quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock!

last night all my dreams came true.

i finally FINALLY got to see arcade fire!

and it was worth the wait!

they put on such an incredible show both visually and musically. i heard every song i had wanted to hear, and was not disappointed.

it was so fun sharing this experience with my sister kirsten and her husband aaron [and not just because i got to tease them about how "old" they are]. i would've have had it any other way! it was such a powerful experience and even though they played for about an hour and a half, i never wanted it to end! needless to say, i will not be missing them ever again!

here are some vidz i took from the show last night! they're not great-quality videos, but you can get a good idea of how cool everything looked/sounded!
