I highly suggest Chris Thile & Michael Daves' Sleep With One Eye Open album for your future musical purchases.

...I honestly didn't think I'd get to see it until dvd release time. Luckily, my Aunt and Uncle had no idea what to do today, never have a chance to go to the movies, and really wanted to do something that avoided the outdoors.
