Four of us went up to see Streetlight Manifesto in Newcastle last night, and I’ve been looking forward to it for a while – The last time I saw them, they only played for 20 mins, and I didn’t know who they were the first time back in San Diego, so it’s great to finally see them perform a full headlining setlist. Dan Potthast was the first support, crazy guy with an acoustic guitar, pretty funny, and also came down into the crowd and sung a few songs unplugged. My second time seeing Random Hand, they’re pretty good but I’m not that big of a fan, to be honest. As for Streetlight themselves… superb. The crowd went crazy on the first song and stayed crazy all the way through… pretty dangerous, especially when the room (Academy 2) only holds 400 or so people. There’s nothing more awesome that Keasbey Nights wedged in-between Point/Counterpoint for an epic song.
Current gaming progression… Matt bought Banjo-Kazooie off the XBLA Marketplace the other day, so I decided to spoil it for him by sitting down and 100%ing it while he watched. Sorry, Matt. In any case, it only took 6 hours and 13 minutes which put me at #93 on the leaderboard at the time. Wooh, top 100! I also blasted through De Blob after finding out you didn’t actually get anything for completing the game 100%, as well as finishing off World of Goo, leaving my currently playing list over on Facebook rather empty… I may start Fallout 3 if I’m not too busy working on my GS1 assessment.
