I bet they were all just disappointed because NKOTB wasn't there.

I don't think it will sell out in 24 hours, that is pretty rare for the Black Cat, and while they sold out fast in New York, that happens alot, as discussed here before

Crap, can that be?!?  I'll never get my posse focused on that so soon.  Maybe I'll just buy four or six tix..
 
 When do tix go on sale?
 
 What night are forum folks going?  (I was thinking Wed show for sure...)

Well I aint telling when tix go on sale...people might jump on the case quickly. I will say that it's soon. Probably being paranoid. The Subpop showcase (featuring the Shins) in NYC took a week to sell out, and that waas only 200 tickets they were selling to the general public.
 
 Probably will take more than a day or two to sell out, but I wouldn't wait too long on this one.

I can see how it would be a challenge to corral  51 gay men...

So you see my difficulty....I have to be sure there aren't any circuit parties going on somewhere that week....

Celeste had to run an ad in the paper just to corral one gay guy.

no, i can't wait to see you.............precious

I'll be at the show. Ted Leo gave a good performance at Coney Island, so it should be fun. And it might just sell out. I think Ted has a strong following in DC.
 
 And a reminder that it's celebration night for Markie!

Based on the audience in NYC, I don't think gay guys are interested in the Shins. Their audience populated almost entirely by straight 20 year olds wearing bad 80's clothes.
 
    You might have better luck getting the gayboys to see the Old 97's. Just show them a picture of Rhett.

Back to the topic of Ted Leo...  The Black Cat's webpage says:
 
 SAT DEC 13- TED LEO/THE PHARMACISTS, THE JOGGERS, THE DEEP SIX (DC Food Not Bombs Blanket Drive will be accepting donations of blankets, pillows, and toiletries)
 
 If you're feeling generous, bring a blanket or something.  Or some of your favorite soaps.

SAT DEC 13- TED LEO/THE PHARMACISTS, THE JOGGERS, THE DEEP SIX  

didn't the joggers also support the decemberists? if so, another reason to get there late.....

[godsshoeshine]

pitchfork had something favorable, and amg give them a decent review. take that for what you will, i usually show for openers regardless.

[ratioci nation]

yes, that was the joggers opening for decemberists, and I agree,a reason to show up late, although I dont know anything about the deep six
