top tickets of 2005

Continuing the lists, these are the top events I attended this year:

• Washington Nationals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks - April 14, RFK Stadium:
  The Washington Nationals home opener - the President threw out the first pitch, the home team won, and baseball is back in DC.
  
• The Decemberists - May 6, 9:30 Club:
  Kassie came to visit me for a long weekend and we went to this show. It was good.
  
• Kaiser Chiefs - July 22 - 9:30 Club:
  Best show by a band with which I was not very familiar.
  
• Portland Beavers vs. Las Vegas 51s - August 27, PGE Park, Portland:
  While visiting Kelly and Scot, we went to this minor league baseball game. The final score was 11-9, with all kinds of offense, and Kelly, Scot and I had a great time.
  
• Sigur Ros - September 11, Strathmore Music Center:
  The Strathmore is a beautiful venue, as was Sigur Ros' performance.
  
• The New Pornographers - October 15, 9:30 Club:
  The best concert I saw this year.

Off to Copenhagen...
