Good Lord

Will the spate of spring shows never end?! Only a little more than a week ago I posted the list of tickets we already had, and mentioned that tickets for the Presidents of the USA were going to be purchased once they went on sale. Well, that's been taken care of and now two new shows, both in May, have sprung up in their place. It's like an evil snake out of mythology that you can never kill, it just keeps coming back with more heads than you chopped off.

The two new shows, which we must wait until Feb 18 to buy the tickets for, are Andrew Bird, upstairs in Paradiso on May 5 and 6 (but we're only going one night. I mean, good god, we may as well move into Paradiso for the month of May as it is), and dear Belle & Sebastian, also in Paradiso, on May 8. That is now 5 concerts in May. At least we'll finally get some real use out of the month-long membership that you have to buy for concerts at places like Paradiso and Melkweg.

We will finally actually go to a gig starting this Friday: Caesar in Haarlem at the Patronaat. Nice to start off with a band I know are good live. Hopefully they set a good precedent for the next 4 months.
