I've been going to Philly way too much lately

Can I tell you HOW excited I am? I finally get to see Dan Deacon, live.

Check him out, if you're not familliar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oGMR9irekY

I found the show yesterday and got tickets today. Check out what the website says about this neato-night:

Dan Deacon's Round Robin Tour :

THURSDAY OCTOBER 16TH 7:30PM - FEET NIGHT
  • Dan Deacon
  • The Deathset
  • AdventureVideo
  • Hippos
  • Future Island
  • Nuclean Power
  • Pants
  • DJ Dog Dick
  • Blood Baby
  • Height
  • Cex
  • Smartgrowth
  • Double Dagger
Okay this is going to be CRAZY. At each show, all of the night's bands will set up their gear simultaneously "along the perimeter of the room, with the audience in the center." Then the round robin part begins, as each band rolls through one song, then passes the spotlight to the next band with nary a moment's break in between. By the end of it, in exchange for a sore neck, you'll be intimately familiar with the musical goods Baltimore has to offer. There will be two full rounds per night, each band will play a few songs in each round. There will be a brief 'intermission' between rounds during which various performance/comedy episodes will take place. This will happen on both nights.

You should try to make it too, if you can. Its gonna be wild. Work-night-wild. :)
