the postal service @ the fox theater pomona.

Last night, Weston told me that the first time he ever heard The Postal Service, he was in middle school, sitting at his grandparents house, watching the TV guide channel. And in the top corner, where they were always playing something to distract you during the channel scrolling, they were showing The Postal Service.

I don't remember the very first time that I heard them,
but I do remember having Such Great Heights as my profile song on MySpace.
(holla for my top 8, what whaaaat)

And more than anything, I remember listening to them in the car on my first date with Weston.
Which is a top 10 favorite memory for me.

I was completely elated that we were able to grab a couple of tickets to their show in Pomona, especially considering how quickly they sold out! And I was even more happy when the day arrived and I was feeling well. :) Little victories!


The day before the show, I found out that my cousin was going to be the stage managing that night and he was able to snag us a couple wristbands for the pit! It was suuuuper nice just showing up when we wanted, without having to wait in line forever and still getting pretty close to the front! More little victories!

I was so happy that Jenny Lewis performed with them and I was so happy that they sounded just as wonderful in person and I was so happy that they played every song I'd hoped to hear and I was just so happy about everything.

Be still my heart....

    Sounds like you had a good time! We're not seeing them for another month, but I'm starting to get more excited for it. :)

    That's awesome! I like the Postal Service, but haven't ever seen them in concert.

    I am SO jealous right now. My husband and I got tickets for the Utah show, but then realized we were going to be out of town. Missing Postal Service AND Jenny is just too much. I'm trying to block it out of my brain. But I LOVE these pictures, and I'm glad you got to see them and were feeling good for the concert! I saw Bright Eyes at that venue once. That isn't really relevant.

      Ah, what a bummer! Jenny is a sweeeet musician. I hadn't realized how many different instruments she could play until she was bopping around stage, switching between instruments every two minutes. That girl is so cool. Seeing Bright Eyes sounds like a great time - The Fox isn't too shabby for a local venue! :)
