but I wasnt knocking Rhett Miller, so that is irrelevant, is it not?
I have seen AndrewWK twice and Rhett three times. Both artistes put on good shows.
Roll Call: Rhett Miller
I've never eaten there but from the dishes that I've seen, their salads look pretty good.
We will be at the cafe for dinner at 7, and go up to the show after that. Looking forward to seeing Markie, Lulu, Mr. Pollard, and whomever else comes!
I'm tempted, but i have another show to go to tonight. The next time he comes around i'll go just to give him a chance.
Is it Wycleaf Jean, or Soul Asylum?

I think I will be there. Any idea whether this show migh sell out? Thought about the opening band?
We bought tickets ten days ago. When I asked how well it was selling, the Black Cat guy said, "Not well at all." But that was ten days ago. Still, I very much doubt it will sell out.
The first time we saw Rhett play the Cat, a band called the Damnwells opened. The lead singer is doing a solo set opening this show. Kind of generic modern rock…my wife said they sounded like the Goo Goo Dolls, but maybe they weren't quite as slick.

Another excellent show by the Rhettster.
Sorry we weren't able to follow some of you down into the 'hood. A nine mile run, plus standing still for a couple of hours spelled the need to be sitting down for both of us.
Fico: nice to meet you and your pretty girlfriend.
Glad you all enjoyed the show!

Bought it in 1987 for $10 or so on the Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me tour. I don't have a problem with $10 t-shirts…that's one of the reasons for having t-shirts by lesser known bands…it's the #30-$40 t-shirts I have a problem with.

$10 in 87 is probably about $20+ today~! Do you have a problem with $20 T-shirts? ;)

Not true. Using the inflation calculator linked for this page:
http://www.bls.gov/bls/inflation.htm
you will find that $10 in 1987 is now worth $16.17 in 2003.
While $16 seems a tad bit high for a t-shirt, I guess it's acceptable if the band is your absolute favorite, as the Cure was for me in 1987. :)

Beats me. But the "About this calculator" link says:
The CPI inflation calculator uses the average Consumer Price Index for a given calendar year. This data represents changes in prices of all goods and services purchased for consumption by urban households. This index value has been calculated every year since 1913. For the current year, the latest monthly index value is used.
And this link: http://www.bls.gov/dolfaq/blsfaqtoc.htm
answers a number of CPI related questions.
