And you questioned The National's ability to sell amphitheaters . . . ;)
Not that they're related…. at all… but I'm sure The National could sell out a 3k person venue, not a 20k person (which was in reference to their booking at MPP).

I honestly don't think I've heard any of their other albums.
I agree with what James said here but wtf was he thinking with that use of "it's"? Was English his second language or something?
That guy's opinion means nothing.

it is crazy that they are selling out shows in other citys and headlining festivals…but look like they can barely sell 500 seats in Baltimore

First three rows completely open and for sale on TM right now… wowser.
if i were still local, i would consider grabbing tickets to this just to say that i saw Ween during their death knell. but then i'd have to sit through 90+ minutes of Ween, so nevermind…

wait sweetcell moved?
anyways, the less people the better.. I'm really looking forward to this now that I know I won't have to battle 3000 newbie bro-Ween fans..
pier 6 has always treated me right!
I think this should have been a natural DC show…in DC they would have done allright..Baltimore is kind of a dump riot ridden city without too many people..I do enjoy the less pretentious vibe up there but all the shows there seem to never draw well.. just last year I went to see all kinds of acts for free at Ramshead Live cause they just can't fill the place no matter what so they wallpaper it..

yup, i'm now about 40 minutes east of seattle. i've been dropping subtle hints for the last 2 months or so… probably easy to miss tho.
weather has been pretty damn nice here, all told. we moved at the right time: the start of the non-rainy season. the mountains are beautiful here.

sidehatch, tried to send you a PM but it's broken due to your fancy screen name.
Hit up hutch if you want to get toasty pre show Sunday.

we had bought the house here before the election so at the time, we were kinda sad that we would be leaving DC during the first female presidency. how things change…

ha! i live 15 minutes away from a single-main-street town where "downtown" is about 5 blocks long. issaquah = civilization. when we need home depot, costco, trader joe's or legal weed, it's our our closest source.

So…what happened? Was Herman Otto killed in a random act of urban violence?

never saw the bow-tied one
did hang with Hutch and Yada just a few rows from the front
solid set…and hutch snagged me Claude's drum stick, so that was a nice souvenir
I'm so glad that Gabriel made it to the setlist
wasn't really a bad thing, but only a single song encore.
back in the day, their encores were just so much fun and almost as long as some bands full sets
crowd up front was really into it and the security didn't care if you had a lawn seat, you could go where you wanted (as we know they barely sold any of the 300s section)

yeah… this band just gets better and better and the four shows I've seen since the break up have been all damn near perfection, last night was no different. I do worry a bit about Gener's health or lack there of, he's quite portly and looks a few big macs/shakes shy of a heart attack.
Great catchin' up with you fellow boardies. My head hurts today. I forgot my "good" ear plugs but picked up a pair at CVS right before walking into the show, they definitely saved me.
