according to the review I read, the place wasn't very full.
That is true! You shoulda come. Scola was there!
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Believe me, I'm kicking myself that I didn't. I was so sure they were going to sell out - Boston's hipster music cred just took a big hit for me.
I did see them years ago - I think it was in Portland, ME and they opened for somebody, but it might have been Boston. They weren't the main band, I know that. Really great then, but I didn't know enough about them to appreciate them at the time.

The Roxy is pretty huge. I thought from the start that the room was too big for them.

Yes, at the Orpheum. Thank you, that was bugging me.
I guess I haven't been to the Roxy in a while - I never thought it was that big a place. I think the only time I was there was when I saw Tricky.

The Chicago House of Blues website is currently advertising tonight's Cobra Starship show as "Christian Rock".
I find this endlessly amusing.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I find this highly amusing. I think Gabe would also find this amusing. You should tell him!

They had that for the show I went to on Sunday at Cleveland HOB!
Good luck finding Gabe to tell him, though. He said he was celebrating his birthday all week, so he's probably still drunk.

Seriously, how did they get Christian Rock? Is HOB screwing with the fans, or is CS screwing with the HOB? Has someone listened to "Church of Hot Addiction" one too many times? (Of course, LiveNation's page for CS has an old (and inaccurate!) picture of the group, so.)

From reports, drunk is his default state. Drunk & stealth-huggy.

If I see some of my friends before the show who have Meet & Greet tickets, I will ask them to pass it on. Or I suppose I could tell Tom Conrad the next time I see him.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I find this endlessly amusing.
Yeah, me too. The levels of hilarity are vast.
It's okay, Gabe. You may be fronting a Christian Rock band, but you're still my second favorite musical Jewish person.
