The. Palladium. Sold. Out.
It was kind of amazing. Last night was our biggest show yet of the Tour. The Palladium in Worcester holds 2000+ and all the spots were taken, my friend. The energy was palpable and the bands were buzzin'.
The only less-than-stellar thing about the venue was the platform areas for merch. There's room for about two tables, and we made do with four total for us, FTSK, Sonny, the Matches and a venue table. (Don't worry--ATL, TRS and Keep Abreast were in the other area on the other side of the bar.) Even though FTSK did a signing at our table (that almost collapsed the platform with all the people trying to get to them), they were kind enough to stay down on the perimeter when they came back to hang at their merch table after their set. (Still drawing in plenty of traffic, but keeping our tables semi-safe from collapsing.)
However, we had some awesome street-teamers who worked the crowd, the line and the table very diligently, getting as many people as possible hooked up with their subscriptions. All the bands sounded really great, and the crowd was really, really incredible. After a day off in Rochester, New York, that consisted mostly of lame (read: H&M-less) malls, basketballs, food courts and Bloomin' Onions, it was nice to be back in the venue, seeing all the magic happen. Also, some people have an idea about New Englanders, that being that they're not always very friendly (which I know isn't true as I'm a proud BU alum). But in case you were wondering, this was proven completely wrong last night--everyone from the crowd waiting in line to the crew at the venue were super nice and helpful and generally excited.
Even though FTSK announced they were going to call the show the "Boston" show because they didn't like the name "Worcester," I'm gonna go ahead and say that Worcester was pretty rad. Who knew?
DC, you've got a lot of livin' up to do tonight!

Sorry, but the sound last night in Worcester sucked!! Whoever was working the sound board needs to have their fingers cut off.
we were gonna meet all time low but the crew effd everything up. we were in front of the line, and missed some of their set so we could meet them. We live about an hour away and had school the next day, so we couldn't wait. we ended up leaving and about 20 other people followed.
Other than that we had a great time (:
last night was incredible. simply incredible. met the guys from FTSK! they were soo friendly. shawn from matches was awesome too. i was also pissed that all time low wasn't hanging around like bands usually do...i really wanted to see them and couldnt stay after. it was an amazing night though =]
H&M less malls are horrid.
