Wow, how did I miss that? I had received an email about the Pabst show, and I guess when I looked down the list and found one WI date I stopped looking. Madison would certainly be much handier than Milwaukee, as much as I prefer the Pabst.

 

:)

 

how is that place in Madison? GA?

No. It's the Overture Center for the Arts, probably the fanciest place to see a concert in Madison. It sounds great, but it's very opera house-y. Wilco played there last fall. There are actually a few different venues within the Overture Center, though, and I'm not sure which one they'd be playing.

 

Maybe by "Overture Theater" they mean the Capitol Theater?

Great to see them hitting it relatively big over there. I saw them tour these songs over here, must be near two years ago now. Little arts centre in my town. I really hope they win tonight!

I'm not a huge fan of Glen and the Frames, but I was certainly rooting for them over the Disney pap. He made his speech and the cut Marketa off with the hurry up music. When they came back Jon Stewart brought her back and she made a very lovely speech.

Goddamn, that was some moving moments tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That was my favorite Oscar moment, maybe ever! I'm so happy they won.

 

Wow, they're playing the Chicago Theater! I saw them last summer at the Old Town School in Chicago, capacity 350 or so. They are really moving up. Glad I got to see them in such an intimate venue. :)

Great stuff. Jon Stewart is a class act.

 

I love the album and glad to see them so well-received. Hell, the Chicago Theatre may be too small now.

 

eh... do you honestly think that thousands of people are gonna be all "OMG I SHOULD REALLY GO SEE THEM" after seeing them on the Oscars?

 

for one apparently last night was one of the worst watched Oscars ever.

 

i wish that all the hype and buzz over Once would translate into more interest in the Frames in the US too, but i have a feeling it'll be a fairly modest bump.

true, it's a start ;)

 

if tickets weren't going onsale this coming Saturday for most of the shows, i think it'd probably have more of an impact... guess we'll see

 

they definitely overbooked many of the venues in preparation for them winning an Oscar methinks :)
