Beirut

Herbst Theatre in SF

I've long been looking for this sound. We're all looking for that music that would play our funeral march. I just wish these guys aren't booked for my big day :) If you couldn't get enough of Rufus Wainwright, and love the sound of droning horns, well me too. "http://www.beirutband.com":http://www.beirutband.com **New York Magazine:** Zach Condon’s first show in New York, this May at the Knitting Factory, was a complete disaster. The 20-year-old had pulled together the three musicians for his band, Beirut, only weeks before. His eBay ukulele would not stay in tune. He fumbled with his trumpet and flashed a sheepish smile during the long breaks between songs. His banter was self-conscious (“I’m sorry, this ukulele is terrible … ”). His voice shook.

Ah, great. It was one of those Craigslist moments for me, when the internet actually works. The lady was super nice and honest about it. I felt so lucky that after about 4 glasses of wine at the lobby I was tempted to give my ticket away to some lonely person outside fishing for an extra ticket. I almost did it, until I realized I wasn't in a good state to be making reckless decisions :|

Just 'cause the big day has passed doesn't mean it's over. Follow up conversations keep the rumor mill spinning. Got stories to tell?

I got tickets off craigslist too for last nights (Tue) show! That show was beautiful, the crowd, the place, and of course Beirut. Fantastic.

Wow, about an hour before the Tuesday show (just now) I got a call from a very nice lady who found my ad on Craigslist and wants to sell me her extra ticket at face value. Amazing. I'm going.

Ops! I didn't get tickets in time, they're all sold out. Does anyone have two tickets for either night that they might like to sell?
