The Hold Steady

[m.truslow]

So who’s going?  Atlantis or 9.30? 

[Space Freely]

I'll be on the island of Madeira the first night, then the city of Lagos (Portugal) the second two nights. Cool Airbnb's at both.

I wasn't that impressed with their last DC show at the Black Cat, and there's lots of other shows that week that I'd see if I were around, so probably wouldn't go, for $45 plus fees.

But anyway, welcome to this forum. Unless you're a former member re-registering as a newbie. In that case, welcome back. Stick around, it's lots of fun. Where do you stand on Ukraine?

How about I give you guys daily vacation reviews in June, and you guys give me show reviews of all of the shows I would have been seeing?

I'll even post a pic of me in my Speedo.

Speedos are very European* AND elite†. Seems very Julian to me.


*Speedos were invented in Australia

†Elite as in fitness

So you're saying the presale PW is 'SPEEDO'?

[Space Freely]

If only Craig Finn would do these shows in a Speedo.

Hasn't Space previously vacationed in Portugal ?  It seems like this vacation chatter has been happening 4EVA!

Yes, I also have previously vacationed in the United States multiple times!

I can't say enough good things about Portugal. The flights are cheap (compared to flying to elsewhere in Europe), the lodging is affordable, the wine is amazing, the food is good (and affordable), the beaches (the Algarve) are beautiful, the island getaways (Madeira, the Azores) have great hiking and are beautiful, the cities (Lisbon, Porto) are cool, the people are super friendly, the women are beautiful (my wife says the men are too small...her loss I guess.)

I wish we had gone a couple of weeks earlier, would have been able to hit the Porto version of the Primavera Festival. I'm not sure how much festival tickets normally go for, but 175 Euros for three days seems super reasonable. https://www.primaverasound.com/en/porto/primavera-sound-porto-programme Probably not that much more than a Hold Steady three day pass???

[Vas Deferens]

Primavera Porto is a great festival and the setting is all grass...I am thinking about going back to the Barcelona one.
