franz ferdinand @ the hollywood palladium.
(taken on palm pre)

after work we drove over to hollywood for the show. we got there an hour early so we grabbed dinner at magnolia on sunset, which is pretty much right across the street. we each had the cocktail special, a magnolia gimlet, which was really more of a hybrid of a gimlet and a mojito (but with vodka). i had the burger, and dan got the skirt steak. the food was simple but really fresh and good - perfect for a pre-show dinner.

we mosied on over to the palladium right around 8. i've never been, but it's really amazing inside. like an old converted dance hall / roller rink or something. the opening bands were neverever and the blood arm. both LA locals i believe, and pretty good. franz ferdinand finally went on right before 9.30p and played for about 1.5 hours, and oh-em-gee they are absolutely freaking amazing / awesome / mind-blowing and put on such a great great show. loved loved loved it, and them.
