Just got out of the sf. Show. I'd say 70 people attended.   I stood about 10 feet from a speaker and rocked out.   Definitely a great experience. I just wished I couldve heard the "new" songs for the first time with headphones.

Went to the SF party last night.  Let's see - really easy parking right by the place - not an easy feat in that area.  No line at all - walked right in - plenty of shirts/posters/stickers.  They're all the same as the other US events.  Really expensive drinks - not surprising.  Some problems - before they "officially" played the album, they must have played the CD single at least 10 times.  Normally not the end of the world except for the fact that it's the first song on the album so when they do start "officially" playing it people are gonna be tired of the song.  I tried to get the DJ to play other stuff.  No luck.  I asked the radio station folks and they said it's playing over and over cause it's the single.  I informed them that Better was also a single but they are very ignorant.  The album was great, but when This I Love ended and Prostitute started a guy from the radio station got on the mike and started to thank people for coming until fans had to tell him that it wasn't over.  No band members (that I saw anyway).  When Prostitute ended the guy got back on the mike and gave his speech and when he was done I shouted "Fuck Bestbuy" which he didn't seem to agree with.  I would have to say other cities were better but I still had a good time overall.
