Ted Leo Roll Call

Unless Ted Leo is REALLY big with the kids and I just don't know about it, I don't think this will sell out…. But I've been wrong before (usually, however, thinking something will sell out that doesn't, 'cuz I tend to give people more credit for appreciating good music!).
someone here told me it would sell out, so i bought tickets. i'll be there, have a friend from home coming down for the rockin'.
Well he was in the WOXY top 20 played albums of the year, a clear indication that he's big with the kids.

For real, I'm pretty excited about seeing you two. It's been quite a while…in fact, I can't even remember the last time.

I figured it would be pretty scarey if I fawned over you too. Plus Jadetree would get jealous.

Are you going to bring your little Martian friend as well?
I still think it might sell out. when he played the backbar it filled up very very quickly and there appeared to be a lot of dissappointed people.

But he seems to have gained a lot of momentum in hipster circles since then. Plus its a Saturday night and there has not been a great show for a couple of weeks imho.

oooh, post how the koz show is. if there was any show that i would be going to on saturday night it would be that one. i've been playing the sun kil moon cd non-stop while i'm at work.
same here, i have been listening to that disc since i got it. the kozelek show starts at 7pm and the ottobar has another show later that night, so i should be back in time for ted leo at the black cat. i haven't done a double header in awhile.

i'll let you know how the show goes.

I'm sure y'all are right; I should shut up. I almost always get tickets in advance, so I rarely think about it much.
Anybody have a fear that both Shins shows will sell out within 24 hours, or do ya think we'll be ok getting them the second night they're on sale?

I bet they were all just disappointed because NKOTB wasn't there.

I don't think it will sell out in 24 hours, that is pretty rare for the Black Cat, and while they sold out fast in New York, that happens alot, as discussed here before
Crap, can that be?!? I'll never get my posse focused on that so soon. Maybe I'll just buy four or six tix..

When do tix go on sale?

What night are forum folks going? (I was thinking Wed show for sure…)

Well I aint telling when tix go on sale…people might jump on the case quickly. I will say that it's soon. Probably being paranoid. The Subpop showcase (featuring the Shins) in NYC took a week to sell out, and that waas only 200 tickets they were selling to the general public.

Probably will take more than a day or two to sell out, but I wouldn't wait too long on this one.

I can see how it would be a challenge to corral 51 gay men…
So you see my difficulty….I have to be sure there aren't any circuit parties going on somewhere that week….

Celeste had to run an ad in the paper just to corral one gay guy.

I will be there, making my annual appearance in DC for one night only. Can't wait to see you, Lulu.
no, i can't wait to see you………….precious
I'll be at the show. Ted Leo gave a good performance at Coney Island, so it should be fun. And it might just sell out. I think Ted has a strong following in DC.

And a reminder that it's celebration night for Markie!
