    It must be an incredible and nostalgic feeling playing songs that were released 17 years ago, and to think all that's gone on in your lives but you're still up there with your pals playing those songs from way back when. I always felt as though listening to American Football was like reading a diary or journal because they really encapsulated being young and put themselves into what they wrote. And that to me is what makes their music so captivating; let alone their outstanding musicianship. Each one of them has inspired me as I step into music and art being a 16 year old kid. I think about maybe being up on stage with my pals 17 years from now and playing some tunes we're writing now and it makes me smile. AF forever. ♥️

    Easily the most under appreciated bands of the weekend, for emo legends it was such a small crowd, but then again it only made it more intimate. I was legitimately disappointed that everyone sang along to Never Meant but not The Summer Ends. Also Mike Kinsella was fucking funny. And why does the drummer look in pain throughout most of the show. There is so much to talk about from this show its just impossible to structure it so it sounds conversational I just want to be there again.
