So the They Might Be Giants show was cool last night. We arrived shortly before they went on to play…a mistake. The show was at a Borders in Vienna and the place was mobbed. We were pushed way back against some bookshelves and couldn’t really see the stage. The Borders employees did lead the band right past us, though, which was neat. My son yelled “Hi, Johns!” as they went by. (For the uninitiated, both of the primary band members are named John).

So they played and we listened (being unable to see anything) with my kid on my shoulders dancing and clapping and, upon recognizing songs as they started, shouting out song names.

Afterwards, we stood in line and got our copy of “Here Come The ABCs” signed for the little guy (I refrained from bringing my whole collection) and our copy of “Bed, Bed, Bed.” The two Johns looked exhausted as we posed for a picture with them, but Flans mock-secretly gave my kid an extra handful of stickers.

Fun fun fun.
