like Fugazi - Cashout

Give me a break... there's gotta be at least twenty people there, seriously...

lol I definitely didn't catch GVSB at KSET. 😁 😁

That was actually the weekend my current boyfriend showed up in Austin under the pretense that we all had to cook dinner for his best friend and my best friend. Turns out they were still busy cooking while we’d already been together for a year and a half 🙂

Ah, that was actually the weekend my current boyfriend showed up in Austin—under the pretense that we all had to cook dinner for his best friend and my best friend. They were still busy prepping while we'd already been together for a year and a half. 🙂

So who exactly ended up getting cooked? 😁

I'm eating way too much soy because I'm stuck living with a vegetarian😁

(mmm... pot roast....)

(Man... I miss good BBQ...)

Soy is supposedly good for women since it's packed with estrogen-like stuff, but for guys... who knows.😁

how were the Girls doing at X?

Last year, right around All Saints' Day...

I'm not really a fan of soy. It’s not like there's any beef stew with gnocchi available 🙂

Are you high or something, Josh? I was just asking how they were... 😁 Go drink some soy milk, maybe it'll help you grow... 🙂 then maybe you'll be a happier guy! 😁 🙂

a I totally misread that. And for the record, I haven't been high, nor have I ever been... not since I was last in Austin 🙂 . As for how things were, who knows? I was just busy cooking right outside X 🙂

My boobs are perfect exactly how they are, thanks for the concern 🙂 and I am NOT a fan of soy... are you high?

so why even bother reaching out then? 😂 😂

Look, I totally misread that and thought you were asking WHEN!!! Don't mess with my head! I'm done talking to you, you're being mean. 😛

soy translation...😁 😁

To me, GVSB was absolutely phenomenal—easily the best band on the planet. They played everything from "Wilmington" and "Cruise Your New Baby" to "(I) Don't Got a Place" and all their hits. Scott was clearly trying to outdo Jon Spencer with that "Thank... you... very... fuckin'... much...." bit, and man, it was hot, we were drinking, dancing... just pure bliss. But then I hear the older crowd complaining that they were way better back in the nineties, that this current lineup isn't cutting it, and that they desperately miss Eli Janney (even though some guy stepped in and handled the bass and keys perfectly fine). Honestly, give me a break! My only real gripe was "Kitty-Yo," which is a terrible song; if they had played "Explicitly Yours" instead, it would have been perfection... but even so, it was an incredible night. 🙂

Let's pivot back to the Pixies for a second...
I just shelled out for the whole ticket and bus package through $100 Art Travel. The catch? Aside from a receipt, I haven’t actually held anything tangible in my hands yet. They gave me a few different scenarios for how this plays out:
a) the tickets should arrive in about 10 days
b) the tickets won't show up until June 17th (!?!?!)
c) the tickets will be waiting at the box office on the day of the show.
Honestly, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence, but I couldn't find any other way to make this happen. Since seeing this concert is an absolute "must" for me, I figured I'd just take whatever deal was on the table.
By the way, there wasn't even an option to buy just the ticket by itself right now...

The whole ticket + bus package =$100 I paid for it myself through Art Travel. The weird part is, besides a receipt, I haven't actually seen anything tangible yet. They told me:
a) the tickets should arrive in about 10 days
b) the tickets might not show up until June 17th (!?!?!)
c) the tickets would just be waiting at the box office on the day of the show.
It doesn't exactly feel great, honestly, but I haven't found any other way to do this so far. Since I "have" to see this concert, I guess I'll just take whatever they're offering.
BTW, there wasn't even an option to just buy a ticket by itself right now...

From what I've heard, the tickets aren't even officially on sale yet.
The real question is how many tickets Art Travel will actually manage to snag...

The show is already posted online: the Monastery in Minneapolis...
The tour kicks off across the northern US and Europe...
The band is in such high spirits right now, and they're actually planning to drop 15 albums this year...!!!

I was at my high school graduation back then... DAMN...!!!😠 😠

Not exactly thrilled about this...😁 😁

Is anyone actually looking to trade?🙄

I honestly don't buy into the hype that the Pixies are even on speaking terms right now, so I’m trying not to get my hopes up too early... Just let me know once someone actually pulls the trigger and grabs a ticket.👋

Casey Green4 said:The band is feeling incredibly ambitious; they're actually planning to drop 15 albums this year...!!!

Yeah, right. Charging $20 for a burned CD at every single show? If that isn't highway robbery, I don't know what is. 🙄

np Dance Hall Crashers - will Tomorrow ever Come

Looks like they're hitting Chicago in November, which is the closest I can get—but damn, two out of the three shows are already totally sold out. Crap, I need to grab tickets fast, but I'm flat broke right now.🙄Typical.

But whatever, Pixies... they're worth it.
