We're trying to win tickets for that show on Canadian Turkey day. You're allowed to enter the contest three times per day via fb, twitter and the actual blog's website. I won Silversun Pickups tickets through the same guy so I didn't enter but my best friend has about 20 of the 30 total entries.
Great success! Grizzly Bear, and turkey and pumpkin pie!
Congrats!! Enjoy the show.
I heard they're going on around 10:45pm for their Sat show; if it's the same set times on Sunday, I think I might try to get a ticket out front since my last movie that night gets out at the same time and I'll be right across the street.
Grizzly Bear were amazing. They played [spoiler=my favorite song]'Lullabye'[/spoiler] and I was all like FUCK YES. All the new songs were also fuck yes's. This can only lead to your Canadian show also being a fuck yes.

Doors are at 8 for both nights, and since it's a long weekend, I would expect the set times to be the same as well. Lemme know if you end up going!
I forget, did I already tell you guys I'm opening for David Liebe fuckin' Hart in a few weeks?
Yes, you did, and that fact -- no fooling -- pretty much makes you cooler than anyone I know. Not that you weren't already.
I know I say this all the time, but I'm not even really exaggerating. Lumpy is literally the most naturally, inherently cool person I think I've ever met.
I wasn't fishing for compliments, but I have to say, I like what I caught.
FUCKING DRUMS AS A LEAD INSTRUMENT. AKA YES. They played more new songs than usual and they were the best ones. I seriously for serious looooove the new album so much. How was their Hopscotch marathon set?
The Hopscotch set actually wasn't as long as I imagined it would be. I asked Greg about it beforehand, and he said "Oh goodness no, we're not playing 2 hours. However, the more you get the audience to clap, the longer we'll play." I think a lot of that was probably because Liars needed a lot of setup time. Though, that doesn't make too much sense since Deerhoof just set up right in front of Liars stuff. Speaking of Liars, though I didn't see them, I did get to see Angus air-guitaring and rocking out to Deerhoof backstage. So, that was entertaining.
About to see Thee Oh Sees, expecting very much, but I just need to pop in here again to say that I am at the Nepchune Theater (where Dan Deacon is playing, a relatively new venue for shows) for the third time and can confirm that the sound system here is indeed epic. Be stoked.
