The Kills
So I went to see The Kills Friday night at Southpaw. I like that venue because it is small but it's always hot in there. Anyway, I went with Joy, Tammy and Mark. Pete was supposed to come but he bailed at the last minute. Since it was a sold out show, I was able to sell his ticket. Me and Joy met up for dinner and went to Al Di La. Joy has always raved about this place except she called it something else, something that doesn't sound very italian. Anyway, we got mussels for appetizers (YUM!) and I got the skirt steak medium and Joy got the pasta special with pork shoulder, goat cheese and ricotta. The steak was absolutely awesome, it was cooked perfectly! Joy's pasta dish was amazing. The pasta was cooked just right. I swear, orgasmic. We also shared the pear cake for dessert. This place doesn't take reservations but since we got there early enough, we didn't have to wait for a table. And they don't rush you out either and always fill up your water glass before you need to ask. I will definitely make my way back there!
We met up with Tammy and Mark a little before nine and made Tammy eat, since she hadn't already. There were 2 openers that night so we were fine. We went to Los Pollitos II. Everything smelled good and Tammy said her dish was delicious.
Ok, so on to the show. They made us check our bags since it was a sold out show but I had to fill my pockets up with my wallet, chapstick and extra batteries for the camera. The Kills didn't come on until about 11:30 and Jamie apologized for the delay. Alison was wired! She couldn't stand still. The show was great and loud. My ears were ringing afterwards. They played for about an hour and then did the encore but we went to get our bags during that. The added plus was that it only took me half an hour to get home!

I do feel the need to clarify to everyone that I bagged going to this concert because I:
1. had worked 12 1/2 hours at two consecutive jobs, until 9pm that night
2. needed to be up at 5:30am the next morning to travel to CT for a family function
3. I live in Queens, which meant over an hour to get home after the show.
I was in bed and passed out by 10:45pm, 45 minutes before the Kills even hit the stage.
