journalism! sort of
I know this is a total blog no-no, but I have actual new information to contribute to the world. I know, it's weird. I'll get back to summarizing slashdot items soon, I promise. But for now...
On a whim I emailed The Arcade Fire from their website, asking them to come to DC since the latest date I can find for their current tour puts them in Philly on 1/31. And hey! I got a response back:
we are playing DC in late january.
luv
win.
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! He noticed me! What ever will I wear?!
Wait... back to the hard-hitting investigatory journalism, no matter how many friends I lose or people I leave dead and bloodied along the way. Just one more paragraph, I promise.
The Arcade Fire is playing Asheville, NC on Thursday the 27th and Philadelphia on the 31st. DC is in between -- my guess is a Friday or Saturday night show at the Black Cat. Perhaps I'm overestimating the crowds they're drawing and they'll end up playing some hole in the wall on Sunday night... But the Asheville venue looks Black-Cattish in size. So I'm sticking by my prediction.
And YOU'RE ALL COMING. I personally guarantee this will be a great show.
UPDATE: Black Cat's got a show scheduled for January 29th, so a Friday or Sunday night show sounds like the best bet. It could always be at a different venue, of course...

Let's just hope to God they don't try to wedge them onto the stage at Iota or some other club that's too small for a normal band, let alone an oversized one. Definitely looking forward to this one!
i hear they're playing the Grog and Tankard...;)
ah, the grog. bud ice is the house beer. that kind of sets the tone of the place right there: a self-destructive experience that you'll deeply regret later (although fun enough at the time).
