The National

Got mine. Both tour shirts and a pack of guitar picks. Kinda bummed since I couldn't attend the tour in Portland and I had tickets for both nights (I've still never seen them live) so I guess the universe wants to laugh at me.

Both are a large. Both are up for trade and will be washed next time I do a load of laundry
 
Since it looks like there may be more shows announced in the not too distant future, I'll share what a friend in the business told me a while back. He had no real details regarding dates, and I'm not sure if it's a co-headlining tour, but the word is that The Nats are shopping around larger theatres (I'm guessing like Radio City size) for a tour leg with War on Drugs. He promised to keep me updated if he hears anything - I will reach out just in case. His info is always spot on.

That would be amazing.
 
That would be amazing.
I saw them together once - at the 2011 Beacon Theatre run.

That would be amazing! And might be the only way I could ever convince my wife to go to a National show with me! :LOL:

They are both playing the same night at Bourbon and beyond. Maybe that tour would be around that time.

I saw The National open up for Modest Mouse and REM. I would very much like to go to a National/War On Drugs show and might actually like go if they are close enough and whatnot.
That tour was my last ever REM show and first The National show. Saw them at The Mann Ctr in Philly, an off night between a bunch of Pearl Jam shows in the area. We were hoping that EdVed would show up, since PJ were playing two nights that week just across the river in Camden.

Incredibly fortunate to have front row thanks to the REM fan club. Three songs in to REM’s set, my husband spotted Ed side stage and he ended up coming out for Begin the Begin.

Apparently, Ed and Jeff were sitting behind us, in front of the soundboard during Modest Mouse’s set.
