thank you for this . . . i like harrisonburg, va.  for my area, it is a nice town/city/trying to be big/but still heavily influenced by mennonite rural awesomeness and mountain visual beauty.  and a half way ok ski resort.  i sure hope that hutch was not referring to this with his complaint.  and never complain about anything involving bjork.


My partner and I may make a trip down for this… I'm a little concerned about the amount of white hats that will be attending this though.

Those two announcements back to back might be the funniest I've ever seen.

That looks very cool. Too bad it's 2 hours 15 minutes from my house.

Not too surprised, considering it's a seated show, which means much lower capacity…

Not instantly. First I got Joy Formidable tickets, then I got Sleigh Bells tickets, THEN I got Portlandia, so it was at least 10 minutes in to the sale.
