Who Threw The Shoe? (fun to say out loud)

All the Superfolk headed off to see Arcade Fire last week, and boy we had a great time.
Lucky old Anders even got to go backstage and meet some of the band who re-christened him the Sheriff of Nottingham. We danced, sang, got funny looks from people around us who could hear the singing... it was great.

Until, that is, someone threw a shoe at Win Butler's head during an emotional crescendo.
Who does that? Who threw the shoe? While I think it's wrong and whoever did it should really be ashamed, the thing that really sticks with me about the whole affair is that they threw a shoe... Did they come prepared or go home with one bare foot? If anyone knows the answer, please let us know!


One of our party was so disheartened by the whole affair he penned this email to Win:

I love the thought of punches as karmic retribution.

Anyway, to sum up, Arcade Fire are ace, shoe throwers are not.
