have you ever wanted to be treated like a probable criminal by college kids on a power-trip acting like security guards at a gymnasium? yes? well, then you should have come with us to see the decemberists at amherst college last night!

all of that frisking and yelling aside, it was a really good show. a nice mix of songs from many albums rather than from only the new one as we had feared.

excuse the crummy pic. the thugs made sure that no cameras got in. yeah, well, take that security kids - an image was recorded on your watch!

in other news, the seasonal special beer “wedding witte” at amherst brewing company was really yummy.
