ithaca play-by-play

okay. so i'm ultra depressed that i cancelled my trip to ithaca...but the storm was just too scary for a 5am return trip tomorrow. so my lovely friends are blessing me with the entire show by cellphone...and i'm gonna talk about it here. so avert your eyes if you don't want to know the setlist 'til it 's done!

listening to the low anthem now...some of the kookier instruments they play make it difficult to understand what song's being played...but i got a few, including "this god damn house" just now. got the chills, even from so far away.

that weather is horrendous!! i hope everyone makes it safe and sound.
can't wait for the updates marissa!

oh goddamn. i think one or more of them is on stage with TLA...i hear some harmonies...

ah, this will be nice. I, too, was supposed to be at Ithaca. It has been a sad day in Myersvilletown, but I am happy everyone arrived safely and now I'm just gonna enjoy the updates! Thanks Marissa.

phew. false alarm, people. no avetts on stage.

i love the low anthem so much, it just kills me that i'm missing them together! at least they didn't do a "cigarettes, whiskey and wild women" group thing...which they very well may at some point since they both do that song live.

ha, that would be like a stab in the heart if they do that together. I guess we can hope for video. At least Gunnar is taking in his camera, so there should be loads of great pics!

and thanks for joining me, ladies. at home with no avetts together. Smiling

oh yes, SO glad for the tall guy with the nice camera!!

ugh, this stupid captcha is driving me nuts. gone are the days of posting repeatedly at a feverish speed! perhaps THAT's what they're trying to prevent, not spam!!

and that's also proof of how long it's been since i've visited this place.

oh boy, we're getting close...time to break out the ben and jerry's!

and let's be realistic...the tissues too.

anyone else off-put by "god$^&* "?

Though it is exciting, marysstikal, to read an enthusiastic play by play. Sounds like a rip roaring time!

No Ben and Jerry's for me, either. Stupid diet. This day has been one big FAIL. Until now!

hahaha...thanks, wifeoftinman. i was feeling guilty for hijacking an entire thread, but i figured people do it for much less than this. Smiling

i'm not put off, but i'm not put off by much, swear-word wise. and in the context of the song, it works...it's this really melancholy relationship song, where the people involved don't seem to care much about anything anymore.

oh i know. my spring-is-coming attitude went right out the window. just for today.

oh oh oh here we go!!!!

oh goodness...i think soph just said there's a drummer there. mike marsh?

1. head full of doubt

I'm glad they're back in good form. I couldn't have asked for a better show Wednesday.

He was at least unobtrusive in Athens, but mostly unnecessary. Opened with Head Full and that was my guess on Weds. I could have made millions!
