Animal Collective - Jan 16th

My friend Robin invited me to join her and her friend Rebecca to see Animal Collective in concert. Only problem was I was too late getting tickets and scalpers where selling 20 euro tickets for 60. While trying to decide what to do we sat at a cafe next to the club and got beers. Not ten minutes later a guy a few tables down leans over and says, "you're not from France are you?" Turns out he is the opening act for Animal Collective and upon learning that I need a ticket, he slips off his "all access" wristband and hands it over to me. True story, free concert. His name is Doug, I wish I could remember more. Thanks Doug! Best of luck becoming a rockstar.
