i have always dreamed of seeing a decemberists show that ends with the tain! what other older stuff did they play?

i know you saw them at the orpheum, i was there too :P

I THOUGHT you were there, that's why I was wondering about the orpheum bashing

thought you'd be fully prepared for their shittiness.
were we sitting together? i know i was with danielle but i can't remember anything. god that was ages ago.

yes, we were next to each other. you and danielle were laughing through cass mccombs, and there were a bunch of other people i knew sitting near us, and your mom and dave were a row or two behind us. that's how i remember it anyways.
