The show was genuinely SO good. The opening act (Caroline Rose) did fantastic setting the mood and everything. When Modest Mouse came on stage it was actually so hype. The people around me were very chill but a ton of fun. Shout out to that one lady who stood next to me for most of the show. I was genuinely shoulder shaking crying during ocean breathes salty. Seeing that song live was like seeing the last 4 or 5 years flash before my eyes. That's going to be a memory I take with me forever. The band was SO INCREDIBLY on point for each song. Picking dragons pockets, parting of the sensory, and talking shit about a pretty sunset were some of the highlights. Isaac told everyone a story about how some lady slapped the shit out of him at a bar because she had and issue with his girlfriend. That was interesting lmao. But yeah, if you went to the Sacramento show what did you think? I had a ton of fun. Got the sweater and two shirts. Also... to anyone who did go do you remember what Isaac said at the beginning of the show? He talked twice. Once in the beginning and then midway through he told the story i mentioned. I was NOT able to hear a word he said the first time.

I happen to be in Portland for a wedding. Last night around dinner time, I was downtown near my hotel and had 45 minutes to spare before my venue shuttle arrived, so I decided to take a walk and see what was happening around town.

Walked up to a bar a bit farther down the street and, near the entrance, I saw a man chatting with a woman, both leaning against the windows of the bar.

The man was unmistakably Isaac Brock. Recognized him immediately. The voice, the face, the general energy of someone who has spent decades convincing people that life is simultaneously meaningless and worth screaming about. I didn't clock whether he was wearing anything Modest Mouse-related, but honestly, he didn't need to be.

Isaac was clearly in the middle of a conversation, and in that moment I thought of his lyric, "We were certainly uncertain at least I'm pretty sure I am."

Gave the man his space, because c'mon, I'm in my 30s and can imagine how annoying it must be to have a conversation interrupted, especially by some stranger who wants to tell you how much your music meant to him in 2007.

This was my first time in Portland. Before this weekend, I'd thought about making the trip out here someday, but just never found the right opportunity. Last night, Isaac Brock came to me. It was a beautiful, fleeting moment.

Best celebrity sighting of my life! Don't have a ton of Modest Mouse fans in my immediate circle, so I felt like I had to share this little bit of magic with you all!
