Hey Seth

[hutch]

Thanks for the Scorps Seth!

[eltee]

Unbelievable. Do you feel obligated to go to all these shows you asked for? Because you should.

Yup, and I do.. Only requests I can't attend are the ones I asked for in March. Just my luck, traveling same week. However, my luck doesn't work in Vegas, I'm pretty much a cooler...Besides, Temper Trap was probably a natural booking and less stroke of luck. Maybe I could be twangirl's protege, however.

Thanks for the Scorps Seth!

huh?  what?  the scorpions, the german hard rock band?  or are "the scorps" a new band that i'm going to have to look into?

[azaghal1981]

I wondered the same thing.

[sweetcell]

maybe it's the scorpions... according to http://www.the-scorpions.com/english/ they've recorded their last album and are going to do a farewell tour.  maybe hutch has heard that IMP is bringing them to DC?

either that, or "the scorps" are going on before florence and the machine...

Why are you pouncing on me again, sweetie?  You know how I love micro-managing comments.
Date specification? It actually works sometimes, whether they intend to benefit me or not.

yes, my comment was in reference to your date specifications.  if a band is playing philadelphia on march 1 and raleigh on march 3, guess when they'll be playing the 930?  how well do you think this conversation would go: "we'd love to have you perform at the 930, but march 2 doesn't work for us... maybe you guys could hit up atlanta and tampa first, then swing back by DC on your way to texas?  that way we could sell at least one more ticket..."

between the band's schedule, the club's availability/previous bookings, and who knows what other business concerns go in to these contracts, i feel that asking for a specific date is pointless.  if a date request of yours has been met i'd chalk it up as a happy coincidence

3/30/2005 - w/The 22-20's and Golden Republic

The openers were so much better than him.

Has Graham Coxon ever played 9:30?  Or D.C. at all?  I would -love- to see him live.

He's played the Black Cat at least once.

Damn.    I wonder when (to Google I go).  It must've been around the time of Happiness in Magazines or even earlier, because I would have definitely not missed it otherwise.  Other than a brief set at SXSW, I don't believe he's done any U.S. dates in support of The Spinning Top.

jonsi will be doing a big-production, multimedia tour in april after his coachella gig: http://www.fiftynineproductions.co.uk/project?p=58

i think DAR would be a great venue for this.

Chock it up however you like, sweetie, I do. Coincidence, yes, but when I gamble it doesn't hurt to ask.
(as you did when you asked for a show not to be oversold.) 
A couple of my date wishes have happened. In this case, I didn't look at Peter Gabriel's dates, relying on another who wrote  "May".
(Sorry for the needless cross-talk, everyone.)

And, it's Scorpions, dontcha know?

Meh....

I would see a Scorpions show in a heartbeat.  But not as part of this kind of Jaxxapalooza.

<shudder>

Sounds so hairy.

[Bombay Chutney]

Then again....It sounds kind of awesome. 

[Jaguar]

<shudder>

Sounds so hairy.

But surely much, much less hairy as it would have been at one time. 

Not in the least my cup of tea but what I'm very much hoping for is that the guy who made Heavy Metal Parking Lot shows up with a full camera crew. That would make for a bizarre sequel.

[Vas Deferens]

Not as hairy as you.

Very, very true.
