Sufjan is amazing. We went to his concert in Seattle this weekend and I came home with a huge crush on him. He is everything I love: super awkward, super quirky, and super talented. Don't worry, Erik has a crush on him too so we have an understanding.
His concert was amazing. He's gotten a bit of flak because of his new album, Age of Adz. It is a very different than his previous albums and there are more than a few people who don't like it. I, however, love it! He played through almost the entire album at his concert and it was awesome!!!! He warmed us up with Seven Swans and then dove right into his new stuff... and I loved every minute of it. It probably helped that I had been listening to his new album incessantly.
Sufjan though. Back to him. I love him! We were in the 10th row (only $30!) so I had a very nice view of the man and I certainly enjoyed it. He is so awkward and I adore awkward. I don't even know how to explain why I enjoyed him so much... He's just Sufjan. I know the photo below is blurry, but it's the best one I have. It was difficult for me to focus on both holding my camera still and enjoying the show.
The concert was October 30 so Sufjan had his band dress up for halloween which was pretty funny. One of his band members, a trombonist, came out in a little dress with an umbrella that he twirled around. I know it sounds pretty typical, but it was hilarious!! We were laughing so hard every time he graced us with his presence.
We had the pleasure of enjoying the concert at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle. It was an absolutely stunning venue. Erik says it was originally built for ballet. It was gorgeous! There were chandeliers all over the place as or even more beautiful than this one.
The ceiling looked like this!
And this is what the balcony looked like (Erik snuck up there to take this picture). All of my pictures from our seats were blurry because I couldn't hold my hand still. Imagine it as magnificent as this though. It was incredible!
And in case you aren't sick of hearing about Sufjan yet, listen to this next song. It's in two parts because the song is 25 minutes long. It is wonderful for car rides... eight times through and I would be at my parent's doorstep.
