could you handle three days of your favorite band?  the traveling, the hotels, the food, the drinking, the smoking?  the passing the time between actual live music, the people . . . and let me restress that, the people.  dealing with more people than you used to want to care about for three days, all while spending money for it all that frightens you because you keep looking in your wallet wondering where is it going.  the following mornings, where you somehow find yourself in shitty waffles houses, really not caring for the bright bright lights.  phish, i am almost done with you.

This is exactly what happened to me in 1997 when I went to the Great Went.  I was DONE.

I have nothing scheduled this week, nothing going forward.  Should Neutral Milk Hotel be my last show ever.

Due to my good luck, I won a free pass to UN Fest so I will now be going to that Friday and Saturday instead of my previous plans (I might try to do the club k hip hop show tomorrow night)…

Nine Inch Nails Friday night
Maybe UN fest saturday

I guess that Zola Jesus show isn't cancelled now due to the government opening….or is it cancelled?

edit: yep it's cancelled due to government shutdown…they announced this the day the government is opening back up. what the fuck

From Sacred Bones:

WASHINGTON, D.C.: We regret to announce that the GOP shutdown of the federal government has forced the cancellation of the ZOLA JESUS show at the Hirshhorn Museum on 10/25. The Hirshhorn's statement below:

"Due to the government shutdown, The Hirshhorn Museum will be unable to proceed with the October 25th After Hours as planned. If you purchased a ticket you will receive an email with details on how to claim a full refund. If you do not receive an email from the Smithsonian, please call 866-868-7774"

If I can recognize you from your twitter picture i will say hi on Saturday Haggis (I plan on being there from Peach Kelli Pop to Weekend)!

That is weird it is still shutdown… That show isnt even until the 25th.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.  The Senate and the House have yet to vote on the compromise, and the President still has to sign it.  Nothing is done until its done.

Also from Sacred Bones:

Hey all, appreciate the sentiment. We are as disappointed as you. We will be moving the show….to next year. The Hirshhorn is a sacred space and was chosen deliberately for this performance due to the sound logistics and delicacy of Nika w/ string quartet and conductor. To do it in any other space would be an artistic compromise we do not wish to make. We will do it next year, we promise! Come to CHGO or Asheville on 10/24-26?

I notice Franz Ferdinand has been playing 12 song setlists…

various vermont hippies are already claiming that they will be bringing heady toppers to sell at various phish show lots.  i would pay upward of five to ten for just one, just to say i tried it.
