 Hot damn, 930. I just hope the tix aren't like $75. I gotta move soon and y'all know how that sucks, money and otherwise.

But haven't they mostly played theatres? 930 might just be the smallest venue on their tour; after all they're playing two nights while much bigger cities just get one.

state and riviera are almost identical, but not that much bigger than 930.  for comparison, nation is about the capaciy of the the state and riviera put together.  two intimate nights of computer love...

[danknugz]

im going to at least one of the nights.

[Joymonster]

I'm going to BOTH of those nights!

Allright don't get too jazzed. Not like they are showmen or anything. I saw them at Coachella last year and it's basically the 4 guys standing stock still in the dark behind their desktop computers, with a constant stream of films behind them.  All the big hits, though, delivered loudly, but no real difference from the records. In fact they were probably just playing the records.  Basically it is a good light and music show.

How much  of that show was focused on their latest 2004 album?

[kosmo vinyl]

I'm in!!! Should be a great one... Doubt they'll need a DJ for those show, but if they do Kosmette wont be seeing  much of me until then, while I'm locked in the lab digging in the crates.

i can attest to the fact that they are actually doing things and not just 'pressing play'.
 i was 4th row in miami and was very close to the stage.

HOLY CRAP!! I AM SO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, Nation isn't bigger than the Riviera. The Riv holds about 2500. Nation I believe is about a thousand or so less.

that's freakin' awesome...their tent at coachella was so packed that i couldn't get in so i had to sit outside and listen to the set. i've been waiting for them to do a us tour for some time now. i'm shocked, but very happy, that they're playing the 9:30 rather than nation.

i had the exact same problem @ coachella.  i chose to hang around for the entire radiohead set which ran over-time.
 when i saw miami tacked on to their south american tour back in november i decided i had to go.  i'd never been to miami and it was really nice to get away from the cold temperatures here and get down to the 70something daytime temperatures and 60ish nighttime temperatures.
