i wonder how many tickets are available at the $125 price?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

wow, only $50 extra for pizza and beer. That's quite a baragain for the typical GBV fan!  

[Guiny]

Unfortunetely I will be in Arlington, Virginia the night that they come to DC. That is way too far for me to drive to see them.

you could not be more right, my dear pollard.  I am all over tickets, and so very excited for the Keene/Pollard festivities.  Now, about Chicago....

[chaz]

I'll pick up a couple GBV tix when I'm at the club for the Hives tomorrow night.  Never seen GBV so I'll take this last chance to check it out.  The only thing I've got by them is their recent greatest hits (at this forums recommendatin) and I love it.
