanging out behind the venue and my buddy Brian spotted the lead singer of the opening band (Sunset Rubdown). We bumped into him walking down the street and got to chatting with 2/5 of the band, Spencer and Camilla. (When I say bumped into them, I really mean we chased them down on the streets of Århus) We mentioned that we were going to see them play tonight but we didn't have tickets yet. They said that they have never been to Århus before and know nobody here. Therefor they don't have anyone to make up a guest list for. They offered to make a guest list and throw us on it. Our names ended up being Brian Benson +3. It was very eventful night. Brian was very patient and got his photo with the band and everyone had a good time.
After the show I met Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and got him to sign the 7" I bought earlier that night.

Next up on the agenda is a trip down to Copenhagen tomorrow with Brian to see Andrew Bird play a show at Lille Vega. Should be a great shows. Maybe this time I will remember to bring my camera and I will have a video of two to share with you.
This is a video of Andrew Bird on Letterman promoting his new album "Noble Beast". Im expecting something like that tonight!
I'll try to remember to update after the show.
Love,
Dillon
