    Ballycotton, Ireland. It was an announced show. They never "sold" tickets. I just pestered the poor guys on facebook. I'll put up some videos on youtube soon. I sat 5 feet away from Glen the whole time. He even mentioned his "friend" who dared him to write a sad song on the uke. I wonder who that was. :lol:

    First lucky fans who reply may be able to attend - bring a friend you get a pair of tickets (2 tickets).

    -If you can't make it to NYC, the event will also be webcast at CBS.com or Vevo.com, live that night.
    -We do have a limited number of spots for folks from Frames message board and our usual cast of repeat offenders :)

    Ah thanks. I didn't win. Another guy did(and he cheated) but anyways. I've seen em 35 times and I've had beers with ed. i can't complain. I've had more than my fair share.
    Now. How about this Europe announcement tomorrow? Hehe

    Really, someone cheated? That sucks, especially if people know they cheated! Wishing you much great news in the Europe announcement!

    You have no idea how good:)

    Was I mistaken in thinking this release was a 10" vinyl?

    The one I saw today was 12"

    The Letterman show is great. It's weird to see Glen sing Falling Slowly by himself. He almost always does that song as a duet.
