uhm
the wrens are playing the norris university center in evanston in february.
uh.
pause to reflect on the stupid-headedness of this. 1) there are approximately 2 billion awesome music venues in chicago proper. 2) northwestern undergraduates, the main chunk of the people who will actually be attending this concert, seeing as the rest of evanston is made up of retirees and no one from chicago will want to take the el for 30 minutes up to evanston in fricking february, do not know how to have fun. 3) the closest approximation to the norris center is newcomb hall at uva, or any other student center at any other university ever - that is, there is a. a food court b. a bank c. a post office d. a bookstore e. that is all (ok, i am exaggerating, there is probably a room around there somewhere large enough to accommodate a concert, but still).
as much as i love the wrens, i do not think i will choose to pay money to watch them play next to the sbarro stand.

They played Newcomb at UVa, I think. Maybe they liked it.
they only played newcomb cause of the scheduling problem with the satellite ballroom. plus newcomb has a ballroom.
Yes yes. They had to play Newcomb because I suck. And it sucked. So terribly. I got multiple hate mails from fellow Wrens lovers because of the terrible-ness of it. Mainly the sound. It was BAD. So I'd say don't go if there's any chance of it being similar in any way. Also--word on the street is that the new album has been pushed back from this spring to next fall but expect a tour then.
Hey, c'mon. Give that band a break. The last time they played here (indoors) they played at the Logan Square Auditorium. There can't be a worse place to see a band then that.
