I'm always reminded of why I love IC so much when I go to shows. Regardless of the fact that Cornell's got almost 4 times our student body, it's always the Ithaca College kids packing the front rows. Every time, without fail, we come the earliest, stay the latest, and sing the loudest. Last weekend's They Might Be Giant's show at the State Theater was no exception.

The John's put on a fantastic set of awkwardly awesome nerd-rock, complete with the best confetti cannons I've seen since last I saw the Flaming Lips. While they featured a lot of fabulous stuff off their new album "Science Is Real", they made sure to fit in their best loved songs as well. Istanbul (not Constantinople), Birdhouse In Your Soul, and Don't Let's Start were all definite crowd favorites, but nothing beat the explosion of geeky goodness when they closed with Ana Ng and confetti cannons streaming. Totally awesome.
