I've been working to find out some information on what the set-up for the venue is going to be for Sunday night and I heard from Darren Hill today that it's going to be general admission (no assigned seats) and the seating will be at tables, rather than in rows. The doors open at 7pm. What I don't know: What time the box office opens on Sunday for tickets to be picked up. That's a pretty key piece of the puzzle in terms of planning your arrival at the event. And in terms of keeping the pre-show queuing up for a) ticket pick-up and b) entry into the venue to a reasonable minimum. Regardless of where the ticket distribution/seat-getting falls on the continuum between orderly and something resembling the parade stampede in "Animal House", I will go on record as predicting AReg will be seated front and center  |

Is he going to play solo? I saw him play at his wife's show this summer and he looked like his hand was ok. I am cool with either. Thoughts?

I saw on the Cities97 site that they changed their promotion to read "Interview with limited performance" whereas they had previously referred to it as a "private performance". |

Info about tickets and admittance from First Ave.
The show is actually will call AND hard tickets. We will just have 2 doors
open and both lines will service both will call and hard ticket customers.
Doors open at 7pm, so that will be the earliest you can be admitted-
Hope that helps!
Thanks

Yeah, "limited performance" leaves a lot of wiggle room.
I read a post on My Morning Jacket forum about Jim James' Craft series performance and the set list was 8 songs. Also noted in that post was: "since the event was sponsored by miller beer (=drink tickets), my only costs (other than gas) were a few bucks in tips". We can hope.
The Craft site has videos of 6 Patty Griffin song performances from her appearance in the series, so she played at least that many.
From a review of the Ben Gibbard Craft series performance a set of 6 songs was noted, however the set list provided had 9 songs.
Given Paul's rather long list of great songs, I'm thinking 8 has to be the minimum. Again, we can hope.
I'm driving up from Madison, WI and I assume a fair amount of non-MPLS/MN folks obtained tickets one way or another too. I'm thrilled to be attending, but will be hoping for many more than 4 songs.

Don't forget the interview part! That's what's really different about this event, so 4 songs or 8 songs or 12 songs, it's that, plus the interview. I'm sure these things are kinda fluid and some artists are more talky and some more songy. (Though of course I hope Paul is both-y and the show last 17 hours). |
