Well, I should have posted this a few days ago when it was fresh in my mind, but now will have to do. So, last Saturday the Spinto Band played a free midnight show in NYC at the
Knitting Factory , which is a fairly famous New York venue.
Anyway, my brother and I plus two girls from college drove down early on Saturday because said girls wanted to hang out with friends of theirs in the city. Thomas and I basically just hung out at an apartment in Brooklyn where some friends of his from college live now.
So it comes closer to midnight and show time, and here is where the fun starts. I start seeing acquantinces I know EVERYWHERE. There are people that currently go to my college, there are people that have graduated from my college, there are kids from my friend's college, there are kids from my friend's college that have graduated, there are kids there from a completley unrelated college....There are a lot of kids! And I kinda, sorta know them all, at least met most of them at some point.
Alright, so it's only 75 people or so, but for a Wilmington, DE based band in a NYC show...that's a pretty insane amount of people. All in all, it went pretty well, and I was just so cool seeing all of these Spinto Band fans coming out in support, seemingly out of nowhere in this big city.
Then we drove home, played the alphabet game on the way back (I got stuck on Q for too long...), and now I'm back at school. It has been a depressing semester, but this lifted me back up pretty high. I've realized that hanging with the Spinto kids is what I should be doing most of my time. Screw college.
