Last night I went to see Switchfoot and Athlete with Brad, Drew, and Josh.  I didn’t know what to expect.  I knew Switchfoot had some good songs but I had only heard on song by athlete.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  I was really impressed with Athlete.  They definitely have a good sound.  Switchfoot was good but just a bit too poppy for me.  My buddy Rob gave me a hard time about going to the show.  He made me promise that I wouldn’t come back with an ankle tattoo, mascara, and plans to move to San Diego to be near the “boys.”-Thanks Rob!

Here’s my thoughts on the show.

• I’m getting old and the idea of standing in one place for any amount of time is painful.  Next time I got to the House of Blues I’m paying extra to sit in a pew up stairs.
• I definitely thought a girl was going to faint when Jon touched her hand.
• Athlete didn’t have their drummer and still rocked!
• I want a keyboard player in a bad way at lifepoint.
• The lead guy of Athlete busted out a few songs by himself on his jaguar.  Wow!
• Switchfoot brought the energy.
• I feel that Switchfoots songs carry quite a bit of substance.
• I was unfamiliar with much of their newer songs.
• I bought the Athlete cd.  very nice.
• I so wish I was from London and had an accent.
