Tragically, I've gone deaf
I went to the Tragically Hip's concert at Moore theatre in Seattle tonight.
It was a really, really great show and the audience was definitely doing its best to match Gord Downie's energy level.
Also, you couldn't escape the feeling that everyone in the crowd was an expat. In every cluster of four or more people, there'd be one with a maple leaf, or a hockey jersey, or something.
Oh, and while waiting for an encore, the audience broke into a loud O Canada. I think tonight was the first time I've actually heard an anthem truly being sung -- you could practically feel the groupthink in the room.

Wow, that sounds like a really cool concert! I'm hoping to get into the Seattle concert scene once I start working there.
