(Pardon the lazy writing, I wasn't expecting to write this.)
First off, thank you to Interpol for reminding me just how damn cool the location of my school is.
Around 4 PM, my friend and I happened to go up to the roof of the school to see her new car (a Jeep SUV!) when we heard music coming from across the street at Space 15, a small place for any cool Indie people. We went to the edge of the roof and peered over the wall to see a concert set up. It took my friend a few seconds, but she shouted, "It's Interpol!"
We watched them rehearse for their concert and headed back to class five minutes late.
Once class was over, we had plans to go to Kabuki for dinner. Just as we were about to walk into the parking garage, we heard the music again. They were still playing! "We should go watch," Friend said. So we broke into a sprint--literally--and hauled ass down the sidewalk where people from high balconies cheered at us (not kidding). When we finally got to fence of the concert, panting and antsy, we realized the school roof was still a better view. So we hiked up the driveway of the parking garage and went back to the wall to watch the crowd of about 200 scream at the band and someone even managed to climb onto the roof of Urban Outfitters and snap pictures. About 20 kids from the school were balancing on car bumpers to watch and sing every lyric of their songs and scream to get noticed from the band members (I gave an exaggerated wave during their rehearsal from the roof).
We stayed for about 4 songs and then left for Kabuki.
One of the coolest days ever.
