...One Ear Against the Ground...

Rise Against and Rancid at Roseland Ballroom, NYC, with Tommy and Jenna. It was actually supposed to be Tommy, Judy, Dave & I, but Dave suddenly had a double-header to play, and Judy had a baby shower or something to attend. We were able to sell Tommy's extra ticket for almost face-value outside the parking garage, and I just gave Dave's to Jenna for free. I had been in the hospital for vertigo a few days before, and still wasn't feeling well, so Tommy had to drive. Rancid was awesome, but I don't know much of their music. Rise Against was high-energy and great, as always, but by the end of the main set, I just couldn't stand up anymore. We left before they even did any encore.
