Actually, Camera Obscura was great, the audience was just incredibly obnoxious.

I was upfront, surrounded on all sides by people chatting about their workout sets and friends and “omg isn’t this band cute??” “play That Song!” throughout the whole show. It was infuriating. Why go to a show only to talk through it? Why ruin the experience of everyone around you? Tracyanne Campbell even changed the lyrics to “Books Written for Girls” to mention when people talk through songs, which was awesome. I was pissed, and I don’t blame them for being pissed.

Dear Vancouver, only go to a concert if you intend on showing the performers and fellow audience members enough respect to spare them the details of your boring life when we’re all there to be quiet and listen.

Ah nevermind. That didn’t play out as bitchy as I thought it would.
