modest mouse

well, it looks like there are seats.. that means for me I am not going either.. besides that I just got into Modest Mouse so I need to listen to the older records first until I am going to see them. looks like I am going to wait, too..
playing devil advocate… and the alternatives to DAR are? besides the various Gyms/Arenas in the area, the odd show at the Warner… how big is the new Strathmore venue and how will rock shows sound there. DAR gets used in part because its calendar farther in advance than Patriot Center. Merriweather could be used as alternative for only pavallion shows.

What does this sentence mean? :eek:
i'm to tired to proof read…

rewrite.

promoters can book shows at DAR farther in advance because it doesn't block its schedule awaiting the annoucement of sporting event schedules like the Patriot center does for the teams that play there.

better?
Oui, merci.

So

The Music Center at Strathmore - capacity 1976
Constitution Hall - Capactiy 3700

That equals 1700 people moaning about not being able to get tickets to see <insert flavor of month to big for 9:30 and to small for Patriot Center>
Too big

Too small

C'mon Kosmo, you're a high school graduate, aren't you? :p

Instead of a large venue in Philly, Modest Mouse are playing 2 nights at Electric Factory. Would that have been a possiblity at 9:30?
probably not as it appears to be a clear channel promoted tour
Did not realize that. Damn Clear Channel :mad:
well, the only thing i've been to at DAR thus far has been a high school graduation…so…

i'm hoping it's not too bad. modest mouse should play a great set regardless, right?!

I'd rather go to Nation than DAR. At least it's meant to have concerts
that's right; until you get shot out on the street corner. . .
what about bender? seems to comparable in size, has seats if folks want to sit down, a big area for general admission. i haven't been to a show there in ages, so i don't know about the sound, but it can't be much worse than DAR, right?

No, it's meant to be a dance club. Man, 60% of that place has shitty, shitty sight lines.
well Nation isn't a consideration as it not the size of DAR… and Bender can't any better than for rock shows acoustic wise… so does Consitution Hall have a lousy reputation for Classical Music or is it just rock shows it has a bad rep for…

you may complain about dar up there (and i hate the venue) but we don't have any venues down here (richmond) that is around the size of the 930 club anymore.
well, the show was great.
event staff = a little anal, but otherwise, they played great. camper was great, too.

i just…i really don't like sit down concerts, i can't get into the music as much. i stood up a little but sat down because i didn't want to be "that guy." then i couldn't see because the dude in front of me stood up, sat on my friends lap the whole time, and then eventually we just got up regardless for the encore.

it was good, though!
