Yeah, that'd be cool. Meeting for dinner/drinks, that is. I asked Jen to research what's in the area. Are you familiar enough with it to have any suggestions? The only other time I was there was for Massive Attack in 2006. My license was suspended at the time due to a DUI incurred earlier in the year so I drove up with my friend Matt. We went to Ono's Hawaiian BBQ, which was awesome, especially the macaroni salad, which has like 1,000 calories in a regular serving by itself. Don't really think that's a nice enough option, especially with the lack of alcohol, but damn does it bring back good memories.
Does anybody have room for one more in their ride? I live on the north side of town, but would be willing to meet anywhere in the valley.

Opening night of the Phoenix tour only sold around 1,200 tickets so far in Vancouver in 2 days. 2,800 set theater.
Bad Example-KOL was/is a weak headlinerThe one that I have in mind is the Arcade Fire.
I also would like to re-word my last statement a bit.. I meant that Coachella is willing to prop bands up as headliners before there is consensus that they are headliner material.
Kings of Leon might be another example, no?
The new single "Entertainment" is extremely boring
Gotta admit....
Love their songs, love their albums... I even love their acoustic sets...
Go watch them live on YouTube and see how much this band sucks live.
I don't mind much, because I plan on singing with the crowd the whole time, but truly, they suck live.
Great article of Phoenix's new album and Coachella of course:
