bad news: the bravery canceled their black cat show on january 31. i was actually looking forward to that concert.

good news: wrens tickets for the black cat show on february 11 are officially on sale at ticketmaster.com.

also: i've got a review of the colin meloy show up at DCist.com. something i didn't say in the review, but wanted to: while other people were calling out their favorite songs, i was trying to restrain myself from calling out "I LOVE YOU AND WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES AND WE CAN NAME THEM WHATEVER RETARDED QUASI-VICTORIAN NAMES YOU PROBABLY WANT TO CALL THEM LIKE ELI AND DORIS MAE THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!" or something like that.

UPDATE: i see now browsing the black cat schedule that the bravery has merely pstponed and is instead playing with ash on march 10! seriously, february and march are already hosting some kickass concerts. maybe this winter won't be so terrible after all.
