Walking Backwards

Why yes, that was me at Depeche Mode last night, thank you for asking.

Last night Maria and I went to go see the band that I have the most CD's of and have seen in concert the most times. This makes 6 times total that I have seen Depeche Mode. I'm such a groupie. I probably should have at least listened to their new CD before going, though, as that was what they played the most of. You have to give me a break on this one because I was in another country at the time it was released. The people there were different than I'm used to seeing at a DM concert. There were a lot of baseball caps and tube tops, not quite like the monochromatic goth gear that was most prevalent on their Songs of Faith and Devotion tour. I was not made to feel old their either. Most of the crowd was around my age or slightly older, making the fact that they were screaming out for songs off their newer albums all the more odd. They did not play the songs I most wanted them to play, but did throw in a few of their old favorites - Personal Jesus, Question of Time - for good measure. So good all in all. I didn't particularly care for the guy elbowing me in my boob while standing in line for t-shirts, but the guy in front of me who kept forgetting what his wife told him to get and kept asking me was pretty funny. Yes, pretty good all in all.
