You could compare it to 'Riverdance'; it has the same sort of intensity and magic…Well, it's the same thing with us' - Nick...sarcasm much
> The Strokes @ the 4th and B in San Diego on 3rd Feb '02
(thanks and big hugs to Izzy for the review and pics written and taken by her...Izzy that is.)

i left for the show from LA at about 2:30 got there at about 4:30.....
we went & got food & headed for the 4th & B.....
when we got there, we decided to sit in the car & listen to the radio because they were playing the strokes live from Saturday in LA.....we were behind the place were the bus & backstage were....
first we saw Nikolai walk in the venue, then Nick.......so we decided to go over there to get pics, autographs & what not.....
Albert came out & signed autographs & took pics with us....he was soo sweet.....
the Fab & Nickolai came out & did the same.....i only got a pic with Nickolai though.....
we saw Julian walk in the place, but he didnt stop to say hi or anything......
Nick came out after & he was asking all of us there if we were local, he signed autographs & took pics.......

after we waited forever Julian never came out & met with fans, so we went inside.....
we got about 5 people back from the center front of the stage.....
the show was cool, the first guy was soooo funny.....but i dont think people liked him very much.......
the second band kicked ass..........
when the Strokes came out the crowd went crazy.....i couldnt see......& i took as many good pictures i could get......
Julian lost his voice plus he was way drunk......he didnt sing very well....he had people from he opening shows sing songs for him.....
i left the floor after being pushed & pulled......
when i sat at the bleachers a bunch of people were yelling "Julian you suck", "you guys need a new singer" & stuff like that......it was pretty sad....
i left the show after Last Night because it was crazy.....
i went in the back hoping i could get a pic with Julian when the show was over.....
me & a whole crowd of people were waiting for about an hour, when Julian came out he could barely walk, he had some guy holding him up......& they went straight for the bus...
Albert was standing outside the front of the bus with his Kermit the Frog signing autographs & taking Pictures again.....Nikolai went out there also.......

Albert seemed the most friendly & excited meeting with all his fans......
he made my day!

"thats my story & i'm sticking to it!"
