I'd say it'll be either at the Jube or the Jack Singer again. Both are fine by me.

Fever to Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

So use the dancing brocoli!

CTRL F5 is to clear cache I believe.

Well, I will be there by my lonesome as I am travelling up from Calgary, so you should say hi.

I'll be four rows behind you! you're just off to the side of the orchestra pit, no?

Sitdown shows for full bands actually isn't too bad. I just saw Josh Ritter, and it was sit down, assigned seating, and people tend to be more respectful to the artist and to the people around them, and also they can get into and appreciate the music a bit more. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind jumping around during Matt's harder songs, but I think this could be okay.

That's crazy. When I ordered my Edmonton ticket, it was at like... 12:50, and I got left center in the orchestra pit, row F.

I am actually really regretting not heading up to Edmonton to see him >.<

If anyone is wondering, the unionevents.com presale password for the NAIT show in Edmonton is "hospitalmusic". Took me 3 guesses, but I got a seat on the floor, Left Center, Row F.

Didn't get the chance to meet him. A friend of the gal I went with opened for him in Calgary last year, and we couldn't find said friend at the show, and I was offered a ride home, so I took that instead of waiting in the somewhat cold outside the bus. Anyways, the opening act, Emm Gryner was decent enough. She had a pretty voice, did some neat guitar loop stuff a la KT Tunstall, played some cool tunes on the piano, and Josh brought her out during the encore to sing a song along with him. And now to Josh Ritter and the band. All I can really say is "wow". The thing that stood out most was just how genuinely happy he was to be playing music for people. You look at of him playing To the Dogs or Whoever, and you can see how much fun he's having, and that was him during the entire performance, and it was really something awesome to see. He's a pretty funny guy, good banter, good jokes and all that fun stuff. The performance itself was awesome. He's a very talented performer, and the guys in his band are also incredible musicians. The set itself was a mixture of newer stuff and older stuff, the newer stuff occupying the first half of the set, the older stuff, which I'm not all that familiar with, occupied the 2nd half, with a Johnny Cash cover thrown in for good measure. Songs I remember being played include Monster Ballads, Idaho Idaho, Lillian Egypt, Good Man, Wolves, To the Dogs or Whoever, Mind's Eye, Right Moves, The Temptation of Adam, Open Doors, Next To the Last True Romantic, Wildfires, Kathleen, and of course, Girl in the War. There aren't enough good things I can say about the concert, it was just fantastic.

And I'm very very excited, because, not only do I expect a stellar performance I also have a somewhat okay chance of meeting the guy tonight. So, has anyone here seen him live and if so, thoughts?

Calgary hasn't been announced yet, don't get your panties in a knot.

From what I remember, I think every MGB show I saw where they played "Rico" he got the crowd to sing the "fuck off" part.

Edmonton and Calgary, here I come.

Awesome. I'm not sure if you can tell, I'm on a kick for bands with female vocalists as of late. If I had to redo, there'd be even more girls singing. Also, here is the track list: Days of Being Wild by ...and you will know us by the trail of dead When It Rains by Paramore Dove Coloured Sky by Neverending White Lights Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson Dark Come Soon by Tegan and Sara Brightly Wound by Eisley Perfectly Placed Tills by Eyes Full of Stars Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie Starlight by Muse Samson by Regina Spektor On and On and On by Wilco Boy With the Bubble Gun by Tom McRae Fuck Was I by Jenny Owen Youngs Fashionably Lonely by Viva Voce Fin Song 8 by Gregory and the Hawk Celebration Guns by Stars Matroshka (the Ornament) by Dredg Two-Headed Boy pt. 2 by Neutral Milk Hotel

i've only heard a couple songs from the new album as they've come up on my ipod at work, and so far I'm enjoying what I've heard

And there's also the fact that Matt has said on numerous occasions that he wishes he had never written the song. And I've heard "Rico" yelled out at every show since he stopped playing the song, acoustic or full band ;)

City and Colour- Bring Me Your Love Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories- Tails Juliette and the Kinks- Four on the Floor

Too long, didn't read.

Kitchener and Hamilton were just announced.

I remember wearing it at school and everyone was all "yo what team is that?"

I've had that thing since like 2000, it's bound to show some wear and tear ;)

I guess I'll have to be buying tickets for both Calgary and Edmonton this go around >.>
