Anyone going to see them at the Blackcat tonight?
Frames and Calexico
I certainly want to, but thanks to Justin I didnt get home from work till 3 AM. And the day job starts at 9.
So between being tired and part of me wanting to watch the cubs/marlins I may not make it.
But who knows, Calexico is defintely worth rallying for..

should be a good show, but the cubs game is on tonight. . .
*raises hand*
it'll be interesting to see the new drummer for the frames since dave hinerty left a few months ago to spend more time with his family.

doors are 8.30, so I would guess at 9.15 or 9.30. I will be going upstairs at 9 though as I dont want to miss the frames. When they played with the new pornographers they hung around before and after the show, if shmoozing the band is your thing.
Are you going by yourself? (Are you ready to say hello to some internet forum weidos?)

There are only two bands tonight. Normally that means a longer wait till the first starts, doesn't it?
all the guys in the frames are super nice and friendly. buy them a beer and buy their cds! if they have the cd "set list" or "breadcrumb trail", buy it, their version from australia of mic christopher's "hey day" is fantastic. i'll be in jeans a tshirt that says "enjoy your stay at the wild lily hotel" (hehehehe) so stop by and say hi if i haven't met you before. we're a friendly group.

9:00 is just a safe guess.
sure why not, I'll be shooting to get there around 9ish as well

Oh OK….. well what will you wear? I have on a pale plue long sleeve T-shirt. On the front it says "black cat's on tour". Its hard to read as the letters are only outlined by ratty stitching.
Looks home made, but isnt.
And I will be with my missus….. Who has silver oakley prescription glasses.

wouldn't it be easier if you just mentioned that you'd be the guy heckling the bands rather than describing your attire? :D

oh the stress - I haven't decided what to wear tonight but I will definitely keep an eye out for you
oh dear, well you better get back with the program. what are you going to do if you're not in fine heckling form when badly drawn boy comes back next month?

good gig last night
The Frames were very good and I thought that the stuff from For the Birds came across with a lot more intensity live than on CD
Pariah - I hope that wasn't you heckling at the start was it?
Calexico were good - I don't know their stuff as well as I should but it was good - I left after Crystal Frontier coz I was wrecked so I can;t speak to the encore
sorry I didn't get to meet anyone - its harder than I thought trying to spot people there so in the end I just mooched around the place feeling sorry for myself

Originally posted by brennser:Oh god no. I normally shut up if the band get annoyed. I was surprised at how badly the band took the heckling though. I was standing right next to them right at the front though. The funny thing was, a couple of times the annoying hecklers shouted a request a gut next to me said

"Play whatever you want". I liked that.
I was too tired to get the most out of Calexico. It sounded great live though. But it would have been better if I could have concentrated longer. It was one of the frames Birthdays , so they sang him some stupid dutch happy birthday song…. Then did the first song on the love, forever changes album with both bands on stage…
It made my night.
shit - I knew if I left early I'd miss something good
yeah, Glen did seem a bit touchy about the heckler, almost as if he'd done it before at gigs here
