i dont know
 
 personally i think less Rhett = more funny
 
   the same crappy lines over and over again get old, but if it was spread out more, it would catch you off guard and perhaps be funny more often.

Now that was funny. I have it on a mix cd a friend made for me. But not nearly as funny as the tracks she put on it from his first solo album from when he was a teenager...absolutely horrible stuff.

I caught the Pixies up at the Tweeter in NJ ...sixth row....if you have not seen this tour get the hell to it..it was so amazing I still talk about it...my voice was shot for a week
 
 and its kinda cool to be standing there saying "man thats the mother f***ing Pixies right there"
 
 plus I love Kim

Who doesn't?    She's a hot soccer mom.
 
 I will definitely be going to this. The shows at D.A.R. were some of the best of '04 and I'm sure the Merriweather show will be among the best of '05.

Blech, a Monday.

Blech, Merriweather.  I'll pass.

Merriweather is alot better than the concrete POS in Virginia.  For one it has the ever so cool 932, a Backbar in the burbs.  It's easier to get out of, and if you plan ahead not hard to get into either.

After Curiosa, I'd go back to Merriweather in a second. Not ideal to get to, but once you're there it's awesome. 9:32 was a blast, all in all it's just a much better outdoor venue compared to all the other ones I've seen...better than Nissan, Tweeter Center (Philly and Chicago), Hi-Fi Buys in Atlanta, etc.

and its cool cause its not called "Nissan" or "Best Buy" or some lame-ass corporate name...

I'll put $10 against that. [/b]

Not a good bet on a board where Terri Schiavo jokes had a strong run.
 
 I wouldn't advise Rhett to drop statistics for a career in stand-up, but if you don't think the guy rips a pretty funny one every once in a while, your sense of humor might need a tune-up.

maybe the dc area can get its own gorge/red rocks someday.
