In unbroken virgin realities

So I forgot my camera, so you have to bear the iphone shots for this post. The crowd was pretty chill at this gig. I thought I would hate it but I actually enjoyed it more than Budapest. I was probably tired then. Not one of the insane Muse gigs I've been to, but made it so I'm proud.

Who's the Rockstar?

I didn't get on the Anna Sun bandwagon till a wee bit later. By then, I've already planned my vacation and wouldn't be around when they came through SF. After some tour stalking, I saw they were performing in SD a day before I left for London. PLUS! I had enough miles to fly me and my vacation buddy to SD and back for free. So we went right after work from SFO-SAN to catch WTM at HOB, the following morning from SAN-SFO, same day flight in the afternoon from SFO-LDN... YOLO! and yes, vacation buddy scored the set list from the sound engineer.
