I know we have a lot of TMBG fans on the boards and just thought I’d let the BADs know that they’re playing at **Usual** in San Jose this coming Tuesday.

Tickets are $15 and still available. The Usual is 21+

yeah, i’ve heard! well, in cleveland in october, anyway! i hope they’ll still play… if not, it’s understandable.

anyway, i’ve been waiting to see them for about a year and a half (in pittsburgh, anyway, but i’ll be moving back to ohio next week)

I saw they were supposed to be in Albuquerque on the 24th, but that was before Tuesday and I’d assumed the tour would be cancelled. However, [their website](http://www.theymightbegiants.com/) says that although they’ve cancelled shows from the 12th through the 16th, they’re heading out by car to complete the rest of the tour.

Looks like they’re troupers and like Mr. Legend and I might get the chance to see them this year after all. Thanks for the info, Sue!

But Ticketmaster lists the Albuquerque show as cancelled. I’m sorry if I got any other New Mexicans’ hopes up.

Just a bump for those who may not have seen it on the weekend.

I’m trying to drag Anton Nym there tonight…I wonder if he’ll humor me?

Aw crap, wish I would’ve seen this sooner. I’ll try to make it, but it’s doubtful.  
On a similar note, Midnight Oil’s playing next month at the Fillmore, if anyone’s interested.
