Today we walked a lot. We wanted to become more familiar with how New York functioned, and see what it had to offer. We took the number 2 train to the north side and walked down central park from there. Walking down from central park we went all the way down to union square. Underway we went to a lot of shops including a four story Barnes and Noble, with an incredible diversity in books. The Chinese restaurant we ate at had really good noodles, and in my opinion the meat was okay. The doors opened at 7 and the queue was longer than expected as it went around the block. It was really crowd inside, and a lot of people were already there one hour before the opening band for the opening band would even start. The Rooks -a local rock band- started the show with an explosive performance. The vocalist had an amazing voice, and it really shone through that they had something to prove. Next up was Dumbfoundead, a band that apparently had gotten some recognition, judging by the volume of the audience as they started. The South-Korean rapper was awesome and brought up some deep problems in society as well as he rapped about drugs and other less serious things. It was impressive to experience, how these bands were able to keep us interested in 2 hours before George Watsky arrived. I read a recent review of one of his concerts, which said that Watsky really knew how to party. That was very much true. He played the best of his songs from his new album "Cardboard Castles" and told us that we were the biggest crowd he had ever performed in front of. After the concert I decided to buy a t-shirt from The Rooks to support them.
