[icecreamdisco]

eh, i can't really see it being a particularly bad crowd. no worse than any gig or music-related shindig i've been to.

besides, i'll be there.

 

[fake_mcdickpant]

[lessthanthree]

wow, i really wanna see this. i'll try to get off work early again.

 

[icecreamdisco]

i assume the movie will start after the band, so it should end up screening much later.
