19th March 2010

This year’s March I traveled to Atlanta to visit my friend Nina who’s living there with her husband & her little daughter.

There wasn’t much travelling over the country but at least 3 days are remarkable. 19th March we had tickets for the concert for Alkaline Trio at the Masquerade in Atlanta. My first concert ever in the States and as I had so far only seen Alkaline Trio in Germany I was quite curious in how far the concert would be different from one in Europe.

The Masquerade is really a cool venue and it didn’t seem totally sold out but it was quite filled. The crowd was absolutely great and everybody sang with the band who were in a really good mood as well.

The picture is a crappy shot I took with the iphone ..so of very poor quality 🙁

The setlist for the concert was:

This Addiction
Armageddon
Emma
Dine, Dine
We’ve had enough
Lead Poisoning
Mr. Chainsaw
Dead on the Floor
Fatally Yours
Crawl
Off the Map
Private Eye
Blue Carolina
Continental
100 Stories
Sadie
Nose over Tail
97
Fine
Angelfuck (Misfits cover)
Radio

and something they only did at the US shows was that they sold a poster designed by Heather Gabel which is limited to 900 copies and of which one is attached to my working room wall right now. I had to buy a second bag for my flight home to transport it to Germany but it is worth it.
