this will probably be the hottest tour of the year to get tickets too. 2 nights of air is big, but this is enourmous. *snoopy dance*

ticket prices are generally cheaper in europe than in the us. when i was in italy, it seemed to be about 20% less(and taking in for currency exchange rates) than in the us and when my sister lived in england, my $40 tickets in boston were always more.
 
 however, now with the euro as the currency, i'm not quite sure if ticket prices have risen.
 
 bungle bud, barcelona, can either of you comment?

 Are you telling me that Pixies tickets were more expensive on this side of the pond?

Sonic Youth in Rome in summer of 2002 was 20 Euro (then approx. 20 bucks). Didn't they charge $25 here?

I think the relevant comparison would be ticket prices in London vs. DC. Not that it really matters. People obviously are going to pay whatever, and this will be a financially successful venture for the Pixies.

It's Kim's sister Kelley that is the dope fiend, dumb ass.  Now get back into your hole.

I know, it was a joke, dummy.
 
 Kim is the one with the intense b.o. problem.

There was the time I met Kim when she was coming out of Steve Albini's house (he was my neighbor in Chicago) and she told me she hadn't brushed her teeth in 3 days (TMI). Then she dropped the master tapes for the Amps' "Pacer" in the gutter. Kelly was there too, clearly going through some severe heroin withdrawl. She was rocking herself back and forth on the curb, looking very pale and sick. That Amps record was basically a Breeders record, without Josephine. Jim McPherson was there too. I was back in Chicago on my spring break, I got them to sign my Breeders and Pixies stuff which was cool.

After a Breeders show in Barcelona in 1994, Kim Deal drew Shane MacGowan's face in my t-shirt. She was really nice.
 
 The Amps's shows in Spain were some of the best shows I have been to.

nice to see so many pixies groupies - myself and some friends bumped into the band before a gig at the national stadium in dublin (a very fancy name for a boxing venue with a capacity of maybe 1,200)
 
 Kim was very nice - my friend asked her to sign the back of his shirt - she even asked if Steven was spelt with a v or a ph - when he took it off she's written "Fuck you Steven, Love Kim"....it was the greatest day of his life!
 
 One other Kim memory - about 15 minutes into the gig everyone is going absolutely mental and Kim steps up to the mic and says, "So we're going up to Belfast tomorrow, should we bring machine guns?" I've NEVER heard a crowded arena go so quiet so quickly.....

[gerry]

well the good news (for me anyway) is that the pixies have confirmed a show in dublin this summer. the bad news is that it's supporting the chilli peppers in the phoenix park (outdoor, capacity around 80-100,000). will still be there after forking out â?¬65 (nearly $80) a ticket but i can foresee a major dash to the beer tent once the pixies finish up.

This is great....you Pixies mob are as giddy as the Justin Timberlake newbies were that time.
 
 After listening to them quite a bit on FRED, they are growing on me again. When I heard them played the first few times I thought to myself, "Hmmmmm,not as great as I remembered them" but that is beginning to change.

I know, at that time I was 20 years old. I hope it is acceptable. Kim Deal was to me like Shane MacGowan or Mike Scott would have been to you at that age.
