Friday Photo: Lisztomania

There were definitely screaming crowds last night but oddly much more men than women. Phoenix was good. Not great, but at least the sound was awesome. I couldn't see much of anything, which is apparent from these photos taken from above my head. :P Thankfully we were able to move closer to the stage mid-way through so I could at least make out their faces. Tsk, tsk to Warfield for overselling the general admission floor.

"Monkey Gone to Heaven" in November

The fabulous thing about the internet other than porn (as-if!), is how easy it is to find secret presale codes for concerts. After posting a Facebook meme on "My life according to the Pixies", Michele emailed that the Pixies were coming to Fox Theater in Oakland. I checked the day before the presale started and found two blog posts with codes that didn't seem very legit. But sure enough, several hours after the sale began, the top result on Google had the correct presale code. Awesome.

General admission for the Sunday show was already sold out but I was able to score tickets for Monday, November 9th. The Pixies plan to play their entire Doolittle album in the set. OMFG!! It's been so long since I've seen an old band  that I luuuurve. It's going to be super fab especially since some of my favorite girlfriends will be there too.

Dance. Dance. Dance.
