Man, if Ybor City doesn't get Killer Parties, I'm afraid no city in the South ever will again.

You won't need your print-out. Its all on a list at the door. You'll just show up and tell them your name and they will wrist band you. Can't hurt to bring your print out receipt, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. See you guys down there! The receipt from Crowdsurge says you have to bring your email receipt and an ID. I'm betting they will let you in with just an ID, but I'd print the email out just to be safe.

Yeah, it's not looking good. If anyone does have a ticket free up you can reach me at 770-547-3217. I think hiwatt is right about there not being any print tickets. But I bet you can find a way to get your name on a list. Have an early dinner at the Earl and talk to a manager. Hell, hang around the tour bus this afternoon, wait for a THS member to come out, and explain your situation. If all else fails, I'm sure someone in line tonight will have purchased one too many tickets, and they'll let you use it if you ask nicely (and pay).

I, too need 1 (one) ticket. I just started dating this girl who I think I'm in love with for the first time in years. She wants to go, and I might not get to see her for a while if she can't. Help a brother out! First, do whatever it takes to get into the show. Second, marry that girl. On another note, it's been awhile since the Deep South has gotten Killer Parties. I'd just like to remind the guys that any trip from up north to Ybor City goes directly through Atlanta, Georgia. We want to depart from our bodies!

So, do we all agree that "New Friend Jesus" is about Tim Tebow?

as shitty as the music industry is, it's just a major bumout that all the preorders aren't ready to go the day (or day before) of release. not many people are buying records anymore, make sure the ones that do buy it are taken care of. Very crappy. I'm still waiting. The merchlackey page says that mine was shipped 1/30. We'll see.

Brooklyn didn't even get a Killer Parties closer? I guess Ybor City's the only place you can count on it now.

This is definitely going to be the best song ever written about the Detroit Lions' uniforms.

I'm going to be eating dinner with my little bro at Fox Bros @ 7:30. I'll be in a brown T-shirt that says "Hold Steady Ybor City" on the back - not hard to miss. Anybody who wants some barbecue is welcome to join. We'll probably stop by Yacht Club after, if there's time before the THS set.

Paul Thompson has a rosier view of Gideon and Holly's future than I do.

That is fucking glorious. It is the most incredibly pointless waste of time I've ever seen, and I've just spent an hour on Google Streetview, visiting Hold Steady songs. If that was you, I salute you. If it was someone else, then go salute 'em for me. I didn't do the Google Maps collection, but I've seen it before, and I too salute its creator.

Sometimes when I'm bored I like to check songs for navigational accuracy. Today, I checked "Southtown Girls," and it holds up pretty well - or least it did when it was written. At that time, it was possible to take Penn Ave up to the Northside, and then take Lowry east to the quarry. But that required crossing the Lowry Avenue Bridge. The bridge was demolished in 2009 and is currently being rebuilt. It's scheduled for re-opening until summer 2012.
Until then, the drug dealers in "Southtown Girls" will be giving poor Bloomington some bad directions.
By the way, "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show has some of the worst navigational references of all time. The did not use Google Maps when writing that song.

Picked up tickets for me and my brother today. Less than a month away! We need to make sure the guys know that the South loves THS too!

So, I went to see Franz play last night in Macon, Georgia. There were about 40 people in the room, and Franz was legitimately surprised to see that many people there. I talked to him after the show, and I told him that THS shows just weren't the same without him on keys. His response was "Tell it to those guys." I didn't want to ask him about details, but it definitely sounded like he'd been forced out of THS and that he wouldn't mind playing with them again.
So, come on guys, work it out and make it happen!

Pretty good show, though there was nothing exceptional about it. I was front and center (I wasn't one of the fighters), and it was a great experience being up there.
The crowd was lame. Nobody wanted to participate, even in the clapping. I don't get that - even if you don't know the words to the song, you can clap along in time with the lead singer. Plus, the crowd started to chant "Roll Tide" after the set ended and before the encore. Finally, there was this one horrible patron who invaded everybody's personal space throughout the show. Not by swinging elbows, not by slinging beers...
...but by farting. Someone was dropping bombs the entire set. Even Galen noticed it - he put his hand to his nose and mouthed "What the fuck?" So, to whomever the culprit is...please vacate the crowded mass of people the next time you need to do that. Thanks.

"You should watch in slow motion, Ron Gant was clearly out." Genius. Wrong is what it is. Even Hrbek knows he pulled Gant off the bag. And this song's missing references to the Metrodome's air conditioning. (Yeah, I'm a Braves fan, and I'm disappointed in that verse.)
