Upcoming Shows

[bmack86]

I use it quite often...
And I'm throwing in my hat for Yeasayer. They were great...

[amyzzz]

The ellipses imply sarcasm though. Were they actually great, or are you just being polite?

[wmgaretjax]

Hey reach for the stars.

when I'm ready... don't rush me please.

[ShyGuy75]

And I'm throwing in my hat for Yeasayer. They were great...

Even though you left early and didn't see mgmt. Interesting

[bmack86]

Not interested in MGMT because they make boring music that I can't enjoy, no matter how I try.

[wmgaretjax]

Not interested in MGMT because they make boring music that I can't enjoy, no matter how I try.

bingo. I'm seeing both tonight, but I'm pretty sure where my preference lies. I already have seen yeasayer and they were awesome.

[full on idle]

when I'm ready... don't rush me please.

I'm sorry.


Not interested in MGMT because they make boring music that I can't enjoy, no matter how I try.

I don't think they're boring. I like them because they are electro but they still call to mind Prince and the Rolling Stones and other soulful sounds. If I like them, you can find a way to like them, I just know it. You're a thousand times more jovial than me.

[bmack86]

i'll give the anotha chance, because valarie recommends. Serious.

[suprefan]

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. WHY.

again cause they dont care.......

whoops. Yeah I missed them too. Makes me sad, hopefully they will move on west.

Now... When is Amy Grant going to tour again?

[Courtney]

I am just listening to the Oracular Spectacular now for the first time. I don't think I love it as much as Yeasayer for whatever it's worth.

Also I would really, really like to go to the New Pornos with Okkervil River opening. That would be a good show.

[dorkfish]

and punt

[thelastgreatman]

Jared, if you go to that show tonight and come back saying Yeasayer was better than MGMT it will prove that you are a fucking idiot about ALL MATTERS OF TASTE.

Bmack, I'm surprised and appalled. Yeasayer was completely unremarkable in every way. MGMT fucking owned that room. It was a brilliant show, they're going to be one of the best performances of Coachella this year. I'm calling them for this year's Hot Chip in 07-level breakout show, just not as dancey.

I have already seen MGMT. They opened for of montreal last year. I thought they were ok. I am going to watch them on Sunday. I like some of their songs. I have never seen Yeasayer and their new album makes me clap a lot and I love clapping. That is why I said I am looking forward to Yeasayer more.

[flickfan82x]

So far for Feb 6th, I'm going to the Bedouin Soundclash show at the knitting factory, IF i have money & IF it's not sold out....then in march Bad Religion :)

[bballarl]

I saw Ryan Adams at Royce Hall last night, after Bryan's glowing review. First off, I love that venue. The sound is impeccable. I strongly recommend seeing anyone you enjoy who plays there. If you can get tickets at the door, it is especially helpful (I paid $37.50 or so, rather than $50 with all the Ticketmaster service charges.)

I had reservations about seeing Ryan Adams live (his reputation for being hit or miss and the price were the big issues). Bryan's description of the show quelled any fears about that, so I went. Basically, the show was two sets, with lots of talking and joking in between songs. Normally this would have pissed me off, but for some reason it worked...it added to the ramshackle charm of the show, and provided a contrast of sorts between the tunes, which sounded impeccable.

The Cardinals really add a new dimension to Ryan Adams' sound. They are really cohesive, at times reminiscent of the Allman Brothers (although a lot of this was the guitar harmonies on "Cold Roses"). But they are a rock solid foundation for the tunes, while at the same time allowing room for improvisation. This is where seeing Ryan Adams live is different from the records. When he extends tunes past their logical conclusions on the albums, it is obnoxious and takes away from otherwise solid songwriting. Live, it works extremely well. Also, the show kind of plays like the Ryan Adams album you wish he would make...no duds or too long moments. Everything worked, everything sounded great.

Some highlights included:
-An extended version of "I See Monsters" from Love is Hell. It recalled "Champagne Supernova" at the end...heavy riffage moving around the bass note. Really good.

-"Cold Roses". Band sounded fantastic. Guitar harmonies were impeccable.

-"Easy Plateau". This was the set closer, and it turned into a big psychedelic excursion.

I was really lazy about the setlist, so if you care you can probably find it online. I cannot stress enough how great the band sounded. Really tight, impeccable vocal harmonies, good musicianship on the jams. The Cardinals kind of rein in Ryan Adams, while at the same time exploring the songs. This is a good thing. Ryan Adams is extremely talented, and a fucking great songwriter, but he is his own worst enemy musically. The Cardinals keep him in check almost.

Also, I know Ryan Adams has the reputation for being a prick, and it is probably deserved, but he was very likable last night, talking about things in between songs. There was a whole aside about Slash coming onstage to solo and another story about trying to get with this girl by purchasing a White Lion record...all of this was funny and likable. Although he was probably just fucked up.

Anyway, great band, great songs. Countryfied vibe, but kind of psychedelic too. Think Flying Burrito Brothers in that sense. But they could also rock out. Really tight musicianship. Allman Brothers meets Flying Burrito Bros meets Oasis meets The Cure. Vibewise. I dug it.

Show gets a B. I wanted to hear more tunes and less talking, as humorous as the talking was. But the songs themselves were great.

[bballarl]

Saw Autolux/HEALTH tonight. HEALTH were obnoxious until they hit these grooves, where they had polyrhythms going with bursts of noise. When these happened I could feel it, but otherwise they sounded like a bunch of lame art kids playing noise with a brittle guitar tone that really bothers me. I would see them again, and I will check out their record.

Autolux were really fucking loud and thick and heavy. Like My Bloody Valentine, but not as pretty or lush. But that type of thickness and drone. I was really feeling it (literally and metaphorically). They sounded great. The chick playing drums is awesome. The other guys just kind of did their thing. Do not miss them at Coachella. Fantastic.

[bballarl]

Also, Alan McGee stood next to me/Gabe for part of the show. I failed to approach him.

[Cdubby]

I went to see Autolux last night at the independent in san francisco, got to the venue, drove around for 30 minutes looking for parking and then drove back home :nono

haha, i think ill stay away from that venue, i like to go places with ample parking.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I just noticed The Presets are playing 5/20/08 at the El Rey...

Is just me or does it strike you as odd that Gregorian Masters of Chant are playing at the El Rey???!!???

The only reason I found the presets was because I was trying to find the on sale for the April 12th Meat Beat Manifesto show at the El Rey...

[Ardentbiscuit]

How do nobody on the Coachella board tell me about this before??!!?? Truly epic..

I guess they are doing again in 2008 and already Vixen and Krokus are confirmed..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocklahoma

[Memorial_07]

Anyone going to the Mars Volta show in L.A.?
And so far my only upcoming shows are Meshuggah and Ministry at the House of Blues sunset strip.
And Coachella.

[shakermaker113]

oh god, yeah the independent is horrible for parking. it's sometimes taken me 40 minutes to park around there. now I can walk or hop on the bus, so it doesn't matter so much.

Anyone going to Vampire Weekend?

[boarderwoozel3]

look at the post above you

[paulb]

When did The Prodigy confirm for V fest in England?

[bmack86]

Vampire Weekend at the El Rey is apparently sold out, so it looks like I'm not gonna go to it unless we get free tickets from the radio station.

[idrive1life]

I should change it to strongly rumored/apparently.

[paulb]

http://festivals.drownedinsound.com/articles/2828964

ok, thanks. I may try to hit up Rock Im Park this year to catch The Prodigy...

[bmack86]

Yeha, I'm gonna go to that as well. Catch Vampire Weekend and then hop on over to Hot Chip. Sounds like a helluva night.

[idrive1life]

Vampire Weekend and The Walkmen are playing on the night I'll be watching R.E.M. at Langerado. Unfortunately, I'm not planning to go to the day they are playing @ Langerado (3/7 - don't really want to camp or drive back and forth that much). Barring any major conflict, I'll probably just watch 'em at Coachella.

[bmack86]

I recommend for everyone to see Vampire Weekend before they blow up completely. They're really good live, but they'll sound best in a smaller venue.

[frozen pilgrim]

if anyone's still got the chance to see dj shadow and cut chemist do the hard sell...
holy fucking mother of gods of turntablism...
and kid koala's opening on the current leg.
it really truly has to be seen to be believed.

[idrive1life]

Yeah, the venue which Vampire Weekend and The Walkmen are playing is really tiny. *Their spit better smell good heh heh*

[wmgaretjax]

Yeasayer was much better than MGMT. Yeasayer was awesome, and I left half way through MGMT's set because I was bored.

Super Furry Animals were great last night. Holy Fuck were amazing as well, I wish their set would've been longer. But the best of the night were the Fiery Furnaces, they totally stole the show. Eleanor has such an amazing voice.

[luckyface]

This Will Destroy You is now on the Tulsa/What Made Milwaukee Famous bill on February 28 at the Silverlake Lounge!

If nothing huge will be added, I hope Super Furry Animals and Fiery Furnaces make it at this year's Coachella.

[Ardentbiscuit]

So British Sea Power and Stellastarr" are playing the same night in LA..

British Sea Power.

got my ticket to see them in san diego at the casbah on march 19th, well worth the extra 20 minutes of driving each way to avoid seeing them in helL.A. i think casbah only holds a couple hundred, too. that show is apparently sold out now, as well. i may also cruise up to the l.a. show the night after sd if the show wows me enough...

You're making me wish I hadn't missed them (supporting Of Montreal last fall), I had never heard of them at the time and was ambivalent about checking them out, so I let myself be delayed at work instead...

[bmack86]

They're playing the Bowl.

Alright!! somebody who knows to take a smaller venue into consideration! And the Greek show is on a Saturday, which makes it much better.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

If the Pats get ahead of the Giants, I might try to make the Entrance show at McCabe's Guitar Shop.

Also I'm pretty sure I'm seeing R.E.M. in San Francisco, depending on what my friends think of doing that instead of the Bowl.

[bballarl]

I want to go to that Entrance show but I really don't want to go out. Fuuuuuck. Also, parking is going to suck.

[bmack86]

Yeah, I'm not gonna make it out there for that. I have so much work to do.

[bballarl]

I just don't have the energy. But all their shows coming up are 21+. Hmm.

[bmack86]

What about the show at the Knitting Factory? Or did that already happen?

[bballarl]

That was Thursday. I went to Ryan Adams instead, per your suggestion.

MBM is must see at all costs.
It will be an audio visual feast.
On their last tour they had Ben Stokes on video mixer. They had accompanying original video for every single sample in all of the MBM tunes.
This will be one of the best shows you will ever see.

Id research this guys music, but cant go to youtube, myspace websites at the moment

Non stop dancing.
Hopefully we will be lucky enough to get the 2+ hour show like they did at the House of Blues a couple of years ago. I had brought a friend who knew nothing of MBM, and God O.D. became his favorite song that nite.

I went and saw Yeasayer and MGMT last night. Both bands put on a really good show. Yeasayer only played like 5 songs, and two of them were new and were semi-long. MGMT has improved since the last time I saw them. It was one of the guys birthday and the whole crowd (there was only like 50 people there) sang happy birthday to him and then they proceeded to cover "Good Times Bad Times" after which they all yelled "SNOWBALL FIGHT" and they ran off stage, everyone followed, and there was a giant snowball fight between the band and the crowd. Everyone came back in and they played on more song and dragged it out like 10 minutes reading excerpts from some book. I don't have any pics of Yeasayer because I was sort of in the back during their set and the stage is not that high. I do however have a few pics of MGMT (post snowball fight) that I will post when I get home. All in all it was a fun show.

[ShyGuy75]

We need to start a Depressed About Hot Chip support group.

I think I may go drink my sorrows away at Metal Skool.

[suprefan]

Vampire Weekend @ Amoeba tonight. Glad I didnt get Hot Chip tickets. And So strange everything they are doing tomorrow is still on even with the ''illness''. I might do that after party thing but its still just them dj ing which would be eh. But still fun I imagine.

[arbouler]

supposedly hot chip guys are at amoeba right now for vampire weekend. my friend told me.

[Ardentbiscuit]

So, are they mentally ill like Meg from the White Stripes? Is that the illness that they are talking about?? According to other people they are doing all the other events scheduled...

Hmm, so White Stripes played Bonnaroo, so did Lily Allen and so did Hot Chip...

Bad things happening to all of them..

Is there a Bonnaroo curse now?

[tessalasset]

No they just hate El Rey I think.

[iv3rdawG]

Vampire Weekend was cool. Fuck I wish they would have played "Walcott" though. Some girl even yelled it out.

[Crackerfromcrenshaw]

Anyone In LA area psyched for Modest Mouse + REM + National at the fucking bowl... im stoked

[suprefan]

supposedly hot chip guys are at amoeba right now for vampire weekend. my friend told me.

They were, I was going to go up to them and say ''hey why are you not freaking playing tonight??"' but then the show started and they walked off to another spot. So lame..


Vampire Weekend was aiiight, nothing too special, good vocals, decent energy during the latter half of the set. I dont know what they will do with a full set at The El Rey though, cause it might get pretty repetitive. I can live without seeing them at Coachella, but I am sure a zillion peopel will fill up Mojave to catch em.

[bmack86]

The Hot Chip guys were there, and they said that one of them was really, really sick. Nick, I think? They were nice guys. Stood by me and my friend for a little while before the show started. Vampire Weekend were good, again. They played Boston, again.

[Somewhat Damaged]

bmack, did you get that information by asking, "hey why are you not freaking playing tonight??" or were you not a jerk about it?

[JustSteve]

going to try and get in to see the foo fighters at the grammy's this sunday.

[bmack86]

bmack, did you get that information by asking, "hey why are you not freaking playing tonight??" or were you not a jerk about it?

I got it by saying, hey, I was really looking forward to seeing you guys tonight. I heard someone got sick. Is that true?

That was a good way to go about it.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Vampire Weekend were pretty decent. None of my friends were into it which made it hard to get really excited, but the music is good. I enjoyed the show in a low-key way. Also, I got to meet bmack again, that was cool. Even if I didn't say much.

[bmack86]

Yeah, sorry, I had to get to my car because the price was about to raise from 3 bucks to 4.50, and I wanted dinner.

[suprefan]

Even with validation you got screwed that much on parking? I missed getting it for free by 5 minutes, I was kind of pissed. But $1.50 for Vampire Weekend isnt terrible.


going to try and get in to see the foo fighters at the grammy's this sunday.


I have a feeling even with me sending my info out with that email that everyone got, you still ''luckily'' end up in that audience. Gee, wonder how that would happen.

[bmack86]

Well, I was there for two hours. It was 3 bucks with validation.

[suprefan]

Aah, alright. Man it was packed though tonight. I was walking out and the line to get into the store just to shop was a ways down the block.

[bmack86]

Yeah, who knew Vampire Weekend were so popular.

[ficklecycle]

So my show schedule for the year so far:

Feb 1 Kid Sister/A Trak @ Natural History Museum
Feb 19 Iron Maiden @ The Forum
Feb 29 MSTRKRFT @ The Fonda
March 7 YACHT @ Natural History Museum
March 31 Justice @ The Mayan
Apr 1 Digitalism @ El Rey
Apr 25-27 Coachella 08
May 20 The Presets @ El Rey

[suprefan]

Iron Maiden!! Rawwwr!!


Yeah, who knew Vampire Weekend were so popular.


I just went to see what the fuss was about thats all. the album is decent, so I wanted to see how it was live. Its better to get some things out of the way so you dont waste your time at Coachella ya know?

[TheScaryOne]

anyone seeing the walkmen at the orange county performing arts center in a couple weeks? february 28th i believe, not sure, its a thursday. never been to a concert there before but peter bjorn and jon played there two weeks ago and cold war kids are playing there in march. pretty impressive.

love the walkmen but never seen them live. seems like they should be good band live especially if they play The Rat or Little House of Savages.

Maybe he is following Radiohead's lead?

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Yeah, sorry, I had to get to my car because the price was about to raise from 3 bucks to 4.50, and I wanted dinner.

It's cool, we were leaving too.

Yeah, who knew Vampire Weekend were so popular.

I kind of expected this, their album is number three on itunes (or was) after all. I was surprised at the number of little kids I saw though.

[bmack86]

Fuck New Mexico. Why the fuck he would he play there and not Arizona, Colorado, or Utah?

It's Malkmus. He makes his own rules.

[chrissandstrom]

do we know if the hot chip show is still on for this evening?

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

I dont know what they will do with a full set at The El Rey though, cause it might get pretty repetitive.

Not only that but their album is just 34 minutes long, plus a few stray B-sides. I would imagine they'll have to have a good amount of new material to fill out a headlining set. I would almost say 30 minutes at Amoeba is the perfect way to see them right now (or supporting the Shins). I should also mention that right next to me the weirdest, saddest thing was playing out, as these two dudes who looked about 17 tried to talk up a married woman who was about 25 (and very beautiful). They were so desperate. And this woman must have been incredibly naive not to be creeped out or think her husband (apparently elsewhere in the store later--why didn't she go join him?) would give a fuck about her conversation with some horny boys. *shrug*

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Really? Nice.

[bballarl]

Matt, Entrance were good on Sunday. See them when you can.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Yeah I actually drove over there but I got there after 8 and I couldn't fucking find any parking places anywhere. Even if I could have I am terrible at parallel parking. So basically I drove across town and failed hardcore. But yeah, I'll try to check them out the next time they play around these parts.

PS: I should note that I saw this guy at Vampire Weekend that looked like he might have been one of the guys from The Mars Volta (one of the two main guys), but I hate that band, so I didn't bother to find out if it was him.

[brando4n82]

just bought my ticket for Meat Beat Menifeto at the El Rey. Anyone else going?

[bleep]

love the walkmen but never seen them live. seems like they should be good band live especially if they play The Rat or Little House of Savages.
if you're a casual fan who's hoping to hear "The Rat" or "We've Been Had," you're probably out of luck. The purpose of this current tour is to debut new material and that is what the set will be comprised heavily of. With that said, the new songs are ace and the band is tight live!

From recent experiences, the setlist will probably comprise of 7+/- new songs and these tracks for sure: "Thinking of a Dream I Had" "138th St" "No Christmas While I'm Talking" "All Hands And The Cook" "Wake Up"

The following songs are not permanent fixtures but have appeared on recent setlists: "Good For You's Good For Me" "Little House of Savages" "What's In It For Me" "Louisiana" "What Happened to You?" "Another One Goes By" "Bows + Arrows"

Hope this helps in your decision making!:)

[suprefan]

do we know if the hot chip show is still on for this evening?

No, its not.

[bmack86]

The Walkmen are so good live. I'm not a big fan of their music in general, but their live show does it for me.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Just got back from Holy Fuck/Super Furry Animals. Holy Fuck were pretty damn amazing. Lots of people around me were moving but there were some songs that I thought, "Man, the place should be going NUTS right about now." But it wasn't. Eh, they'll be lots of fun at Coachella. I even bought their CD.
SFA, meanwhile, were also good, especially the 1st and 4th songs, the names of which I don't know since this was my first time hearing anything by them. I started getting bored and sleepy, though, so I took off half an hour into their set. I hate how my attention span just plummets when I don't recognize any of the songs being played, although if the songs were completely awesome (as was the case during some of Holy Fuck's set), I wouldn't care that I was listening to them for the first time. Thus, SFA is equally guilty for me leaving their set early.

EDIT: Just realized that after a year on this board, I'm finally "old school."

[Sushov23]

Last time they played the El Rey it was excellent. And, She Wants Revenge opened, so that was appropriately ridiculous.

I will be home at that point, so I will probably have to see them at Slim's. But they own face.

I swear I saw a date of theirs on the fillmore's website at one point. it's gone now though. maybe I was tripping.

[Boourns]

Jarvis Cocker playing Mexico in March:
March 6: Uma Bar - Monterrey
March 8: MX Beat Soundfest 2008 - Toluca

American dates to be added? Hope so, but doubt it...

[suprefan]

He will play one show in L.A. and nowhere else, that would be great,

[traviscanada]

Calgary does not get the greatest shows, I think the only one on the horizon is Holy Fuck Feb.23

[luckyface]

Mr. Scruff at the El Rey! March 22. That could be a good one.

[tessalasset]

seriously what the fuck.

[mistdevil]

ladytron woot!!! with datarock what a plus+

[luckyface]

seriously what the fuck.

What the fuck what now?

[woogie846]

I got my tickets for the Aquabats at the Canyon Club today! Hoorah! That is going to be one hell of a show.

[rage patton]

Dang, Breeders the same night as REM....

Easy solution man... go to Sasquatch!

[rage patton]

The Avett Brother are comming to Vancouver!!!! I am seriously so excited!

Avett Brothers
Plaza Nightclub , Vancouver, BC
Sun, Apr 13, 2008 08:00 PM

I don't know about any other dates... but right now I don't even care. I am extremely excited right now. :)

[suprefan]

Easy solution man... go to Sasquatch!

What if they conflict there also? Oh!

[chiapet]

I swear I saw a date of theirs on the fillmore's website at one point. it's gone now though. maybe I was tripping.

It's May 27th, I think, but the listing is gone. They only have shows through early May posted right now.

[rage patton]

What if they conflict there also? Oh!

No one conflicts with the headliners at Sasqutch. And for the most part, there is only a partial conflict with the main sub-headliner band at Sasquatch.
Therefor, REM and the Breeder will not conflict. This makes things a lot easier for me. I have this feeling The Breeders and Battles will be conflicting at Coachella this year...

[suprefan]

Probably not. Breeders will be playing at night on Outdoor I imagine. I think Battles will go late afternoon possible post sunset slot. I see how you are looking at it based on line position, but The Breeders are more suited to play on that stage at a later timeslot. Battles, not so much.

[rage patton]

I could see a Battles night set in the Mojave. Either that or a late afternoon set at the outdoor theatre. In my dreams, Battles will play the gobi at 4pm. But thats in my dreams...

[suprefan]

they could close Gobi and that would be cool then there are no conflicts against the Breeders cause somebody else will close Outdoor. And a nice solution to not seeing JJ.

[rage patton]

But that would mean Battles vs. Fatboy Slim

And that would suck.

[suprefan]

Maybe but you never know. Back on topic

[Sushov23]

Tickets are steep as fuck for the jay-Z tickets. 39-349

[full on idle]

Holy Fuck and Super Furry Animals on Saturday if I didn't wait too long to buy a ticket. Then maybe some FUTURE FUNK SQUAD at Mighty.

[ThomThom]

I was expecting worse.

[MarkO]

Wait. Did I see $349 as a ticket price ? wth.

[ficklecycle]

Pitchfork barely reported on the MSTRKRFT tour.

[wmgaretjax]

get yo ticket now! Gonna be too fun to pass up.

[ThomThom]

Wait. Did I see $349 as a ticket price ? wth.

Yep, that should be the price for the Garden Boxes I believe, Jay- Z's ticket prices have always been pretty fucking ridiculous.

[suprefan]

Oh man, Jay Z @ the Bowl, should be fun.

[ThomThom]

I'm just hoping Blige goes on before Jay-Z, not after.

[full on idle]

get yo ticket now! Gonna be too fun to pass up.

Well there aren't any more regularly priced ones left for sale now, just those stupid GAMH dinner seats which I'm not buying. I contacted one person on craigslist who's selling for face and if that doesn't pan out I'll probably walk over there on Saturday when the box office opens and see if it's sold out.

[brando4n82]

Also, any word is Soulwax is bringing their Remixes set to the U.S.?

are you referring to Nite Versions or the collections of remixes they recently released? They already did an Extremely small US tour for Nite Versions (ARRRGGHHHH!!!! i missed them at Coachella) and i dont see why they would come to the US to tour for the remix album, but reguardless they need to fucking tour in the US whether it be soulwax or 2manydjs, i want to see both SOOOOOOO fucking bad it hurts

[sonofhal]

Is Music Box @ Fonda any good as a venue? I see Colin Meloy is playing there the Monday after Coachella.

[tessalasset]

Maybe but you never know. Back on topic

[suprefan]

Good point, I didnt realize that, next time. They are playign the Grove of anaheim also, but thats totally not worth it.

do you have a link? i don't see it listed on ticketmaster.

Also, any word is Soulwax is bringing their Remixes set to the U.S.?

I wish... when I heard they were doing shows where they actually perform some of the remixes I almost crapped myself. it sounds like they intend the shows to be extremely limited though, so I don't know if they they make it to this continent.

Well there aren't any more regularly priced ones left for sale now, just those stupid GAMH dinner seats which I'm not buying. I contacted one person on craigslist who's selling for face and if that doesn't pan out I'll probably walk over there on Saturday when the box office opens and see if it's sold out.

I might end up with two extra. (face, of course -- no service charges either since I bought at the box office). might be a good idea to pm me...

Yeah, it's pretty cool. Easy to get up front, too. Last time I was there the bars didnt have redbull, so this girl just fell asleep and missed almost all of css.
