Last night, Natalie and I saw the band "Taking Back Sunday" at the Fillmore in San Francisco. She and I have enjoyed the band's first two CDs that came out in 2003, 2004. We didn't realize that the band's popularity has spilled over into the mainstream - like, totally.

We were probably in the Top 25 Oldest People in Attendance. Out of a couple hundred. The sea of teenagers sporting acne, wine coolers, and curfews was really difficult to not notice. A highlight, or what might be considered the most awkward moment I've ever witnessed at a concert, was when some random guy came on-stage during one of the opening acts and proposed marriage to his girlfriend. It was supposed to be an aggro', neo-punk rock show; instead, it seemed more like a high-school dance or sporting event.

...Anyhow, it was a good wayto spend what would have otherwise been an average Wednesday evening. But one can't help but wonder "what's next?" when you find yourself feeling too old to be at a concert.
