Pretty Late Lights

As my live music quest continues and my money depletes, I find myself questioning which shows to attend and which to skip.  If I've already seen a band a few times, I'll pass.  Or if the ticket is really expensive and I'm not really into it.  

Pretty Lights was almost one of these.  

After weeks of being reminded by my boyfriend that Pretty Lights kicked ass and I really needed to get on listening to it, seeing as how we'd already purchased our tickets.  Although I'd heard his pleas, I was skeptical.  

Boy, was I wrong.  Pretty Lights was amazing.  The Subterranean is an awesome venue.  The upstairs balcony is slightly quieter than the floor level, but also more roomy and a great environment for a sold out show.  

Plus a V.I.P. area that was easy to get into and the location of Future Rock drummer, Darren Heitz. And because Future Rock  gives my boyfriend a raging boner as his favorite band pretty much ever, meeting him was his (albeit unplanned) valentine's day gift. I'm the best. 

Not to mention the fact that Pretty Lights then played a late-night secret no-rules situation show in a friend of a friend's basement in Chinatown after he played a second encore.  

Learning from my mistakes, I, from now on, will always listen when my boyfriend tells me to listen to certain music.  Maybe. 

Now, I must go back to bed and recover from my weekend filled with sassy shenanigans and even better times.
