| I just went to the Middle East and got 4 tickets for Saturday's show, May 31st. However, I actually can't be there on Saturday. What I would like to do is swap these tickets for tickets to BOTH Thursday and Friday. If anyone has tix to Thus or Fri and doesn't mind going on Sat, or if anyone has an extra ticket to Thurs or Fri and would like to go Saturday as well, (and live in the Boston/Cambridge area) respond back and let's make a deal. |

WHY DOESN'T HE ADD A SHOW AT A BIGGER VENUE?
I was on the fucking bus today from Boston to Vermont and by the time I found out...sold out again. Gawd. |

| Yep Ramona, I found this out and it was an even bigger tease. I called all my hardcore Frank Black friends up and asked if they were free on the 31st cause Frank added another show! After all that arranging, it turned out to be sold out again. |

I guess the moral is "tickets first - calls later". I feel your pain.  |

| The pain will increase when stories filter out about this show and how Frank stayed after and chatted up and posed for pictures. |

| To Ramona and Itchload: You guys are in the Boston area, right? Well, I still haven't got any responses about swapping tickets with me. As I said in an earlier post, I have 4 tickets to Saturday's show, but can't go. I live right up the street from the Middle East and want to try to swap Sat tix for tix to both Thursday and Friday. If it's Saturday morning and I'm still holding on to some tickets, would either of you take them off my hands? |

I definitely will. Name your price. I'm planning on going there each day to scrum for tickets anyhow. I only live 5 minutes away.
Does anyone know if he's playing the M.E. upstairs or the restaurant? I'm pretty sure the upstairs can fit a lot more than 50 people. If he's playing the restaurant we can just stand outside and watch.

Mr. Grieves!
I would be so thrilled to have 1 or 2 of the tickets - for whatever you feel you want to charge for them. You can email me through the forum, or I will send you a message when I am back to work on Wednesday. Thanks so much for the thought. Very generous of you - I'm sorry I don't have other tickets to swap. I just wasn't speedy enough! |

It's not the Middle East upstairs OR the resturant - it's the club called Zuzu which is next door and also owned by the Middle East folks. I think you could also basically see through the windows, or at the very least HEAR the show. The club is super small. |

He'll be playing right next to the windows, but they have these big red curtains that they can draw so you can't see.
Athiest 4 Catholics has also expressed an interest in the tickets. So, at least I know I won't be eating them. My plan is to show up on Thursday with two tickets loking to swap them with someone for a ticket for that night. I plan to do the same thing on Friday. Hopefully, this will get me in. I figure if someone has an extra ticket, they would prefer another ticket to Sat's show as opposed to just $$.
If you guys will be outside of the show on Thursday, then we can talk then. Also, I would be looking for anything more than I paid for them, $15. |

Hey Itchload and Ramona,
I'll be there on Thursday and Friday. If Grieves can't make a trade and we have to fight for tix, then I'll let you guys take them on Thursday and I'll wait to see what happens on Friday. I actually hope he can make the trade because it sucks more for him to have tix and not go than for me to not get in on a long shot.
If Grieves does make the trade, do you want to hang out outside the restaurant in awkward slience while we strain to hear Frank play? I'm interested in meeting you guys anyhow - it could be fun!
BTW - anyone know what time it starts?

The tickets to Saturday's show say "10:30 PM doors * Some pre-show dinner reservations available."
How frustrating is it to have these tickets and not be able to go? |

| I would love to go to ANY of the nights to see Frank Black, I've just moved here from New Zealand, and I've always loved the Pixies and Frank Blacks solo work, so if anyone has a spare ticket (or two so my wife can come too), then please email me, and I'll call you back and buy a ticket on the spot. How much were they anyway? |

Seriously, was this totally set up so personal friends of the Middle East could have a Frank Black show (well, three) all to themselves. By the time I sped to the Middle East last week, both nights were sold out, and of course the third went before I could get there as well. Does *anyone* in the area have one extra ticket to sell for Fri or Sat?Anyone? I know this is a long shot as it seems that the hardcore FB'ers out there got shut out as well. If anyone has an extra to sell, please email me at Adamwhite13@earthlink.net or call 781 391-3564. thank you thank you thank you....

| This is Cambridge, Massachussetts, right? Not the Cambridge in England. And Zipperrock, I know how you feel. I've missed out on so many gigs because I'm only sixteen (not Frank Black ones though). At least Frank is a pleasant enough bloke to let me come to the London gig in October |
