Fan Recaps and Comments:

This was my first show, and it was amazing! They did a bunch of songs I was hoping they'd play (Fingertips, Sun, Alphabet) and Flansburgh interacted with the audience the whole time. Of the best bits was when Linnell pulled out his accordion and the whole crowd cheered, and then Flansburgh started to brag about his acoustic guitar to draw attention away from the accordion. Also, when they started talking about The Else, I held my vinyl copy of the album in the air, and Flans yelled "We got somebody with the vinyl! Put the spotlights on the vinyl!!!" and the lights turned towards me. At that moment I was feeling very cool. During Spy, Flans did a really funny "Kumbaya" thing and Linnell just stared at him like "What the hell are you doing?" It was great!
