Got the KOL shoeshine!

So last night was the infamous second Kings of Leon concert. We started out the night at the hookah bar, and i won't say what all went down (i wouldn't want to embarass sara), but it was a great start to the night. I walked out of the and almost tripped a couple times just cause my legs felt so light. Then we headed over to the paramount, and i'm kinda surprised we found it cause i was going off of directions that i had read a week in advance, and it's right off of colfax, but we made it there without getting prostituted all over the place, and got inside.

We missed the first band, which i assume was ok, and got to hear the secret machines, who i hadn't heard before, but i was pretty impressed with them. They had a really distinct sound, and got a good beat going, getting me pumped for the kings. Also, their lights show was out of this world, mostly because it looked like some alien ship trying to give us seizures with their strobe lights, but it was still pretty fun to look at.

Then the Kings came on and rocked the house. They actually played a pretty short set, but it was really high energy so we left without feeling cheated. They sounded awesome and got pretty much everyone out of their seats and dancing. Excellent. There's not much more to say about them, except they kicked ass, southern rock style.

Johnson's corner capped off the night. Their renovations made me real skeptical, but i'll just wait and see how it all turns out. The food was excellent as ever, though. And now that i'm typing this, i realized that i forgot i got a cinnamon roll there. Gotta go...
