Best concert of 2009

Favorite Concert: Seeing the cast of it’s alway’s sunny in philadelphia perform the nightman cometh at the troubadour in la. I know its not really a concert, but there were songs so it counts. I think about charlie more than I think about any person I know in real life. Seeing him live was special.
