Anybody going? I haven't been to Wolftrap for awhile...hoping to get up front on lawn to be able to see if we go...question...do assholes often stand on the lawn, or do they remain seated?

i am.  it'll be my first wolf trap experience (hard to believe considering that i grew up in the area), so i can't help you on the question.  let's hope the rain ends tonight as it's supposed to!

This is actually similiar to what I was about to write, so why bother writing was has already been written?


DeVotchKa first started getting national attention for its spectacular 2004 album, How It Ends, a swooning combination of Eastern European gypsy folk, country doom-rock in the 16 Horsepower vein, romance-drenched strings, and Nick Urata?s soaring, Morrissey-esque vocals.

Is Byrne still doing that songs of david byrne/brian eno thing? I caught it in Philly last november; the TH stuff sounded great and on point but every new album track killed the momentum of the older song before it. And when there were two new songs in a row, forget it; sleepy time! Devotchka are fun live.

I believe he is. Hoping for at least 50% TH songs.

Yep, seen Devotchka several times. Looking forward to that.

It was around an even split.
There was also at least one Bush of Ghosts song.

Well, you have to understand, RustyOrgan can masturbate to Cat Power, and probably not to David Byrne.
