OK. I've booked tickets to the LA show. Mental.

Suppose I'd better look into flights or something!

Bought tickets for New York. I'm in Ohio. I'm quite looking forward to it.

Got my NY tix as well..Ticketmaster on a Blackberry is a PITA but it worked eventually...thanks for the suggestion, AyannaD!

Yeah..T5 is a small club as well, with balconies overlooking the stage. Saw White Lies there last month and fell in love with the place...

Plus Fleet Foxes are playing Brooklyn the day before, so what a weekend!

Well, I've been mega-crazy-busy and away from the web for a while, but it's nice to come back and report that I now have my tix to the ATL show, my hotel booked, AND...I have at last managed to get Mr. Chrissie to accompany me! It'll be his first Elbow gig, 'cause every other time I've gone to see them, he has gallantly stayed at home with the kid/dogs so I could go out of town. This time, we will find a way for him to get there too. I am soooo excited! Also glad to see that a lot of y'all are headed to stops on the North American leg of the tour - wooohooo!

working on the entire east coast trifecta at the moment, i think it'll be feasible! a lot of crashing on couches and such to save costs from train rides, but i'm thinking it's lesser than the price equivalent of seeing them once across the ocean.

sorry, there are going to be more us dates? i thought elbow was big now

My understanding is that they want to keep the international touring relatively low in order to maximise time at home with kids and family etc.

This is bittersweet for me - I'm moving to America in October so I'll miss them by three weeks. Would love to see them playing in the US, will have to hang on till they come back again....

It's good to see so many go to the US shows. I hope everyone who wanted tickets were able to get them. I may end up with a spare to the Boston show because my friend may end up bailing because she doesn't know the band, and she hates going to standing gigs.

My ticket for the DC gig arrived this week. Three months! That's a bloody long time...

According to an e-mail I got this morning from the 9:30 Club, Glasser will be opening for Elbow in September.

Myspace has a couple of songs up. A really interesting sound.

Atlantis, Center Stage, booked the day the tix went on sale! I cannot wait!!!

Update: I may actually need to back out of seeing the Elboys in Atlanta, due to possible scheduling issues. We were planning to have my mum and dad come to stay with my daughter for a couple of days so Mr Chrissie and I could make the trip up for the show. But that might not happen now, as my folks have another event that they may have to attend that same week. Without them, the plan's sunk! So we'll see how it goes. If it doesn't happen I'll be most unhappy, to say the least, BUT I did get to see them twice already this year in grand fashion, so I really can't complain too much. Still, I'm hoping for the best! *crossingfingers*
