Cool Kosmo – I'll be there, but I have a work event and my just get in by 10:00….

Gwen, I've never seen Metric play even as long as an hour and a half (I've seen them 4 or 5 times – everytime they've been at 9:30 Club); you should be fine…

cool on one hand, but not on another.

next week i'm seeing a band in baltimore that is never done their set before the 2 hour mark. which i guess some people might say is too long, but i'm dancing the whole time and don't even notice.

i only just started getting into metric so i'm super excited to see them for the first time.

They're damn good based on what they played at V Fest a couple of weekends ago.

I'm going tonight as well…thought I'd do a Rach and announce my agenda for the evening.

so I'm going to….

well maybe not.

Definitely not full. We were figuring about 2/3 full. Kosmo can probably best estimate, as he got the view from above.

It was a great show, far better than their last in DC. Is anyone else slightly obsessed with "Joyride"? I wasn't too disappointed with the setlist, as this mini tour was advertised as a trial run for new songs; I just wish they could have thrown in "Up In Flames."

Not as good as cale's, but what can I say?

Yes. And it was great. Sloppy and a little too short, but still one of the better shows I have seen this year or last. The show-closing bass-and-crowd rendition of Jenny was worth the price of admission.
