Haha! I feel so Sherlock Holmes! I had read on Brooklyn Vegan that She & Him were doing some more shows. I had missed all of their SXSW shows and haven’t had a chance to see their NYC shows yet, so I decided to check out if they were coming to Boston or not. They were not. BUT they were doing a show in Northampton, MA, on July 24. That seemed undoable until I realized I had to be in Connecticut for a wedding the next day. Serindipity!
So I set out to buy tickets, only to discover it’s basically impossible to buy tickets for this Academy of Music Theater over the web. Not at Ticketmaster, not at Ticketweb. There was a website, but all of the tickets said to call. So I did, and went to the ticketing extension, only to listen to a really long voice mail about a lot of movies that aren’t Zooey Deschanel and M Ward singing cute songs. Then it hung up.
But!
But I noticed that one movie had tickets available at something called Tix.com, so I went over to the site and sure enough, I did a search! And yes! the show was there! AND I GOT 4 TICKETS, SECOND ROW CENTER. Score! Buy now.
In other news, I’m hitting Sup Pop’s 20th Anniversary Festival in Seattle In July. I was on the fence about it until a) I just visited my friends in Seattle and realized how fun it would be, and b) THEY ADDED THE VASELINES TO THE BILL. OMG. That’s too exciting. I bought a ticket for their Brooklyn show @ Southpaw too to be safe, but I’m pretty sure I’m going. That’ll be fun.
Also figured out where to see Nick Cave this year – 9:30 Club in October.
So that leaves really one artist I haven’t figured out how I’m going to see. Leonard Cohen. Still gotta figure that out. Dude’s not playing america. Road trip anyone?
