The National: finally playing D.C. on March 15. Huzzahs and hoorays all around. I'm getting back into this "going to a show" thing, and there are some choice ones imminent.

In other show news, Ted Leo is sold out almost two month in advance. I have no tickets for that show, but I do have tickets for the very unsold out Hold Steady song, where I'm praying they sell temporary tattoos that say "Damn right he'll rise again".
