I’ve been a huge fan of the band The Magnetic Fields since I discovered their album, 69 Love Songs, in 2005 when I was in college. I listened to that album (it’s actually three albums, 69 songs split into three volumes) obsessively for at least six months, possibly a year. I’ve wanted to see them perform live since then, but combine my limited college funds with their sporadic tour schedule and it seemed like it wasn’t going to be.

Until I saw the other day that they were scheduled to perform in Los Angeles at the legendary Orpheum Theatre in March. I was so excited, I convinced my brother (my frequent concert buddy) to go along with me and he agreed!

The show is a couple of weeks after my birthday and I can’t think of anything I’d like more than to see one of my favorite bands LIVE. I can’t wait to see them!

Do you like to go to concerts? What was your favorite concert going experience?
