nkotbie, I was in row D, seat 102, right in front of you. I was with the blonde girl, singing along to every word and flipping out during stuff like "Caribou". :) How funny! Boy, what a great time I had.

hehe, apparently it was your right arm (aisle seat?) i saw flailing around the entire set.

nice.

Well I must say, for not knowing much about The Pixie's until a few months ago I was very satisfied with the show. I was kinda bored the first twenty minutes but as the concert kept going, the better it got. Definetely worth going to in my opinion. I enjoyed watching some of the people dancing also, Like the guy in the balcony, left side facing the stage. I don't know what the heck he was doing, but fun to watch. I was in section A and have to say for "might be obstructed" seats, I'll take those anyday. I was like I was almost right over Kim. Also, Is their any uglier looking band out there?

I even saw Markie jammin' over there once in awhile in or near section D. :D

heh… it was kind of frustrating to know that there were probably 930 peeps all around me, but not recognize any of you. I'll have to come to the board party so that that won't happen again.

that V-neck-and-collared shirt look Kim was sporting is how my girlfriend used to dress in high school… just proof that she's a girl as cool as Kim Deal!

ps - I can't believe that none of you called me out on my effort to pass myself off as obscure movie star Robbie Benson a few posts back. :p

not that i think the pixies are the type of band to do something like this…

but "mr. grieves" wasn't played last night.

and TVOTR is there tonight.

hmm…

yes that was indeed a great night………with the added bonus of losing 20lbs in sweat.

again many thanks to seth and the 9.30 for the presale tixs.

doom i thought you were sitting in front of me and markie but couldn't be sure……..i'm very glad i resisted asking him if he was doom now……………..loooooon alert, loooooon alert……..

Hmmm, I don't think I saw you, where were you?

You really can't ask people stuff like "Are you Doctor Doom" without making them wonder about you :D

Who was that behind Markie totally jamming away non stop thru pretty much the whole show. I also saw him from section A.

Lulu, you *were* directly behind me and my girlfriend… we were in Sec D, Rob B, 8 and 9.

I was in Sec D, Row D, 6 and 7…right next to that guy. I think that was the funniest dancing of the night. Can anyone come up with a good description of the style? Plus that bald guy right on the center aisle on the floor in row G. And then the beatnik (sal) looking dude who went CRAZY during one song down there next to bald guy. I couldn't dance that much because my body still hurts from the Philly show.

The Philly show had a better song order (starting w/ Veloria…going into lots of fast stuff, slow in middle, then picking up speed to finish). Also…the drums reverberate all around DAR too much. And I thought Frank/Francis/Charles' vocals were a little low. But it was still the Pixies and amazing.

What's with everyone sitting down in Section T? I think D could take T any day.

the jumping whooper. i'm not sure if he was whooping last nite, but the last couple of fall shows i was at i had the bad fortune to be standing next to him and he'd just jump up and down going "whoop! whoop! whoop!" all the time. quite annoying. like peter garrett on ecstasy or something. i was in row p last nite and definitely noticed him.

i rather enjoyed the show. i liked the slow build throughout the set, and things really picked up with "debaser." funniest part was when frank motioned offstage at one point for someone to come out and pick up his towel for him. he sure is one sweaty dude. i also think most hardcore bands have more hair than the pixies. still a very fun night, although constitution hall is just a totally lame venue. washington crowds are obviously never the most energetic, but it's hard to blame anyone last nite. it was like a sauna in there. the sound was decent, i've heard it much worse. it still bounces all over the place, but i could make most everything out.

He most certainly was. Right behind me. In my ear.

Was he the one in the tank top waiving his hands every once in awhile. We enjoyed watching him also. He stuck out since noone within 8 seats were moving.

Yeah…that guy! He seemed REALLY into it. Then another guy came behind him for one song who was really excited about that one song (i can't remember what song it was…somewhere in the middle of the set).

Great show! I was Section D Row D aisle seat 8 or 9. Dancing in a way that only a white man could! I have been waiting to see the Pixies for YEARS!! Thanks for the presale tickets! Only complaint- they didn't play "Into the White". Highlight- "Hey". My friend after the show said she was disappointed that they played "Monkey gone to Heaven". She said that they were "appealing to their pop fans". I told her to get over herself and that she was too cool for school.

My sentiments exactly to your friend. "Monkey gone to heaven" and "Velouria" back to back was on of the highlights for me. I agree with you on "Hey". That was maybe my favorite too.

I was next to you and appreciated your enthusiasm.

I was exactly 3 rows behind him (Row K on the aisle). He would alternate between whooping, jumping around waving his arms in the air like he's in aerobics class, and sitting down for 10 minutes at a time. Then he'd jump up and start all over again. I see him at shows all the time. He's hard to miss.
