i was at first unitarian on march 26 for xiu xiu, and again last friday, april 25 for eisley. they could hardly have been more different shows, but that's not the real story, because there was a month of other concerts in between. they were each at a different venue, starting with cowboy bar in mechanicsburg, chameleon, starlight ballroom and the troc.
an intense month of concerts matched an intense month in life, which probably helped keep things sane, in the end. like driving in high school.
the other thing i was thinking is that first unitarian is a pretty ideal church. it's a great catchall for things that need a place that don't have one. it hosts homeless meals and a children's center during the day and small time concerts at night. cheap tickets, intimate setting, no bouncers. unless the crowd is obnoxious it's pretty much a guaranteed good show. it's funny, i don't think i've ever ran into any unitarians there.
