7/21/2008 10:44:40 PM

Nas and Talib Kweli in Charleston, SC on the 30th (the day I get done with my Bar exam).

Fucking pumped!

7/21/2008 11:50:34 PM

^^ i was gonna say i'm so over it

but i'm not

and i'm not sure if that's nostalgic or pathetic

7/22/2008 1:35:39 AM

i vote nostalgic. because i'm right there with ya. and i am many things, but pathetic is not one of them (orrr maybe it is). either way i am probably going to want to go to this even though tickets will be like 40 bucks. and its the day before i start school. and its not even necessary. and its in memorial auditorium. and it may or may not be pathetic.

7/22/2008 1:44:27 AM

i mean, the show at the orange peel was simultaneously fun and lame

the show i saw at ovens on the adore tour was excellent

and this venue is similar, but the new record sucks, and adore does not

*sigh*

7/22/2008 1:57:26 AM

are any of those $10 tickets to 311/Snoop still out there?

7/22/2008 9:55:34 AM

re: smashing pumpkins,

I really, really enjoyed the Greensboro show last year, where the sound wasn't so hot and the crowd wasn't so great.

I think you'll get in what you put out as far as adjusting that sliding scale of expectations.

But will go again after going last year. Totally worth it.

Same exact way I feel --- I don't know if I can justify dropping $45 on the Pumpkins when I saw that awesome show at Ovens back in (jeez, was it '98 or something), and then two shows at the residency last year. Especially with there being so many good bands coming around this fall and the prospect of them playing mostly shit from their horrendous "new" album.

Someone earlier listed it being in Memorial as a "bad" thing.... I've enjoyed every show I've ever seen in Meymandi or Memorial. Christ, the sound anywhere is better than the Cradle.

Don't get me wrong, the Cradle holds a special place in my heart, but the sound system in that place sucks complete asshole these days.

7/22/2008 10:49:40 AM

anybody got 2 tickets to She & Him on monday that they are willing to part with?

7/24/2008 6:56:08 PM

Tilly and the Wall was fun tonight

7/26/2008 2:08:05 AM

God dammit I'm pissed about She&Him selling out.

Would have been my first show in over a month (apart from tiny greenville shows) =\

Should have gotten tix a while ago, blah

7/26/2008 2:58:03 AM

I feel like a complete retard for not getting She & Him tickets in time. If anybody has an extra ticket or two, PLEASE let me know.

7/26/2008 2:04:02 PM

Well, I got my Wolf Parade tix and I pretty much had a choice between She&Him or WP, so now I feel better
