San Diego last night

(UPDATED 5/31, all videos up now)

Yesterday, UC San Diego held their annual Senior Sendoff Bear Garden and We Are Scientists headlined the event with The Henry Clay People and Moostache.

What a show, San Diego- it was such a blast to see such an energetic crowd. The guys were on top form, and of course, charming the crowd with talks about “bear” and Keith’s hairstyles. I can’t imagine a better way to end a school year.

I don’t have the exact setlist, but I do remember the songs that were played, not all of it in order:

Impatience, Let’s See It, This Scene is Dead, Inaction,Chick Lit, Nobody Move
After Hours, Can’t Lose, Cash Cow, Textbook, It’s a Hit, Lethal Enforcer, Great Escape

and there was a very unexpected encore after lots of LOUD chants of “ONE MORE SONG” after the usual finale of The Great Escape:

Lousy Reputation and RAM IT HOME.

A selection of pictures from the show are below and the full set can be viewed at my Flickr page for it:

    Lovin’ Chris’s hair in these pics. They all look so cool and casual, and I WANT Keith’s jean jacket and Adam’s glasses! Gah, too bad they’re not in Washington a lot. I would be running around the Puget Sound all the time going to surprise shows.

    Nice pics Renee!

    I forgot to say earlier that the pictures are great Renee :D

    Kerstin’s point about Keith and Max’s hair is quite true, it is looking rather similar at the moment. And I swear Max’s hair is longer and longer in every picture I see.

    haha, yes. it is. :lol:
    I love how all of them have curly or at least wavy hair. it’s so adorable.

        That is one sexy screen cap. I almost switched teams on that one. Almost. ;)

          oh. your right. that IS sexy. I just noticed the non existent distance between Keith’s lips and the microphone. niiiice. but as you said, almost. just almost. ;)

    the pics are lovely, the boys are all looking rather dashing.
    i actually love keith’s hair at the moment, and chris looks really sweet in these pictures.
    and i agree that they do look all youthful, maybe it’s all this resting :)

    also… only at a WAS show could a fan get a piggy back ride during a song :P
