Meh.
Oh yeahhhh! Andrew Bird is back in his hometown! I hope the weather cooperates! Could be a special show with a lots of guest musicians/singers. There is a new video on youtube-andrewbirdmusic shot at the Hideout – perfect timing. MCA show/performnace will be ethereal. I hope he still can find find time to play at 1st Pres.
Definitely super excited about the show! I think I read somewhere that there are supposed to be special guests, too. Hoping he does the holiday shows at the church, as well. I’m definitely going to MCA shows, but would miss the Gezellegheid shows if he skips them this year.
