    It's 16 bucks, why not?
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    There are plenty of bands not worth paying 16 bucks for, that money could be spent on a cd, movie, or something.

    I'm seeing them in May in a festival setting. I'm not super excited but whatever, it's just another band to add to the "seen 'em" list.

    My husband and I are huge Presidents fans. Every time we've seen them, which I think is maybe 3-4 times, the crowd is a lot of fun. Their music sounds about the same live as it does in a recording.

    If you like them, even a little bit, you ought to go. You will have a blast!

    I saw a webcast of the first show of their tour a week or two ago. It was great. High energy show, lots of old hits and the new songs sounded really good.

    Well, nevermind, it's sold out.
    I moved to this city 7 months ago and it still blows my mind how you can have 4 great shows a night and they still manage to sell out :(
