270 -- Jimmy Eat World -- Wednesday, December 7, 2022 -- The Anthem -- DC

--- “Futures” is good, “Pain” is better, and “Bleed American” is foolproof!!! The crowd isn’t top-tier, but “Bleed American” burns with anyone.

--- “The Anthem is amazing. We’ve never played here before.” This is true. Points for personalization.

--- I wish “All The Way” would not “Stay”!

--- “Big Casino”!! Glad I got to share it with New Jersey Success Story Gail Schiefelbein.

--- I’m “Sure and Certain” there are better songs they could have included.

--- “A Praise Chorus”!!!!! The best rendition of “A Praise Chorus” I’ve heard since my wedding. The audience decided to shift from solid to superstars, singing, feeling every moment. Ben and I leap, sway, and scream the whole way through.  

--- Heh, Ben is making me doubt “Big Casino” is on Chase This Light and “Work” is not “23.” Right on both counts. 

--- Awwwwww at Ben not being able to go to the bathroom, wanting Tyler to like them, tearing through lyrics left and right, and geeking out on “23”‘s similarities to “Goodbye Sky Harbor”!!!! Love having someone to match my animation/appreciation.

--- “Blister” after “23”!!! Smart placement.

--- “It’s crazy that 30 years later, you still care”!! That we do.

--- “We didn’t have ambitions to have financial stability or freedom. We did for the music -- and you.”

--- “Something Loud” is strong for a new song!

--- “Lucky Denver Mint”: aww at the jumper in front of me who’s all into it. Danny and I both lol. Good for him.

--- And…down goes Frazier. The jumper falls to the floor. My group help him up.

--- I wish "The Middle" had been second-to-last and "Sweetness" last, but as long as we get "Sweetness." It was especially rewarding to see Ben's friend so into the song, livestreaming it for her. It's worth a livestream!!!

--- Aww at talking briefly with Ben and Gail’s group after. I’m almost never with a group at a show, so it’s nice. 

--- Awww at a guy listening to songs on his phone in the street on the way back! Plus, Danny and I tear through “Always Be,” “Pass The Baby,” and in the car on the way home!! It’s been a pleasure, Danny: gracias por los recuerdos.
