Looks like they will be in Portland on September 21.

Going to see Muse in Portland on December 13th.

Good band who I imagine will put on a fantastic show.

Yes. I have no reason not to believe you.

But I will go ahead and assume that you attend your own concerts with regularity.

Oh man, I missed Between the Wheels and The Camera Eye. That makes me sad.

Though I suppose I could be in Epignosis's shoes and not have made it to a show during this tour.

Colin was hilarious and did some fun audience-participation stuff, and they had this whole act for the Mariner's Revenge Song involving their kids carrying a whale onstage. Love their music and it was a really fun performance overall. The opening band, Calexico, was super enjoyable as well, I hadn't known anything about them but was impressed.

I just missed them. I just arrived back in town last night.

But that's great to hear they played a fantastic show. I'm not as familiar as some folks around here with their music, but I would have liked to see them.

let's just say it was an amazing sensory and emotional experience.

They're going to be in Eugene this summer too (June 3rd I think).

Guess I will have to go to the show.
