this is how you can tell when you're really old:the last two concerts we've seen have been at venues with not only seats but assigned seats. and we think this is a good thing.
just like both of the concerts: magnetic fields at town hall on friday night and k.d. lang tuesday night at the allen room (a very special venue: approx. 450 capacity, great sound and the backdrop to the stage is a tremendously huge window looking out onto central park south).
both shows were sold out. both had enthusiastic crowds (though k.d. had tony bennett in her audience).
magnetic fields song that would've made the show just a wee bit better: "100,000 Fireflies"
k.d. lang song that would've made the show just a wee bit better: "Pullin' Back the Reins"
definitely two of the best shows we've seen in a while. of course, we didn't go out much at all in december and january (too cold; another way to tell that you're really old).
an abridged reprint of my magnetic fields piece (a.k/a the Ethan Frome piece) is up at sfweekly.
in other news: we fly to mississippi on saturday, I'm about to take a long vacation from my day job, I was sent a janet jackson download today but I'll be damned if I can get it into my iTunes (not knowing how to work your own computer; another way to tell that you're really old).
good night everybody!
