When I brought it up to Donna, it was clear that she really didn&#8217;t want me to go.  I was not home much since I started the new job.  I knew I would be tired, so I was convinced not to go.  I regretted that decision the night of the show and the days afterward.  I really like the band and want to try to support them.  <\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t really think about it or even hear much of the faint music I had playing until the beginning of March was near.  I turned to the last thing I bought.  An album that I was very excited about, since their first album (Rise Ye Sunken Ships) was one of  my favorites of 2011.  Well, I could not stop listening to their new album (Augustines) once I started.  It reminded of the show I missed.  I knew I was going to see them play, if they came back to the Los Angeles area.  To my surprise, I found out today they are playing the exact same club in September.  I have my ticket bought.  And I might even shed a tear when Billy McCarthy sings:<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you ever lost someone<br \/>\nScreamed Holy Mary down the hall<br \/>\nOr cried against a steering wheel<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Because I have.
