To balance out the moping about the state of my body...
The concert was amazing. I've waited ten years to see Cloud Cult. I discovered them almost 10 years ago. 2008, they popped up on a Pandora station. That was, sadly, the last time they toured in the southeast and I was between jobs (recovering from a shoulder surgery) so I couldn't go.
The first half was them playing the score, live, to their movie (while it played). I cried, twice (the first time blindsided me; I hadn't even listened to that particular track in months).
The second half was a mix of their songs being played. Some I barely knew, some I know by heart. And the entire crowd on their feet, singing along. I have never, ever seen a crowd at a show that invested in the music. I am so used to seeing a mix of people at concerts; fans those there because 'it's a concert.' The Neptune theater is kind of an intimate venue to begin with, but everyone there from the couple in their 70s to the 10-year-old there with his mother... were fans.
But having the entire place singing Everybody Here is a Cloud will stick as one of the finer memories in my life. You know it's good when the band is grinning their ears off, too.
I may be in a lot of pain today, but I can't think of a finer send off before my move to Austin than that concert.
