Done with that, though. Now I’m just complaining that the show was too short and I didn’t get my $14 worth.

Oh, man. I’m sorry about the show. It is a tough call when you’re sick. I saw the Dresden Dolls last year where Brian was ill in the motel and it was just Amanda (she called Brian on her cellphone and we all yelled for him to get well). And At least the Mountain Goats played your neck of the woods, they don’t seem to want to travel up to Vermont 🙁

On a plus note for your show, it’s always a good sign that you’ll travel over an hour to see musician you’re into; if you don’t you’re in danger of being grown up.

Also on a side note, arkonbey, we went to see the Mountain Goats a couple of weeks ago. It was… okay. Actually pretty disappointing. John Darnielle was sick, and while I appreciate the show-must-go-on sentiment, he was really out of it. It was an extremely short set list, all low-key songs, and he looked like he was going to pass out the entire time. I guess I’d be complaining if the show had been cancelled, too, but if I’m going to drive an hour and a half into Philadelphia, find parking, stand in line in the freezing cold for three hours, and then stand around for another two hours in a church basement to watch a show, I’d like it to be a pretty damn good show. Still… it was great to see them live, even as sad as it was. We’d like to try to catch them again when he’s in top form. :o)

Smash Up Derby cars forever!

(in a side note, isn’t it funny how the interior of the 6mdm’s arm featured, not servos, but speaker wire held on by screws and a guage?)
