OK, so I did miss Duran Duran's first song of the set but judging by conflicting reports of the badass-ness (or lack thereof) of said song, I think I did OK by making it by the time they struck up "Hungry Like the Wolf."

Also of note: If you're going to Memorial Auditorium you should know this: you can sneak in a fake leopard-skin flask filled with rum...but not a compact, non-pointy-tipped umbrella.

I'm really bummed that I had to sacrifice my ultra-compact, non-obnoxious Nautica umbrella for the sake of the show...but so it goes, another rock'n'roll casualty.
