Mixed reactions. one is..are you fucking kidding me? If this wasnt back to back I would go to both, but I already have my albany tickets and have made plans and all. I'd love to see them at IP but fuck...its gonna be nice to see them back as a bar band baby.
I am guessing these werent announced together because ..well who the fuck would go to Albany then,

Albany -- but after the train & the ticket & the hotel, I'm not really in the mood to pony up $25 (!) for a late-breaking Monday night Irving Plaza gig the night immediately before. I can't remember the last time I saw a show at IP.

so is IP a bad venue or is the economy real bad or what? When I see bible and breukelen not sure if they'll hit a show in NYC I have to wonder what's going on.

I guess its this...I have made plans to be in Albany the next night. Small show...400 people MAX..opening night of the tour...and now...well..thats changed. So maybe I'll go to IP, but maybe not. It has nothing to do with the venue or the economy, more to do with how I want to feel that night i see them. So, we shall see what transpires. But damn..Valentines is a nice little grungy place.

Pretty much what Bible said -- I very happily made plans for a very different experience the following night, one I was really looking forward to. I can't seem to get that excited about suddenly tacking on a totally different show immediately beforehand, and one that doesn't have the qualities I was most happy about. re: economy -- I was laid off recently, which for sure is a real drag, but not a factor in deciding on $25 (more like $35 after fees, I am sure) in addition to the money I've already spent. I dunno. I've had a real busy couple years with THS. Maybe I don't need to see show after show anymore.
