taking back sunday

taking back sunday put on a super fun show in green bay at the club in tom, dick and harry’s on october 30, 2009. opening bands were gavin castleton, fun., and anberlin. i really liked fun.’s set… these guys are going to be big, i’m sure. anberlin really wasn’t that great, but i did catch the bassist’s water bottle at the end of their set. i now own a rock star’s water bottle! sweet. anyway, i was right on the front row barrier the whole time, which was awesome. such a trip to be that close and have adam lazzara make eye contact and sing right into your eyes the whole night. amazing.

this was the setlist:
Set Phasers To Stun
You Know How I Do
Sink Into Me
Error: Operator
Carpathia
One-Eighty By Summer
Lonely, Lonely
My Blue Heaven
New Again
You’re So Last Summer
Liar
Cute Without the “E”
Great Romances of the 20th Century
Everything Must Go
What’s It Feels Like To Be A Ghost?

ENCORE
A Decade Under The Influence
Timberwolves at New Jersey (by request)
My Name Is Jonas (Weezer cover)
MakeDamnSure

i took a lot of video and compiled them into three parts that are about 10-minutes long each. i really liked what adam said about halfway through the set where he took one girl’s camera and was like, “you paid so much money to be here, why would you wanna watch it through a smaller screen?” which is such a good point. but anyway, here is front row footage from the taking back sunday show in green bay, as captured through a 2.5-inch screen:



not to brag, but…

did i ever tell you guys the story about how tom delonge from blink-182 and angels & airwaves gave me his guitar one time during a blink-182 show in milwaukee, wisconsin on august 4, 2009?

i had the same reaction

it’s funny because it’s true.

there is nothing “rubik” about it

rubik's cube fail

the child in hong kong who was paid 5 cents to make this so-called “rubik’s cube” should be fired. my hands smell like hong kong.

the much anticipated sequel to my previous video:

john green likes blink-182. on a side note, john green hates me.

from today’s live show with my friend john green:

yayayay. also, i was not the only one asking blink questions. what do you think i am? obsessed or something? HA. :D

beth, ftw

check out tom delonge’s new shirt, featuring my name, beth, for the win. thanks tom. i think you’re full of win too.

beth ftw

hehehe. :D

speaking of jay-z…

what do you get when you mix one of the best rappers ever with my favorite band ever? you get this:

of fear and passion

so. i finally got around to looking at the angels & airwaves OCT2 footage i took from their tour with weezer this past fall. the highlight of the show by far was the piano version of the song “start the machine.”

rodge and dk

so after the packers’ embarrassing loss last night against new orleans… it occurred to me; packers quarterback aaron rodgers looks profoundly similar to angels and airwaves guitarist david kennedy:

anyone, anyone? no? not really? not even slightly? ok.

all i know is that upon discovering this, i am somehow less compelled to blame rodgers for everything that has gone wrong with the packers this year. oh man. we still goin’ 10-6, baby!
