Walking Up And Down J Street

Passing back and forth in front of the Memorial Auditorium, it was clear a crowd was lining up. I asked a fellow what the event was, and he said it was the Paramore and Jimmy Eat World concert this evening. Wow! Four hours before they start, and people are lining up!

A big, black limousine pulled up to the curb as I passed by. The back window rolled down, and a girl, looking all of sixteen years of age, peered out. In a minute, her and three of her friends emerged from the car. The car could easily hold thirty people. I wonder what they plan to do with all the extra space?

According to punknews.org:

Mesa, Arizona's Jimmy Eat World have announced a co-headlining tour with whippersnappers Paramore. Said Jimmy Eat World singer Jim Adkins:

"We're very excited for the upcoming tour with Paramore. We got to know them last December while playing festivals together. They put on a great show and we think it's going to be an awesome bill."

Adds Hayley Williams (Paramore):

"If it all ends tomorrow, we will be happy knowing that we got a tour with the band that gave us a reason to play music."
