Last night my girlfriend and I attended the Futureheads' show right here in Guelph - or at least we tried to. They were playing in the middle of a bill between Louis XIV (ugh) and Hot Hot Heat (no thanks), and although we were working until 9:45, we figured seeing the band wouldn't be a problem as doors don't open until 9.

Except when we got there they were almost finished their set - we saw 3 songs ("He Knows", "Carnival Kids", "Man Ray"), all great. This is immensely frustrating, yes, but it gets worse:

- My girlfriend had tried to get me to leave work earlier, but I wanted to finish a few things
- The doors actually opened at 8 pm, which was printed right on the tickets I had in my wallet - why I never checked I don't know
- Our supervisor wasn't in that night, so if we'd wanted to leave early it wouldn't have been a problem
- On our way back to the car we walked past the Futureheads' gear being hauled out of the venue and saw a setlist - "Hounds Of Love" was the song right before "He Knows", so if we'd left maybe five minutes earlier we'd have seen it, and judging from the number of songs on the setlist if we'd left a mere twenty or so minutes earlier we would have caught their entire set

I have a fairly significant headache this morning from my own stupidity. Between this and flaking out on seeing them in Toronto at the last moment in February, the Futureheads have eluded me twice. They won't elude me three times.
