so did anyone watch it anyway and actually see this Al Madrigal guy? i just bought tix to see Janeane Garofalo in Baltimore next month and apparently he's the opener, but I've never heard of him. since I'm bringing up comedy and going off topic anyway.....does anyone ever remember reading an interview with Craig Finn in which he said that when he first moved to NYC he was thinking of getting into improv comedy? i know i read this somewhere, but i've never heard anything else about it. being a big comedy nerd, it intrigues me. first time i ever saw THS Eugene Mirman opened for them. and they did that thing with Andy Kindler for Letterman last year. anyone know any other Hold Steady comedy connections? Craig mentioned it at something called 'Toast of the tip' (or something like that) a few months ago. He did a couple of songs acoustically by himself - Certain Songs, Magazines and Arms & Hearts I think - and did a bit of talking. The sound quality is dodgy, but it's on Youtube.

WTF!!! I rewound my DVR 3 times to make sure it didn't skip past THS accidentally. Its hard to stay positive when crap like this happens.

So, yeah, okay, I asked Pierre Bernard about it and he says he doesn't recall ever seeing their name on the guestlist, so the mystery continues.

Haha, I missed it, too.
But it still sucks.

Which makes the whole thing weirder.
Anyone have a chance to ask the boys themselves about this?

Can't see giving Janeane Garofal or that toad from Conan any time, nevermind $$.
