what's a girl to do?

i just got word that THE WHITE STRIPES will be playing an intimate show at the cannery ballroom in nashville this friday, may 18. friday also happens to be the day that bright eyes is playing at the fox theatre here in town. this presents a HUGE problem for me.




on one side, the white stripes are one of my all-time favorite bands and i have yet to see them perform live. my music midtown opportunity two years ago was destroyed by a very soggy bonnaroo. i know they are playing the roo this year, but i'm still not 100% sure i'm gonna be able to make the trek to manchester this year. i just feel that to see the stripes in a venue like the cannery ballroom is a once in a lifetime thing.

and then on the other, there's bright eyes... oh that conor. he is without a doubt, completely and utterly brilliant. i practically worship everything he's ever done. i'm talking even back to his commander venus days. i've had the pleasure of seeing him live and he's just as spectacular. it's hard to imagine how incredible he will sound at the fox, too. so what do i do?????

if you're interested in the white stripes show, tickets are going on sale tomorrow exclusively through their site HERE. maybe i'll see you there or maybe i won't.

Why are amazing shows always on the same day? I think there's some twisted conspiracy going on . . .

There is so much going on that night, it's almost too much to think about.

I'm not a fan of the White Stripes whatsoever. They scare me.

I haven't been as big of a fan since they became huge and play really big venues. There was something about them playing the small room at Emo's in Austin that was pretty rad . . .

Ah, White Stripes will come here if/when they tour. I wouldn't sweat that one too much. The only problem will be if they play some awful outdoor venue again, in which case I will skip them again.

Then again, I'll be at Bonnaroo anyway...
