I remembered the video from St. Patrick’s Day… and went to watch it anyway. They are really good. I am a mzed that they didn’t have a good turnout. My husband would LOVE to have that CD. I may look for it as a Christmas Gift.

We are rolling toward the weekend!!! I hope you have a good one.

You want to talk about disappointing comment turnout, Christmas Tree? Because I’ve been (thus far successfully) holding in a rant on my blog this week about no longer having commenters.

But re: your post. The venue does make all the difference. As a tangent, it’s kind of sad when a band you like crosses a certain threshold of popularity and you know you’ll never again be able to see them in a tiny club. Because really? I’m sure as shit not going to some mid-to-large sized venue to listen to a bunch of asshats sing along to “Chasing Cars”.

That post just made me crave nachos and the desire to not be sober and seated…

Oh wow! I used to play open mike at The Towne Crier back in the day. It’s an interesting place.

Now I want nachos.

I feel sad for the band only having a few people in the audience!

Yeah, it’s depressing. Kind of like the turnout for this post. I’m going to have to come up with something more discussion-worthy tomorrow.

Being seated and sober is never fun. I’m seated and sober right now and it sucks.

I hear ya, sister.

The right (or wrong) venue can make all the difference. For example, when I saw Iron & Wine a while back, it was in a big, noisy, crowded club full of drunks. You know–an environment much better suited to the Young Dubliners. In that case, a table with white napkins would have been preferable for what was a decidedly low-key, mellow show.

The show could have used one or two drunks, but not a whole crowd of them.

The Young Dubliners are a great band. I’d love to see them but they haven’t come to New Hampshire yet. Bummer.

They recently had their all equipment stolen so it’s good to know they got it replaced and are still playing.

They are worth a trip to see if they’re ever in New England.

I love the name Towne Crier. Probably because it sounds very New England- all you need is a Ye Olde in front of it.

It does, but the place actually has a Southwestern feel.
