Jimmy Eat World

I went to see Jimmy Eat World on their "Clarity" 10th Anniversary tour at the Fillmore. They're doing 10 shows playing "Clarity" from front to back. I absolutely LOVE that album. I remember the first time I listened to it, it was on a drive to San Francisco with my brother. The whole album just clicked with me and just driving across that flat farmland...it was perfection.

I went alone, which is weird, especially when you're standing around waiting for the band to play or between sets. It ended up being really cool because a group of lovely boys stood behind me and sang their hearts out, and they were really good! I stood pretty close, in between Jim (the singer) and Tom (guitarist). And they're also the cutest. After they played "Clarity", they came back out and sang a few more songs, including my favorite "Sweetness". And guess who looked at me while he sang, "Sinking into sweet uncertainty! Oooohhoooohhhoh!" JIM! Oh, it was so lovely. It was nice.

I feel like I can cross one of the bucket list.
