hstencil, Saturday, 31 May 2008 16:34 (sixteen years ago)

how was wire?

dan selzer, Saturday, 31 May 2008 16:50 (sixteen years ago)

I only know the first three records so I didn't recognize much in the main set (The 15th was the highlight) .... encore was great, three in a row from pink flag. big turnout.

dmr, Saturday, 31 May 2008 17:18 (sixteen years ago)

i will be in nyc for SY/feelies, excited
what else is going on late june/early july?

roxymuzak, Saturday, 31 May 2008 17:37 (sixteen years ago)

i was there, but mainly just to stage left. good set...didnt stay for most of the encore, as the liquor had set in and our empty, empty stomachs were more forceful that our ears in asserting their desires...

bb, Saturday, 31 May 2008 20:26 (sixteen years ago)

i will be in nyc for SY/feelies, excited

you probably already know, but even though that show is "free" you have to get tickets for it. just a heads up.
