Hi, Hoddlers! It’s a brand new era for Cartilage Free Captain — a new site, a new design, and new fun tools to play with like The Feed, which can be used by our lovely community members (that’s you) to post what used to be FanShots and FanPosts. Hope you find it useful. Please don’t abuse it.
Currently, as site manager I’m the only one with posting permissions and they haven’t told me how to enable Matty, Fitzie, Sebastian, et al. So for today, you get me on the Hoddle.
I may work for a performing arts venue at a liberal arts college in my day job, but I’m not much of a concert-going person lately. I got out of the habit during COVID and then battling cancer meant that I really didn’t have a ton of energy, and the last thing I wanted to do was spend it fighting crowds at a show. But a couple of weeks ago, I went with the whole family to see my favorite band, Lord Huron, in Indianapolis on the opening night of their new tour. They released their new album the same day as the concert, so we were among the first to hear the new songs and see the new show.
I loved it. It was an amphitheater venue and we had lawn tickets, but it was small enough that we could easily see the stage. Indigo De Souza opened for them, and she was also good. I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face the entire time.
My energy levels still aren’t quite up to 100% after surgery last month, so I was pretty spent by the time we got back to the hotel, but it was well worth it.
