Against Me! played a show at Higher Ground on Sunday I drove up to Burlington with Jillian to see them. Dead to Me (S.F.) openned. They were okay. I know it's a punk show, but they were a little too punk. Punk punk. Not at all hardcore. Punk like The Unseen or The Casualties. Then Against Me! It was my fourth time seeing them. The first time was about 6-years ago when I was a sophomore in college. Kids at punk shows are always weird, but the Vermont punks are especially weird. In most American cities, punk is a specific faction of sub-culture youth, but in Burlington, it's a hodgepodge of many sub-culture youth factions. So, for example, a mohawk is equally as punk as giant, heavily pocketed raver pants. Not just Against Me! songs were played. 'Amputations' from the Gabel solo EP was included in the setlist.
At the end of the show I got one of Andrew's picks! The phrase on the pick corresponds with the phrase on the amp. INTO THE SHELTER OF THE JUNGLE NOBLE SAVAGES RUN
It was an awesome show. I love going to concerts. At this point in my life, I've gone to so many that I've become really good at it. Like really good at it.
