Diners, Drive-ins and Dives/The Killers

So last night, I got done with work and had a really fun night planned with a co-worker. We had previously bought tickets to The Killers concert at the Northrop Aud, so we decided to make an afternoon out of it.

Well, we had originally decided to this restaurant the was featured on the show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. We were uber excited and started to make our way there. Well, we get there and realize that it is closed. How bummed were we. Apparently it is not open on Mondays, something we had failed to find anywhere. So we started thinking about plan B for dinner with time running out due to use only planning an extra 2 hrs to eat before the concert.

Also on the same show, another place in MSP was shown, so we decided to hit that one up. Well it took us some time to find it, but once I got was able to determine out location, it was a simple breeze. Now this is 1.5 hr before the start. Well we drive up and see all the chairs on the tables. What the heck. Seriously, is nothing open on Monday? Apparently not as this diner too was closed on Mondays. So now we have a little over an hour to find a place and eat. Oh, Guy you have seriously lead us astray today.......

We decided to just drive down University and find something that would catch our eyes. We ended up finding this nice Neapolitan Pizza restaurant called Pizza Nea which turned out to be really good. I would highly recommend it if you are in Minneapolis just driving down University.

We finally got to the concert about 30 min late, and just missed some of the opening band, M85. The last few songs in the set I actually liked, so I may look into them a bit more.

But the highlight was definitely The Killers. Great concert. I had a blast, and their set list spanned all there albums, picking out not just the commercial popular songs, but also the song that enjoyed just from their albums.

This concert made me want to so see several other of my favorite bands live. So heres to looking online for tour dates.......
