| Shoot, just remembered a Kelley Deal story as well. Earlier, when Makers and I showed up, Kelley came out and was going into a cab, and I mistakenly said hi to her as Kim, but she corrected me, and I felt like an ass. |

| Haha. Then I dodged a bullet there. I said hi to Kim too, but hell if I'd normally be able to tell the difference (especially with them not standing side by side) ... luckily I had it right. Then again, she came out of a car with Frank, it seemed like a safe guess. |

Dammit, how many times have I said tonight I was going to bed? Just can't wind down, one of those days ...
Okay, I might not really go to bed, but I promise not to post :) |

I don't want y'all to hate me because this was THE EXPERIENCE, but I live not too far from the Fine Line and have been sleeping in my car taking shifts with my boyfriend yesterday and today. There was a lot going on yesterday and I asked a security looking guy "what's up?" He said, "The band is sound checking";so I said "which band?" Straight up he said "The Pixies" I asked if I could poke my head in, in between very shameless flirting, and after awhile he said "Yeah,but you're my girlfriend, okay?" So, I got to watch them rehearse for about 15 minutes before a VERY angry guy asked how the hell I got in there; so I quietly left. But I think my boyfriend is considering going in drag, as my breasts have gotten me to see Ween,Squirrel Nut Zippers, Marilyn Manson, and Perry Farrell; all backstage. Enjoy Minnesotans- They're here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| ARRGGGHHH, if i'd known about this, I would have been there trying to hear whatever i could, you lucky people getting to somewhat hear the soundchecks. Then again its a hour and a half drive there but still it would have been worth it. |

You mean the Pixies are actual human beings? The way people are apparently fawning over them one might think they were otherwordly beings sent down to Minnesota from God. Don't mean to spoil anyone's fun (after all I'm reading this thread because I'm intrigued too), but you all might seriously benefit from some exposure to the reality check that is the independent music scene (as in non-corporate, not "indie rock"). One of the truly great things about the independent scene is that there are no barricades, bodyguards, or backstage passes between the fans and musicians. If you like someone's music, you're free to walk right up and talk to them after their set (they usually love the attention!) and if you don't, you're free to throw your beer at them. I mean, when I saw The Martinis at EJ's in 1996 I could have spoken to Joey Santiago all I wanted, but it's not like I was following him around attempting to kiss his ass. Granted, this is quite a bit different and everybody's CRAZY excited, but you know..... |

I think thats a little elitist of you to say. You do realize that anyone here could have(and probably has) chatted with Frank and Kim at nearly any Breeders or FB show in the last 5+ years.
BTW, Indie rock is seeing the band and then buying thier CD from the merch table that the band is running after the show 
I'm not even sure how the Pixies qualify as corporate. They dont even *have* a label anymore...

Well, it's good to know that they're rehearsing Trompe songs. Trompe is the only album from which Frank and the Catholics haven't played any songs live. I was afraid he had neglected it. However, "Planet" and "U-mass" would not be my first choices.

| Heart attack time, I didn't want to look at the news link because I thought somehow Dave had managed to get a hold of tonights setlist early. I want to know some of what theyll be playing but not all. Crisis averted :) |
