September 29, 2013. My second depeche mode show in a week after seeing them a couple of days earlier in Chula Vista.
I got downtown early enough to look for Seven Grand. I had heard that this bar serves a proper Mint Julep, my favorite cocktail. After a bit of walking around, I found the bar's upstairs entrance. I had gotten there a bit early and had to wait for it to open. I was happy to see it was prepared in a metal cup and packed with ice. However, the cup was a bit small compared to the last one I had had and it left me disappointment.
I walked over to Staples Center and checked out the merchandise table. I bought a really nice and comfortable hoodie, but you could barely tell it was branded. What I really like about the hoodie is that the pockets are really deep. My keys or phone never fall out.
I went to find my seats and was pleased to find that two rows in front of me were empty. For a short person like myself, I was in heaven. No shoulders to look over or heads in the way.
Here's some videos from the show recorded with my Nokia 808 Pureview.
Walking In My Shoes
Precious
Behind the Wheel
Sooth My Soul
A Pain That I'm Used To
Enjoy the Silence
Just Can't Get Enough
This last video is interesting. One of the band members fucked up and they had to start the song over.
