Tom Waits!

[realexplodingcat]

Assuming the magic elves responsible for crafting and transmitting the tickets to my mailbox are not three sheets to the wind in Copenhagen, the wife and I will have an evening with Tom Waits in Asheville. August 2.

!!!

I'm running out of must-see music acts. What's left? It just might be time to rent a suite of rooms and hang myself from the balcony irons after this show.

(of course I know there are some Waits haters out there who'd rather hang themselves than listen to him. but I thank you for not being in front of me in the ticketmaster queue. i'm pretty sure this show sold out in less than 30 minutes)

Had no idea Tom Waits was touring and am insanely jealous! Hope you guys have a great time :)

It seemed pretty under the radar. I think the shows were only announced maybe one or two weeks ago, a lot of tickets went on sale today, and the shows start the 1st of August. And he's only playing about dozen or less places, almost none of which are big cities.

I found out through a Tom Waits live journal community. It's full of the kinds of people who slobber over Waits news and probably have been checking for his concert info on a daily basis since the internet was invented.
