Jordan" Subject: Re: Alloy: New Wave Damn Trev, I just went on Saturday night - my friends and I had $10 lawn seats - the whole thing was MARVELOUS! First, it was a gorgeous night - plenty of space on the lawn directly on Baltimore Harbor, nice breeze. Lame opening act promptly disappeared after 30 minutes, and then, Simon and crew came out and performed for TWO SOLID HOURS! It was delightful! I felt bad that we'd only spent $10 on the tickets (and then someone in LA told me they spent $70/each for their tickets, so I ceased to feel bad!) Enjoy! Cheers, Melissa (I'd give up going to see everyone and anyone, though, just to hear Thomas play live once...)
