(I'd offer more commentary, but I'm too busy dancing and freaking out about the show -- it's going to be a long four months people...)

Here's a reminder of how awesome Stephin Merritt was last time they were in Seattle. Is anyone going to Deadhead them and see them in more than one city?

Stella @ 1, Town Hall is at 8th and Seneca.
It's a cool intimate venue but you kinda feel like you're sitting on church pews...

It doesn't just feel like you're sitting in church pews, you ARE sitting in church pews; the building used to be a church.

2nd row center for the second New York show. Sucks you could only buy for one show during the pre-sale. Ah well...excitement abounds.
I can just picture igBaby and igDana dancing in the aisle and singing along to "Nothing Matters When We're Dancing."
Or Daddy singing a slightly revised song, "I'm The Luckiest Guy on Fremont's South Side."

Hehe. I'm pretty sure baby's first favorite Magnetic Fields song will be "Papa Was a Rodeo" -- though "Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits" might pull a close second.

I found out last night that all the Seattle presale tickets were gone by 10a Seattle time... perhaps that's what happened in SF? We, in Seattle, didn't have a presale code... it was just a log in process using your fanclub log in.
