I'll be leaving Montreal Wednesday morning, on my way to Ottawa... I could just drive another 4 and a half hours past Ottawa and be in TO for the show.

Pluses:
Avett Brothers live (really into their album right now)


Minuses:
10 extra hours of driving
$50 more for gas
$100 for a hotel
$20 for ticket
gotta getup early and head right back to Ottawa in the AM...


It's kind of ridiculous logistically and financially on one hand. But then on the other, it is probably the closest I will be to one of their shows for quite some time.

You really live in the middle of nowhere, I guess?

They do put on a really, really good live show, but man 10 extra hours of driving? I don't think I'd do that for anyone.

If I was Radcliffe I'd say you should only go to Toronto if you are driving a truck bomb capable of leveling the whole city...But since I'm not, I'll say that those are some mighty steep logistics but why the fuck not if you've got the time and/or inclination. You only come this way once.

What Yail said. I've never seen them, but have heard great things and if I had the money and time there'd be no question that I'd be there.

I just bought tickets for this tour. I hope they're selling the new album on vinyl at the merch table.

They put on one hell of a show but your talking about some serious money and effort.
