boston is so not that cold! i grew up there, well, near cape cod. january is a bit nippy but other than that, the weather is great. snow, a real autumn, a summer you can actually enjoy. and the OCEAN! but i grew up on the beach so i was lucky.
and boston isn't anymore or less expensive than dc. at least boston doesn't have tax on groceries and clothes, and the restaurant tax is only 5%
but like any city, its has its positives and negatives.
i'm proud to be a masshole though! woo hoo! long live the massholes from the massoftwoshits!

but yes, my $1900 a month for a 2 BR apt was too much.
and i dont mind when the wind chill is 15 below….call me crazy :)

back to mogwai topic at hand. how's the ticket situation looking? if i get there at 9 am i sol? and how different are their shows from the albums. they seem to make some big departures in styles on the cds they have released so i'm not sure what to expect. some times its more lush sounding, sometimes not, and that whole thing that the concerts are outrageously loud. ie, i'm not sure what to expect in terms of genre presented tonight. anyone help?

I'm going because of the great show they put on at the Ottobar last year. And it was indeed LOUD LOUD LOUD. I had earplugs in and I still had loss of hearing for a few days afterwards.

I did not think the show was too loud and could pick out my favorite songs with ease, enjoyed the show.

I only had my earplugs in for 3 minutes total probably, if I had not for those 3 minutes I would probably be ringing badly, but 95% of the show was an ok volume.

Well that is a turn up. Perhaps they have finally learned that a constant noise barrage does not make a great show.

Ha, did you mean that in a good way? It was plenty loud for me. :p For my first time seeing them I was pretty impressed by the sound they put out. Is anyone here the guy with the tripod?

I don't see any Bostonians calling themselves "Bostie"
