If you want things signed, do it after the first show. You might have to leave before the set ends. It's roughly an $8-9 cab ride from PCY to Union Station. If you want to Metro, allow 45 minutes to get there. Take the yellow line to Gallery Place and transfer to the red line in the direction of Glenmont. Much quicker this way.

Someone had put a Moxy setlist up for the bid (from Portland, I believe)!!!!!!!!! Maybe it's just me, but I can see certain things being put up for the bid, such as a duped indie tape, etc., that even if I would never bid on it on principal might make sense that someone's trying to make a dishonest dollar. But a setlist??????? I can't believe someone would do this. And I'm not really sure why it shocks.dismays me so much but it did. I guess I feel like if you have to buy the setlist, then it's not worth much. It's being at the show and winning the mad scramble, I guess (of course our only setlist came because awesome guys we were with at the Bottom Line grabbed it and gave it to FruPrincess Dana, and my only autograph-seeking moment came when I got it signed for her ... it will be prominently displayed on the Darlington Darling wall in our new house).

(Sorry, Jian. Please believe me; I am kidding, and I will stop now. I really do like your songs.) Seriously - I'm a little surprised at the choice of IWHO for the first single also, because it is such an "individual"-sounding song. Enough people have brought up the pros and cons and relative relevance of pigeonholing; I won't go into that. But IMO, Half As Much would have made more sense as the first single because it's the song on this album that most showcases the whole band, rather than featuring just one "lead." But then again, I'm sure the powers that be know what they're doing. At least if the next single has another lad singing lead, new listeners will certainly not be saying, "Oh, all their songs sound alike."
