Against Me! completely owned the show, as they should, 'cause they're awesome. I loved their setlist, though it surprised me that they didn't start with "Pints of Guinness Make You Strong" I thought they always started with that song (mainly 'cause they did the other 2 times I saw them). But they played that song 2nd, so oh well haha. Anyway, Against Me! was amazing.
With regards to the opening acts, Dave Hause was also quite good. I had never heard of him before the concert, but I thoroughly enjoyed his set. The other opener however, was the opposite. We Were Skeletons, a local band from Lancaster...I hated them. The guitar/drums in their stuff was cool, but as soon as any vocals started it was ruined. All they did was scream, and nothing they said could be understood. I was pretty sure they weren't even saying actual words. Though I will say that the initial 5 minutes of noise and then hearing how silly the one guy's voice when he talks is made it slightly worth it.
As for the venue, it was nice, if a bit small. The drinks weren't too overpriced, at least the non-alcoholic ones anyway. I'm only 19, so I couldn't even go up to where the that stuff was, so I'm not sure what those prices were like.
Overall it was an awesome show and Against Me! did not disappoint (like they ever could).

Favorite moment: All of Against Me! as well as Dave Hause. Not We Were Skeletons at all, they sucked. @
Setlist: Don't know anything for We Were Skeletons/Dave Hause, but what I remember from Against Me! is (and definitely not in the right order): High Pressure Low, Pints of Guinness Make You Strong, White Crosses, Because of the Shame, Russian Spies, Don't Lose Touch, TSR, White People for Peace, Thrash Unreal, New Wave, Tonight We're Gonna Give It 35%, I Was A Teenage Anarchist, Violence, Miami, Walking is Still Honest, Reinventing Axl Rose, Sink Florida Sink, and I am pretty sure that is all, might be forgetting 1 or 2 songs. @
Opening act(s): We Were Skeletons (terrible)
Dave Hause (great) @
