SAR is definitly worth that much. You might be able to find it cheeper if welland has an indie store or anything... but if not, you should make sure to pick it up somewhere.
I'm finally dragging myself to buying TGUK's horribly overpriced 4 minute mile tomorrow because i need something for the plane ride back from vacation.

In other news: I ordered my tickets today for the concert. hopefully my friends wont be pissed that i got them balcony seats, but i'm sure looking forward to it.

I'm seeing themt oo, I'm so excited.

And Chris is short, but he's still talented, that is one hell of a way to judge someone.

When I met him, he was the nicest guy in the world, and very humble too.

I am not judging Chris' talent on his height. I just found it to be humorous that when I met him in Detroit, I towered over him and I'm only 6'1. I suppose I always expect all rock stars to be bigger than me, and for the most part, maybe Matt from Alkaline Trio is my height. Everyone else I've met is shorter.

All the celebrities I've ever been around have been short in my experience too. I tower of Chris at 5'7!

i got the cd my favorite track is am i missing, i haven't watch the dvd yet maybe later.. definately don't like the full band as much as the old stuff, overall it is bad, but there are only like 5 or 6 songs i really like so far

another thing is it seems like they are trying to make every song too long, but maybe thats just me

yeah i am going with 5 of my friends we are all skipping our senior homecoming to go... and two are football captains its kinda funny

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 8/11/2003, 10:33 pm

Yeah, I'll be the guy there with the sign that has "Play 'This Ruined Puzzle'" on one side and "We like acoustic songs" on the other. I know they won't play This Ruined Puzzle because it's an acoustic song, and it's a favorite of no one by but me. So yeah, I will be let down.

hey joel are you going to meet up with us too? it's gonna be sweet.

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 8/11/2003, 10:47 pm

Oooh, I just thought of a better sign. "I paid to here Chris sing, not you."

I think I would be beat if I did that....or someone would end up crying or something.

holy shit this dvd is sweet it got lots of live stuff from chis's solo tour.. and got some studio stuff that is cool too.. and the cd is growing on me too... this was definately a good buy for ten bucks... this cd and dvd are probably better tan the unpluggled deal...although you can hear the crowd a little too much in some of the live stuff... but it is still very... i wish i could see chris do a solo show

Henrietta · Post by **Henrietta** » 8/12/2003, 2:28 am

Haha, are you talking about the new one?

On the unplugged cd/dvd you can hear the crowd ALOT.

And you know, they aren't going to just play songs from the new cd. Half that stuff isn't even new. I won't be surprised to hear a good amount of old stuff.

i am watching the new DVD right now, good buy for $10 DVD and CD but some people just shouldnt sing. In "Hands Down" on the DVD it sounds horrible b/c one girl is screaming at the top of her lungs.

Alan I will hold up the same "I paid to see Chris sing, not you" sign at the show b/c if it is anything like the DVD it is going to be painful.

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 8/12/2003, 10:04 am

I don't know why Chris thinks it's appropriate for the crowd to sing every song. I mean, it's nice and all that your fans know all the words to all the songs, but your fans also paid to hear you sing it, not the annoying 13 year old girl who thinks she's lived a rough life because she can't get a boyfriend yet.

Real fans of the music should know all the words to your songs. That's a given. But the fact of the matter is, the fans are still there to hear you sing the songs. Turning the microphone to the crowd once or twice a show is cool. It shows that you like the fans or whatever. But turning the mic to the crowd during every song just isn't right. If you want me to sing your songs, you give me a share of the money you received for playing this show. I feel used when I pay $30 a ticket and I rarely get to hear the lead singer sing.

And now you know why I don't like 4AM anymore.

I like singing along

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 8/12/2003, 10:09 am

Yeah, singing along to some songs is nice, but it's annoying when the little girl next to you does more singing that Chris does. I pay for Chris to sing, I expect Chris to sing. It's that simple. I didn't pay $30 to hear a choir of emo kids screaming as loud as they can just to feel special. You can sing along to the songs, that's perectly fine. I sang every word to every Koufax song, and you know that. But the thing is, Rob Suchan sang every word to the songs too. Chris doesn't do that, which is annoying. The end.
