The Shins - Wincing the Night Away

[Vas Deferens]

I saw them in 2002 opening for Mercury Rev!

Mark your calendars kids -- this is one of those rare occasions when I wholeheartedly agree with Rhett.  Despite some fantastic material, the Shins shows disappoint.

[sweetcell]

will there be an opening act at the shins show?  any good?

[lomein]

viva voce is opening.
 what's the parking situation at DAR? i'm debating whether to drive or metro. will it be over by the time the metro closes?

maybe not, but he's dating a  model, and has been for some time now.

if you don't mind walking 5 minutes, you're sure to find parking especially on a monday night.  i bet there is a lot of space west of the venue, lots of gov't buildings around there.  i usually park north of DAR, H/I/K street b/c i wanna grab a beer before and after.
 
 i'll have to look up viva voce, never heard of them.

Viva Voce caught my interest when their debut came out last year, mostly because they're a Barsuk band, and I love that label.  I never really did end up checking them out, though.

They were the band Silversun Pickups opened for at Iota.

any guesses as to times for each of the bands going on stage?

[sweetcell]

it's a fairly safe bet that viva voce will hit the stage on or very shortly after 8:00, since that's what is printed on the ticket     i'd think that the shins hit around 9, show's over about 10:30?  maybe that's just my wishful thinking, since it's a school night...

God, that would rule.  A combination of the time change and trying to run in the morning has left me all but dead this morning      i'd think that the shins hit around 9, show's over about 10:30?  maybe that's just my wishful thinking, since it's a school night... [/b][/quote]

FYI - I was just able to pull up a single floor seat  at TM.

[Vas Deferens]

They released orchestra seats last week (row M) but they were on the side...

[nkotb]

Did anyone ever find out set times for tonight?  I'm not sure I can make it to see all of Viva Voce's set, but I definitely don't want to miss any of the Shins.
