Some Nights (The Beacon)

As someone whose idea of a fun concert includes being able to push people and vice versa to the edge of the stage so that the lead singer is just within arm's reach (STRFKR, anyone?), the Fun. concert at the Scnhitz on Broadway this past Friday didn't quite fit my usual definition of the word, with its assigned seating and lack of violation of personal space. In spite of this, and the fact that I was stuck viewing the concert behind a bald, big burley man, Fun. was pretty fun.
An energetic rapper named Chiddy Bang opened for the concert, hyping up the crowd. A bit of the energy faded in between performers, but as soon as lead singer, Nate Ruess, skipped onto the stage, everyone stood up, danced at the seats and started signing along to "Carry On." The rest of the concert was filled with lively, happy music, making the night a fun Fun. time.
