Walkmen 5/20

i go to whitman.
not exactly sure what was implyed with that u2 remark, please clarify…?

and if you were saying what i think you were saying; i already have tickets. wouldn't miss it for the world :)


i also just realized that my thick, thick, unfortunate sarcasm probably makes everything i say on a message board sound like i am laying it on worse than i am. sarcastic people + internet consisting of people that are unaware of said sarcasm=not a good combination

I know…ain't it the truth!

i prefer the term sarcastically challenged

damn it i wanted to go to the u2 concert so bad - i woke up and like 40 minutes after they went on sale, ran to the computer but they were all gone.

i am sorry. that stinks.
i saw them in anaheim in april, too, the third show of the vertigo tour. woo hoo. they are playing fantastically.

it's ridiculous this time around, though. scalpers ALL got these secret codes and bought up all the tickets somehow to fuck us over. even in the ultra exclusive u2 fan club presale, we were offered kind of shitty seats.


does anybody know who is opening for the DC show? in california it was kings of leon (i was also "that guy" that came in the kings of leon shirt…hee :) )
KOL again would be fantasmic; but i don't think it's happening.

I'd hate to change the subject again, but here goes: What are your opinions on outdoor concerts? I'm wondering because my school (Walkmen school) is thinking of having its battle of the bands outdoors next year, now that we have some nice new speakers as a bonus from the Walkmen concert.

Also, was there anyone from outside the school who actually enjoyed the Walkmen concert? I'm just trying to find some relatively positive feedback, and am wondering if any exists.

If the weather is nice, I enjoy them immensely. Open air produces superior sound quality then even the best designed venues.

hey, i enjoyed the show! i really did.
i love the walkmen, and despite…em…other…disturbances, i'll call them, they still played an amazing set and i loved hearing them. after petty annoyances are gone, it all boils down to the music–what i was there to hear. and on that level, well, they kicked ass.

there's your positive feedback.


as far as outdoor concerts, ditto that.
they are great when it's nice outside, but a bit of a risk to take. when planning events months in advance, you have no idea whether it's going to rain or hail or god knows what. i've had outdoor shows before where we got there, saw an opening band, and then it started pouring and thundering and they had to close down the rest of the event. it made me super-sad too.

my suggestion would be that if you plan it outdoors, you have a room open somewhere near where stuff could be moved the day of in case of a "weather emergency"


good luck with that
