You made the right choice. The venue they got for the Vancouver show was even worse than the two I predicted. That shit is like a 45 minute bus ride from downtown. Fucking dumb. Yeah and isn't that venue even bigger than the forum? He didn't even sell out the forum last November if I remember right.

The XX show in Portland sold out fast. I grabbed a ticket just in time.
But for some reason, Animal Collective STILL isn't sold out. What the hell?

Sorry 'nater but I left before you responded. Hope you enjoyed the night.
Holy shit was Jeff Mangum unreal. One of the most powerful solo performances I have ever seen. "Naomi" was amazing, but I was deeply saddened by the fact that "Two Headed Boy" was missing from the setlist. Part Two was done so that was good enough I suppose. The crowd was fantastic for him and everyone (except for the thousand's that vacated after the first song) were appreciative of getting the opportunity to see this legend play live. I still can't believe that the Calgary Folk Fest nabbed him. What a great night.
Dan Mangan also announced that he will be playing in Calgary at the end of November with The Rural Alberta Advantage. Now that is a tour not to be missed.

I saw deadmau5 play there before and though the venue is not horrible, the location is.

The XX is hip and hip kids rule the world, Geno. I ain't hip because the XX puts me to sleep. In my opinion the XX is good for one thing, making sweet sweet love. It's funny because my hot wife has been waiting forever to see the XX and Franz Ferdinand. Both of them announced shows in Portland right after we found out that we are moving to Texas. She was kickin' rocks and shit. I don't really care though because I am not a fan of either....except of course in the situation I described above.

In other news...it's kind of awesome that my last show in Portland will feature everyone's favorite front man, Conor Oberst. His punk band, Desaparecidos, is coming to the Crystal Ballroom. They only wrote one album a million years ago and are reuniting for just a handful of shows. One of their stops just happens to be Portland. I am a lucky guy!
