Dead Can Dance here we come!

[kambriel]

Got our Dead Can Dance tickets! I've been relishing their hypnotic music and Lisa's heart-penetrating vocals since the eighties, but this will be my first time to hear that majestic sound live... ~swoon~

We purchased the tickets in person at the theatre, so we were able to get *opera box* seats, and saved almost $20 for not having to pay Ticketmaster "convenience" charges... instead we happily spent that on lots of freshly home-made Sicilian pizza and calzones at Galleria Umberto in the north end (for non-locals, the north end is Boston's Italian neighborhood which is like a slice of Europe... it's also the oldest little Italy in the US and a great place to feel like you've entered a true Italian neighborhood).

I'm so happy about the box seats because there's no blocked views or feelings of being squished in by the crowd... Now I just need to go on the prowl for a pair of antique art nouveau opera glasses :)

jack just got mezzanine tickets for us...yay! we'll see you there!!!

It will be great to see you there and be surrounded by even more beauty. :)

Mezzanine is exactly where I was aiming for if the box seats didn't work out since that's usually where you get the most ideal sound in a theatre...

I can't wait!

Im definitely going to have to get to one of these DCD shows.

I'm not sure which is closer to you, but they're going to play both Chicago and Toronto, so one of those should work :)

I just went to the post office and shipped you a couple of boxes. So, expect them in a few days. =)

Oh, thank you so much ~ I will let you know when they arrive!

I actually found a pair of art nouveau opera glasses a while ago that were unbelieveable, but also unbelievably priced :( Don't know if I'll ever find anything quite like those again...

It is nice living in an area where most music acts come through on tours. For many years I lived in a place where that wasn't the case. It would be quite a trip for you, but they are playing places like Chicago which might be feasible?:

I've never seen them live before either, I'm very excited! Somehow we ended up with tickets right up at the front, the fifth row I believe. Sonically speaking that might be a little too close, but we'll certainly be able to see everything!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

It's great that you got such close seats... you got them the first day they went on sale right? I'm further back so I'll just see the shape of a little blond-headed Lisa on stage, but that's o.k., my ears will be wide open! It will be fun ~ maybe we should think about getting together for a nice dinner before hand, or after...

How wonderful for you both! I hope you are able to find beautiful opera glasses. I will be seeing them in Toronto on Oct 1.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

It's great that they're coming to Toronto as well ~ that saves you from needing to make a long drive :)

I already found exquisite art nouveau silver opera glasses with a very mysterious look to them about a month ago, but they were going for more $ that I was in the mood to spend, and I behaved. Now I wish I would have gone for it anyway since I had a dream where I had them with me. I doubt I'll ever see anything quite like them again...

Isn't that the way it always is. I have learned that if I like something - I should just buy it.
