I know it's early, but who's going?
-
I'll be at home, scraping my fingernails on the blackboard.
-
I'm kind of surprised this hasn't sold out yet. I don't think she's played DC before and the internet buzz has been deafening.
-
it will be sold out soon.

I should be there, and it looks like I'm due to buy a ticket today. Thanks for the heads up, Joe.
She did play at least once before, at Iota, opening for Devendra.

I'll be there.

i'll be there, but only for pg six. though i like joanna newsom, her new album is excessive and pretentious, but i have to go to the red and the black to check in on the fancie show. pg six is excellent, so those going should get there early; he blows away devendra banhart but isn't as cute so therefore will never be as popular.
-
Looks like it's sold out now, at least according to ticketmaster.
-
Tough, I snoozed and lost out on this one. The very positive press for the new album out today probably helped make this a sellout. I should have bit the bullet on the Ticketmeister charges and ordered tix today.
-
I've got an extra, PM me if you want it.
-
Felt this needed a bump.
I agree with snailhook to a degree about the new album; it's wickedly pretensious and exhaustingly excessive. But that doesn't stop it from being heads and tails above just about everything else I've listened to this year. The depth of her vision and ambition of this album is just staggering.
Of course, I doubt I'll be anywhere near as obsessed with Ys as I was/am with The Milk-Eyed Mender. That album still regularly gets spun.

Fun show tonight...she played a few tunes solo, then her backing band came out and played through the entire new album. She sounds great live and her harp playing was exquisite. The crowd's request for an encore went unanswered, but a nice way to spend a Friday evening.
-
This is the reason why she didn't do an encore. From pitchforkmedia.com is a review of the NC show:
"She told a story about playing a "sleepy show" in D.C. the previous night, vowed that tonight would be different, then sat down at her harp and played a pitch-perfect rendition of "Bridges and Balloons".
