Despite feeling noticable better about my sinus troubles, and possibly needing only one more night of meticulous medicating, I drove to Columbia for the Against Me! show. As expected, the lack of medicating and sufficient sleep set me back in health recovery. But it was worth it.
First, let me say The Blue Note is a fun venue. It's huge and has a balcony and gilded archways. Fake Problems opened. They were pretty good, especially for an opening act. Riverboat Gamblers next. They had a lot of energy but slowed down a little toward the end of their set because (they claimed) they were all sick. Then Against Me! I sat through the first two bands, but when they opened with A Brief Yet Triumphant Intermission, I had to rise. It was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.
Today, when I got home from work, I had a letter in the mail from Interstate Bakeries. It contained a hard copy of the email I received AND two certificates for any Interstate Bakeries product (e.g. Hostess, Wonder Bread, etc.) It reminded me of my grandmother who wrote letters to companies when their products failed in some way. Once, she wrote a company about a defective alarm clock. They sent her a written apology and a new clock in the mail. Due to a clerical error, the next month she received the same letter and another clock. She ended up getting three or four alarm clocks.
