2005-11-12 The Black Keys

Recording #126

I was following the Black Keys on their east coast fall tour.  This was the fourth of ten shows.

I drove from Minnesota and for this one night, my wife Kristen was flying out to join me.  The show was sold out.  I had purchased all my tickets in advance, but we made plans for Kristen to fly out to see this show later.  I emailed Dan's dad, Chuck, to see if she couldn't be added to their guest list.  He made arrangements and I picked up Kristen at the airport and we found our way to the club.

There was a line to get in and we chatted with the kids around us.  Kristen laughed as one boy said he was their biggest fan, and this was his second time seeing the band.  I'm sure he is.  I hope everyone out there has a band they look up to as their biggest fan.

Kristen wanted a seat and we went to the balcony and sat in the front row.  It was a great spot to watch.  I saw Patrick talking to friends and I went over to say hello and thank him for getting Kristen non the guest list.  He said it wasn't a problem and then wanted to go over and meet Kristen.  We talked for a bit and then went back to his friends, one I think was in the service and being deployed the next day or very soon after.

It was a great show.  They came out for three separate encores.
