We have an outstanding offer from Patrick at Lowbrow Palace just a few blocks from the arena to host an 80s Cure/New Wave party Wednesday night, continue the vibe Thursday before the show and afterwards present two fantastic live bands into the wee hours. My hope is he can put together a flyer and you can post it up for everyone who is coming and make this journey to El Paso even more extraordinary! :)Zen Airlineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880492760973323784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-61838881985401666552013-10-04T12:53:20.074-05:002013-10-04T12:53:20.074-05:00Outstanding, Ed!

Are you in town Wednesday, Craig? Or maybe up for something after the show? I do think a lot of people here would like the opportunity to meet you. Just in scanning da internets I can across two places near Don Haskins. Thursday night Lowbrow Palace is hosting Austin's shoe gaze/psychedelia band Pure X, which if they were playing late enough might make for a great nightcap. From what I could gather they are open Wednesday as well but haven't seen what acts if any are scheduled. The other place that looked interesting is Crawdaddy's Cajun restaurant-bar...lots of cheap drink specials. Really could use someone who lives or at least knows El Paso to share what their experiences are. Craig, would you be interested in at least posting a headline notice to see who might be in for either a Wednesday, pre- or post-concert gathering on Thursday...see if there's enough interest. I remember in Berlin we were able to get a consensus on the Tempodrom's attached bar and that worked great for meeting Cure fans from all over the world. What do you think?

Thatʻs four shows over about 23-24 years. So, Iʻm guessing they will open with Plainsong in El Paso! I love it, of course, it always gives me chills, but I would be really happy to get Open just this one time. Also, I would be thrilled to get a special Pornography encore, but if I could hear Prayers for Rain live just one more time, that would be great too.... Just in case any one is listening, I thought I would share. :-)parallelextinctionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668140021704536384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-65024315286430263882013-10-01T20:52:40.494-05:002013-10-01T20:52:40.494-05:00Tick tick tick....

So a bunch of first for me on this one - first Cure show, first time going to a concert by myself, and first time in El Paso.
