OK...so...I've been a fan of Refused since I first heard "The Shape of Punk to Come" on the last day of school in 2002 at my friend Matt's house. By that time, they were already broken up and I was more than a little heartbroken that I'd never get to see them live. In fact, for one of my assignments in Creative Writing my senior year, I wrote a fan fiction about seeing Refused live. When they reunited in 2012, I was excited, but also knew they'd probably never play anywhere near Miami because they NEVER PLAY ANYWHERE NEAR MIAMI. Well...now I live in Berkeley! And, hey, whaddya know, Refused decided to go on tour this summer and the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco (which has famously hosted the Grateful Dead in the past and holds only a few hundred people) was one of the first dates on the tour. I pounced on a ticket the exact minute that they went on sale. I was not going to miss an opportunity like this.
