be prepared to be quiet.

they make the audience be absolutely silent. they take is as far as saying if the bartenders mus mix martiinis, then they should do it in rhythm of the song.

wow. this will be a first at Iota. Hope the crowd doesn't burst.

I wish Iron and Wine had this policy. The Iota show was ruined for me by chatty kattys.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with Pancake Mountain? If not, they are both missing out on a great opportunity.

Speaking of Pancake Mountain - The Arcade Fire recorded some stuff for them when they were in town.

how early did one need to have arrived in order to make it in to the sold-out show?

At the minimum, 7:30. Maybe earlier. I got there at 8:30 and we only got into the dining room. I could barely hear the music so I left.

it was sold out by around 7:30-45.

the show itself was very, very good. i like how they keep that same just-above-a-whisper volume from their records when performing live. crowd was very well-behaved too (upfront at least).

a couple of friends of mine got there too late and tried listening from the restaurant side. when i met up with them afterwards, they all thought the band wasn't using mics and (literally) playing acoustically.
