I can scratch one more 'must see' from my list.
I'm going to see ARE EEE Freakin' EMM!!!!!
I've been wanting to see this band for 20 years. Ever since Green came out. I always missed them when they played here. Either they sold out before I could get through the phone lines (back in the days when you actually had to phone or line-up for tickets) or there was something else going on and I couldn't make the date.
They even played a free show here in 2001 where the city closed off a major downtown intersection and set up a big stage for them. The show was three blocks from my office at the time. And I had to be out of town on business that day and rescheduling the meeting was not an option!
But I'm going this time. I ordered the hot little tickets in a HOB pre-sale.
And it gets even better...'cause we also get to see Modest Mouse, another "wanted to see" band that I always seem to miss.
Oh yeah, and Swishy's "must see" The National. I'm not a big fan but maybe seeing them live will change that.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFREAKINHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo stoked!
