Sad songs and waltzes aren’t selling this year

Iron and Wine with Calexico are playing the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, 16 Dec. Sarah and I want badly to go and to take my little brother, J.D.M. However, we also would rather not pay the $22 cover each for such a large venue. Such bands should be enjoyed in a more intimate surrounding. Perhaps they’ll come play in my living room. Besides, we fly to M-Pol the following Monday. Do we have any friends that are willing to go bootleg the show for us and to allow us to live vicariously through them???

P.S. S., music lover that she is, does not endorse bootlegging of bands that she likes, but N., clueless rebel that he is, believes i.p. laws to be wholly immoral and an undue burden.

One to go?!

I don’t mind bootlegging, burning albums is what bothers me.

Nathanael on November 30th, 2005 at 3:45 pm

That was me.

Is your living room big enough even for a solo artist?

Nathanael on November 30th, 2005 at 5:24 pm

No, it was me.

Nathanael on November 30th, 2005 at 5:24 pm

Yes, Dr. Strauss, one to go.

Bryan, once, back during the great Atlanta flood of 2002, I fit a jazz trio (with drum kit) in an even smaller living room. And twenty diners (but they kind of spilled over into the dining room)

Hey Nathanael and Sarah,
Iron and Wine just played with Calexico last night at the 9:30 club where I live in DC. THe tickets were of course, sold out. If I would have read the blog earlier I would have been happy to oblige with the bootlegging:) I was so close to going and scalping the tickets, but the bitter cold and the fact that it didn’t start till 10:30 pm were two deterrents.
But you are right, it definitley is better in a smaller venue, thus your living room might be just right for the time being…..

I am not going to see OTR. I have no one to see it with. I have no one to go see those kind of shows with anymore. It is a very very sad thing.
