Rhett is touching himself

[MiloGTC]

The 9:30 site says "Friday, January 23rd" (the correct calendar date); the Bowery Ballroom site says "Friday, January 24th and Saturday, 25th" (sic). So does DC get the Friday night date, or does NYC get Friday and Saturday and leave us with, say, Thursday?

I am not touching myself over the prospect of a GWAR show.

Yeah, yeah, sure back to topic...oh, did you see Man Utd. beat Stuttgart 2-0 yesterday to finish top of their group in the Champions League....and in a very clinical fashion too.
 
 Okay, what were you saying that I'm sure was absolutely tittilating for the rest of us?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Celeste and I weren't saying anything. Others were speculating on a possible Old 97's show, which appears to be happening. You should go, you might like them.

You forget, Rhett, mankie has crappy taste in music, but good taste in food  

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Well that may be so, but the Old 97's are so excellent live, it would be hard for anybody not to enjoy themselves.

Even me?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I don't see how anybody couldn't enjoy their show.

I once went to a 930 triple-bill, Backsliders+Old 97s+SCOTS.  Thought 97s were OK, but definitely came in 3rd place

[Bags]

I think it'll be a great show -- I haven't seen them, but I have non-forum friends who have vouched for them as well.  I hope hope hope we get Friday night in DC!  I can't make it to NY that weekend...

:roll:  SCOTS=fun novelty act, but no way beating the Old 97s

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I was at that show, and would have to disagree. Though I do like both SCOTS and the now defunct Backsliders.
 
 I saw the Old 97's open for Wilco at the 9:30, and thought Wilco was better. But the 97's fared better with the headlining slot on their next tour.

I must admit I'm tempted to go to see the Heinz 57's just to check them out.
 
 I can always appreciate talent even though I may not like the music.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

well it's already on the 9:30 schedule for Friday 1/23. They wouldn't snatch it back at this point...

Throughout the 97s set, everyone was standing around talking about how hot the Backsliders were.  After SCOTS were 5 minutes into their set, no one was still thinking about the opening acts.  But yeah, I understand that fun is a novelty in some scenes

[nkotb]

Actually, I was never into GWAR at all.  I've never seen them either, although I'm always tempted, just to see what the fuss is about.
 
 Now, to keep this back on topic, I'm extremely psyched to see the Old 97's.  I've got to admit, I've only just gotten into them within the past year or so, mainly from Rhett going on about them constantly.  Thanks a ton, although that's yet another band I missed out on due to my sheer pigheadedness.
