Great!
Hope everyone (including Dan and the band) escaped the tornados and storms out there.

We left to go back to home (3.5-4 hours) immediately after the show and I am just waking up. But speaking of the tornado, the weather was INSANELY BAD the entire way back. We had to stop on the side of the road a few times because we couldn't see through the rain (and, at times, hail) and because the wind was blowing the car around. When we got back into Arkansas, there was constant lightning everywhere. I have never seen it like that. It was very frightening. I turned on the radio and it said that we were under a tornado watch. Not was warning, mind you, a watch. And then our electricity was out. But all that aside, the show was pretty incredible. Even though we showed up WAY too early. Apparently "Trivia Clash" is not an opening band, but rather a stupid trivia thing that they do at the bar. So, you know, we were there three hours before the opening band even began setting up. It was kind of heartbreaking that only like eight people kept clapping for the encore. I've got some pictures, too, which I'll post when I get some time. Although I'm not sure how they turned out. Also, I took a video of "From Oakland to Warsaw", but I don't know how that turned out either. I guess we'll see.

Excellent footage, do you have anymore that we can upload? Saw Destroyer in NYC couple weeks ago, best of all his tours. Most youtube videos just don't do Destroyer any justice to how fantastic they were live.
