I would like to go, but I will be saving my money and energy for GBV in New York this weekend.

We'll be there Wednesday.
 
 Don't forget these shows are Food Not Bombs blanket drives.

He did say "I'll see some of you tomorrow night"  but that's about it.
 
 Good show last night... not the best I've seen of him... it seemed the balance in the speakers was a bit odd.  Highlights included the usuals... he took a request for Under the Hedge, also played Biomusicology, some from Hearts of Oak, and then mostly the new album, which was to be expected.
 
 Dunno why, but I just don't find the new album as exciting.
 
 He didn't play Ballad of the Sin Eater, which, I believe, is for one of two reasons-- either to save it to make you want to come back tonight OR because the guy who kept shouting out "SIN EATER" was an abnoxious oaf and pissed him off.
 
 WSC did what they always do.  Nothing new there.  As usual, their hair was clearly the most exciting performer on stage.
 
 Mary Timony was good too, but the crowd just wasn't listening.  Her stuff is a little too down for Teddy's crowd, though.

He has not played it the last few times, the only time I have seen him played was when I requested it at the backstage solo show.

He did play a cover of Split Enz's "Six Months In A Leaky Boat".  That was pretty cool.
 
 As for WSC, they played a bunch of new songs. Supposedly, they may have a new disc out this summer.  I liked what I heard.
 
 It was definitely social hour at the Black Cat last night. Usually I just notice a handful of people not paying attention or talking too loud.  Last night it seemed like  everyone was chatting the whole time.  Not loud and obnoxious, but more of a constant level of noise from the crowd.  Not really a complaint - just an observation.
 
 Good show, but I liked last winter's show better.

Did it sell out?
 
 I still don't have my ticket for tonight, but I'm going to try to get there around opening time...

They were still selling tickets when I got there (just after 9:30).  It was crowded, but I'm not sure it sold out.  There seemed to be a bit of room behind the soundboard.

I may drive by after my dinner tonight just to see if I can get it...it may be late -- 10:00 or 10:30.
 
 When did he go on last night?

I've got a Blonde Redhead bootleg from a show I attended at the old Black Cat.  On tape the crowd is chattering not only through the breaks between songs, but during the songs themselves.

Judging from the # of folks behind the sound board last night I'd say it didn't sell out.  I would expect tonight to sell out.  Judging from the setlist (which was pretty different from the show I saw in Balt. at the beginning of the tour), I'd say he left a lot of songs for tonight so I guess he is planning on accomidating people who go both nights and want different set lists.  I have not seen him play Sin Eater in about a year or so, possibly spurned on by the annoying chants.  The solo show backstage was still the best I have seen.

Yes, yes, and yes.  That was an excellent show.
