But I promised myself I would write one, and "I -meant- it this time!" So... Ah. The show was wonderful. Best I've seen, I think... the boys had tons of energy (suitable for a pseudo-release party) , and the set was nice and long (a first for me... all my shows so far have been at festivals or half-sets, i.e., the Bottom Line New Years shows). I won't go through the setlist, since that's been done to death, but I will mention that I -finally- got to hear two songs that I've been waiting for: Boo Time, and, be still my heart, The Drinking Song. Yes, I know that it's old, but perhaps that's why I've never heard them perform it before... it was worth it to sing along, after all the practice I've had. Soundwise, I was a bit too close to the speakers, so it was a bit iffy... not sure how it sounded elsewhere. I also couldn't see any of Murray other than his feet (which I studied; he was always standing on the outside edges of her Converses :) ) because of where I was standing. I couldn't very well move, though, because I was trying to stay near a very dear net-friend who was visiting me in the city... unfortunately, she didn't seem to enjoy it as much as I had hoped. Ah, well, you can't convert them all (as Lizzie would know...) Speaking of Lizzie; yes, Murray was wearing your shirt. And though I've already told you about this, they even discussed it a bit during the banter... Murray: "Is it just me or is it muggy? I really shouldn't be wearing a polyester blend." (approx.) Jian: "I don't think that's a -blend-..." Murray: "It's polyester blended with other polyesters." The oft-mentioned King of Spain teaser was interesting... during the rather lengthly encore-pause (probably due to the broken string), part of the crowd began yelling "King of Spain! King of Spain!". When the boys finally came out again, Dave introduced the encore as a "sing-along, a pretty easy one..." Then, after a few more "Peking" jokes (there was a boat nearby named the "Peking" that the band was complaining about, saying it should have been the "Bejing"), Dave began with an extremely slow, empty version of King of Spain... confusing, especially since it was not yet obvious that they were stalling... then when the song sort of petered out... well, it wasn't too hard to figure out. It got a little tiresome after awhile, but it was worth it I think, for The Drinking Song... ah. We had to leave early, so I didn't have a chance to meet the band (the line was tremendous), see if I recognized anyone from FRFF, etc., as I would have liked to... we had a train to catch. All in all, though... lovely. Absolutely lovely. Can't wait for December... (By the way... if this actually gets through to the NG... anyone here using a free NNTP server to read/post to the group?

The setup wasn't ideal, and a lot of people had trouble seeing (I had a good seat both times [5:30: *Thank you,* Amanda!!], luckily) from the back, or from behind the racks (it was noted that everywhere one turned, people could be seen in nooks). Upbeat songs were well-appreciated; as was being able to hear some of the stuff I'd anticipated at Ram's Head that weren't played. (not that I didn't enjoy the show-- I did, very much!)

The Odeon charges two prices, the cheaper one for advance tix, and the more expensive tix for those bought at the door. There's no special seating. It is, like Josh said, a very large room, with a balcony that rarely gets used. Be pleased that this is an all-ages show. The Odeon has been known to be pissy about such stuff. :) And don't expect the staff to be all warm and fuzzy after the show, either.
