On-the-door prices unavailable since the Bimbo's site seems to have gone "foom!" :-(

I missed them last time around, but a friend who's fairly into them was a little disappointed. Although, apparently "that could just be because I was really tired."
I'm actually as excited to see Portastatic as Camera Obscura.
camera obscura was fairly mellow when i saw them last year. haven't seen portastatic in about 10 years when i last saw them at mergefest in chapel hill. they put on a good show then.
i love the camera obscura live - seen them the last 2x they were in town at great american and enjoyed both shows tremendously!
Sold out?
Yep.
Duplicate event.
