IDKHOW the District of Consent

   We went to another IDKHOW concert!  This time it was the usual suspects along with River and Mickey.  It was at a The Atlantis this time and there are things I liked about this one and things I liked about the other one.  The other one had the bathrooms on a separate floor and the show space was bigger, so it wasn't too bad to get to them once you got through the crowd.  Getting to the bathroom at this one was a pain from the mass of bodies if you weren't already near it.  I did like how much closer to the stage everyone got to be.  The Atlantis used reusable plastic cups and had collection bins for them all over the place, that was pretty cool.

  The opener was the Benches.  I don't think I've ever heard of them before, but I did like their music.  I'll keep them in mind if I need someone new to listen to.

  IDKHOW has very recently released a new album.  It definitely has a different vibe from the first and I was curious how the more mellow songs would do in concert.  They are good on CD but are better in person.
  At one point Dallon came down into the audience and asked that no one try and pull his hair or touch him.  When he got back to the stage he asked if the "C" in "DC" stood for consent because everyone had listened to his requests.
  The setlist was a good mix of the old album, new album, and some throwback songs from a previous band he was in.  He even got a little catty over some of his previous bands, but in a very funny and subtle way.
  We actually played adult peekaboo this time before we got the encore.  It was a great show, and it makes sense that they keep selling out where they are playing.

Deer Signals and Pi(e) Day

  I saw some deer laying down in my backyard.  At some point one of them stood up and was looking really intently at the neighbor's back door.  It stomped its front right hoof and the others looked in the same direction.  It then stomped its back right leg and the other deer stood up.  One stayed down and wasn't looking very impressed by everything.  After a bit, everyone laid back down when nothing happened.

  It's apparently pretty hard to find frozen juice concentrates that aren't orange, apple, or lemonade.  Bill needed some cranberry/raspberry concentrate for one of the pies he wanted to make.  I was able to find one that was cranberry only in a liquid format.  It seems that not many of Bill's coworkers have heard about a Shoofly pie, but they were willing to give it a try.  The cranberry/blueberry was super popular.
