EMPIRES @ The Subterranean, 6.4.08, record release party

So, I finally managed to get myself down to Chicago and go see Empires. And holy shit was it awesome. EXCEPT FOR ALL THE DAMN TOLLS DRIVING.


Just a few tidbits before the review:

-Sean is a Packers fan and his dad is from Madison.
-It was Tomrads' sister's sweet sixteen.
-Ryan is really short, and drums like Animal from the Muppets.
-Max's parents were at the show, and are really nice
-Apparently I end up meeting the coolest people in line.
-Howl has been downloaded in Egypt and Kenya.
-there were 300 hard copies of Howl, and not all of them have been sold. Each are numbered.
-Australians also call a drinking fountain a "bubbler". Awesome.
