After hearing those terrible stories about one of her previous tours here, I'm not sure whether to get tickets or not :\

I haven't seen her myself, but how expensive are they? From what I understand it's a bit like Ryan, on good nights it's REALLY good, but bad nights are really bad. If they aren't too much I'd give it a shot.

I couldn't find any info on ticket prices.
I've already spent way too much money on concerts though, so I'm going to pass on Chan and go see Andrew Bird again instead :D

i saw this in the local street press.

i'm excited.

i don't really mind if she's volatile (ha). i've seen her before and she was wonderful, though the sound was a bit rubbish from where i was.

i love cat power. yay!!
