I attended the sold out Honda Civic Tour this weekend in Seattle at the gorgeous Paramount Theatre. I was lucky enough to see the tour while I was in Chicago recently, as well. I’ve been chummy with the Panic boys and Hush Sounders for some time now so it was great to see all of them. Also, as you maybe know, I love Phantom Planet. And boy can they put on a show. I even got to talk with Alex about Donnie Darko 2 and how Self-Titled is their Pinkerton. He was quite nice. And seemingly very talented at Wii.
The Hushers rocked it as always. Bob, you still owe me a serenade session. I want “Out Through The Curtain”. I’ve always loved the “place all your bets and watch me lose” line.
When I saw the tour in Chicago, I ended up missing Panic play “Behind The Sea”, which is one of my favorite songs off Pretty. Odd. Spencer was nice enough to dedicate Saturday’s rendition to me. Love that guy. I concluded my night on Panic’s bus, playing sing-a-long with Brendon and Greta. Brendon can play any song you can name. Including “Cumbersome”. Then we played the last level of Portal just to get to hear the credits song. Anyone else obsessed with it?
What a night.

Hellooooo, you forgot to post your pics
Sounds like you had a great time. I have so many questions for Alex. Raise the Dead is full of secrets and he’s more than happy to reveal the answers if you ask. It’s so nice that Spencer has a mic on this tour!

That tour was amazing. Phantom Planet came out and played acoustic at the show I went to; it was mind-blowing.
