Fan Recaps and Comments

Bluef00t:

WOW x2. Factory Showroom was the album theme I was hoping to catch with attending the first couple shows, and I'd worried that Till My Head Falls Off yesterday was a consolation prize! Plus, the AC seemed to have been sorted out--still hot, flat, and crowded, but with cooler breezes coming off the stage.

On a more frustrated note, there was a very nice couple we spoke to during Set 1, one of whom was in a wheelchair. They left to use the bathroom during intermission and I didn't see them during Set 2--I naively assumed they'd found a more accessible spot. I later learned that the crowd had been unwilling to part for the wheelchair, leaving them unable to return to the front. I know that the jerks at the back are probably not TMBW-recap-readers, but seriously, do better, people.
