Curefest

[filthypit]

better catch 'em @ HFStival - cause otherwise they're giving us the finger...
 
 and why the fuck anyone who's ever been to cleveland would willingly return, i don't know... must have good hookers/drugs or something
 
 so much for an enjoyable, laid back cure concert experience this summer

[Lamb007]

Hang tight.  I'm sure a DC area date is gonna happen.  They likely won't announce it until after HFStival so as to not kill interest in that show.  I'm guessing a Merriweather show in early August.  Humidity does wonders to mascara and hair spray.

So apparently there is now a date at Merriweather on August 6th.  A link to TM at that Chain of Flowers website is no longer working.  They also said that there is a presale on Monday.

The link appears to be working again.  The presale starts 5/26.  Anyone know if there's a password involved?

 CURE-ious?
 
 Playing happy synth-pop over melancholy lyrics with a uniquely fashioned frontman, The Cure became one of the most popular bands of the '80s.
 The godfathers of Goth will release their much antipicated new album, The Cure, July 29. The fascination continues as The Cure bring their Curiosa Festival 2004 to Merriweather this August.

$75 for seats? no thanks.
 as much as i like the cure (seeing 5 shows last tour), i don't think i could justify paying that for the show.  that's more expensive than coachella was, with a fraction of the lineup.  not to mention i've already seen all the bands i want to see at the festival... play full sets... for a total of less than it would cost to go to this.
 
 i previously was excited about going to some of these shows.  i no longer am.  i don't know if i'll even go to one now.
 
 i think i'll head to ACL instead.

my thoughts exactly!!! $75 is absurd. I was going to go and now i MAY go, but only to buy lawn tickets because I want to see Muse.  And if things stay the way they have been, Muse will be back here in 2007. so I'll pay the 40, and hang at the 2nd stage, and sit on the lawn for Interpol and The Cure.
   $75 sucks, really bad. and yes, that was the cost of a Coachella ticket.

Crap Crap Crap.  I was REALLY looking forward to this one.  Looks like it's gonna be another of those only-if-I-get-in-the-first-few-rows shows.  Hopefully the presale will work out.

whats new?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I won't be going to the Cure show, but maybe I'll wear my Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me t-shirt to Beulah.

Me neither...seen them twice already, which is enough. First time was at the old Capital Centre, which was a good show. Second time was at Merriweather which was crap.
 
 Won't be wearing a t-shirt either....and I hope you made your t-shirt yourself Mr. Rhett Miller!

Because I'm not willing to pay $75 to see them from mediocre seats.  I'd easily pay that much for a theater show, but I'm not willing to sit in the back of an amphitheater at that price.  Besides, I've seen them before.  It won't kill me if I miss them.

[Bags]

Aha, I see Skeeter. The willingness to sit in seats up close threw me...sonick, you got that?  Yeah, I'm dense, got no problems with that.  I think it will be a fun day...I'm not dying to see any of the bands, but am interested to see a bunch of 'em.
