I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: November 15, 2024] Tokyo Police Club / Born Ruffians

I had wanted to see Tokyo Police Club when they came around back in 2021, but their show was the same night as a show I was taking my son to.  So this show, part of their final tour, I grabbed a ticket for immediately.

And then Destroy Boys announced a show for the same night–and I knew my son and daughter would want to go to it.  As I said three years ago:

I was pretty psyched to see them, but it turned out that this show was scheduled for the same night as a Starset show that I would be taking my son to.  Sometimes schedules just don’t align nicely.

So I’ll never get to see Tokyo Police Club.

I do hope I get to see Born Ruffians though.  I’ve liked them for a pretty long time and could have seen them two years ago on a headlining tour, but I stayed home with my son to watch some anime instead.

I do hope it wasn’t their last tour as well.
