So I went to see Arcade Fire with my buddy Brad at Radio City Music Hall tonight.

I realize that this is totally unrelated to education and building a business, except that I was amazed with how Arcade Fire created its sound. It got me thinking about how to manage a team of talented people. Arcade Fire had 10 different players on stage and it was remarkable to see them interchanging instruments and roles on stage. Amidst this creative chaos Win Butler, the lead singer stayed in total control.

As PlansForUs grows I am going to work hard to be like Win Butler (albeit a lot less cool and not Canadian), letting the various PlansForUs players reach their highest use regardless of what instrument/role they choose to play.

Finally, The National was the opening act and they were awesome. It is no wonder that they sold out 5 consecutive nights at the Bowery Ballroom. I think that I am going to have to get a couple tickets for that show.

Thanks to Brad for getting these tickets and inviting me along. It was an amazing show, definitely among the tops that I have seen.

Now back to business.
