spoon cancels so they can play with the shins at merriwe

[ggw]

I think a lot of people in this town would be really happy if Spoon played the 23rd at the club in addition to the Shins gig.

I hate to ruin some folks' fairyland perception of the music biz, but a support act is booked to sell tickets
 
 playing the next night for less kind of defeats the purpose
 
 IT IS A BUSINESS
 
 THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS
 
 BABIES COME FROM THE STORK
 
 well, at least that's how that last one was explained to me

If it's not legit, it's a hilarious fake.
 
 I bet pitchfork would eat it up and report it without checking to see that it checks out.

The grammar and spelling are way too correct for it to be a real rock star.

Britt is a total geek.  Of course he knows grammar and punctuation.  *sigh*  I love him     He needs to marry me.

Oh, and do you think I should hang onto my ticket for the 23rd just in case the MPP show sells out and they can do the show on the 23rd?  Or is that just wishful thinking?  I have until November 7th to mail my tickets in for the refund anyway...

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

If that happened, they could sell tickets to ONE Spoon show at a higher price than they were getting before. Would make great business sense!

WTF?  He posts there where they scoop this discussion 5 days later and not here!  Fuck him.  Now I definitely wouldn't go to Merriweather if I was a Spoon fan.  And not because of of the shows being moved - because he has a poor understanding of where important things really happen in vurtual DC.

dude, if he's not a member here, he couldn't even read this thread to know what's going on.  on dcist, he can read freely and post as a guest.

I forgot to use my sarcasm tabs again.
 
 [sarcasm]That just shows a lack of effort on his part.[/sarcasm]
