Nicole and I had the chance to check out The Constantines at the Starlight Room last evening, but things did go slightly awry.
The tickets stated "doors open at 8pm" which would lead you to believe that things would get underway shortly thereafter. We decided to watch the last two periods of the Oilers game in the lounge area, not too concerned about missing the opening acts.
After the game we wedged ourselves into the concert area, it was almost 10:30, and it looked like the roadies were setting things up for the Constantines. To our astonishment, these "roadies" then began to play! It was the FIRST opening act, and at one point the singer thanked the Constantines for loaning them their instruments.
By the time we got into the second act, and the clock approached midnight, it was evident we were in no shape to wait for the headliners. We were tired, sore, and far too emotionally spent from our house inspection to last any longer. We shuffled home, dodging the human feces on the stairs down to Bellamy Hill, and crawled doe-eyed into bed.
Currently: The proud owner of a membership to the Starlight room - it was still a cool place!

I just can't keep up with these kids and their new-fangled rock shows which go 'til all hours of the night!
So did you two at least find a house?
oh wait, I just read that again. You were house inspecting. Does that mean you've already put down an offer? Where is it?
