Does anyone else just want to bring pocketfuls of confetti into Hold Steady shows like I do?
There's just something about the album art from BAGIA that makes me want to go clean out Party City before heading to the bar just so I can throw it up in the air and go ape shit crazy like I normally do at their shows.
Hopefully this will happen one day.

Hopefully this will happen one day. you know, i was pretty skeptical of the confetti phenomenon until i was right in the middle of a confetti throw in philly. we filled the front rows with it i think. the air shimmered, the band was stoked, it was party. do it.

Question: does anyone in the front row mind being covered in GLITTER?

Where the heck is howardfinkel??? He's the originator of confetti (w/glitter)!!
Nothing like being picked up from a HS show by the hotel van when covered in glitter confetti.

I seem to leave almost every hold steady show covered in confetti. The show at McCarren was probably the most epic - it had been raining and we were all soaked, so anyone standing anywhere near howardfinkel was covered. I think there's a picture of it somewhere.

There wasn't any confetti at McCarren.
Just me being injured/wet.

Anyway, rain + confetti + THS = a good time.

Yeah, both shows were outside, really rainy. But it was howardfinkel, with the confetti, in Chicago. It's great that so many of the same people were at both and they were cross-country.

I inhaled the confetti at Pitchfork. There are just some times where it's better to keep your mouth shut...haha. I did it too in Milwaukee, but it was glitter confetti, which made it much smaller and easier to choke on. Ugh. I have lasting memories of Juliet doing her best to stand up but being absolutely caked in it.

I'm glad it's happened before and I think I'm going to do it when I (hopefully) catch a show in the spring.
