Are coming to Austin again on October 20. I bought tickets tonight.
A question: Should I try to get rid of my tickets to the Houston show, or go to both?
We'd planned on making an IKEA/museum field trip to Houston next month anyway, and the tickets are already paid for. And I sure do like them Pixies. But tickets aren't cheap, and the arena venue in Houston sounds like an echoey hellhole.
Well, we've got a month to decide.
Oh, if you live in Austin, you should check out my friend Dan's excellent and useful showlist at showlistaustin.com. Dan's the guy who tracked down the show rumor and compulsively checked the Pixies site until the tickets went on sale tonight. Then he called everyone to make sure all his friends got a shot at buying tickets. He's like that.
