Nice meeting you too! and no worries totally understandable :) I do have facebook my name is pretty common so I can add you or my facebook username thing is karen.kim.9634 if that helps haha. I agree, I would have loved it if I heard evil bee or wet and rusting and more songs from their first album but the show was still awesome. And yeaah! I noticed too but i think his drumming made up for it :P

That's a tough question, but right now it probably stands at #4, below Stand Ins, Stage Names and Black Sheep Boy. I haven't heard their older stuff, though; are you a fan from way back?

No worries, it was an amazing show to be at alone. Am I a loser for really loving the solo show experience? Each band was better than the last for me, and when Okkervil River played "John Allyn Smith Sails", "Piratess", "For Real" and all the rest from Black Sheep Boy/The Stage Names, I went delirious. How did you find it?

I'm loving it NOW but it took a while to grow on me. I'm still not crazy about The Rise - AT ALL - but some of the songs (White Shadow Waltz, We Need A Myth, Hanging From A Hit) are so stellar that the rest of the album could blow and it wouldn't matter.

jezebel and the trapeze swinger are the two iron and wine songs that i could just listen to for hours and hours and i think there have been days when i do just that! sometimes sam beam is a magical man. i mean, you know, he's no will sheff but he's okay! and speaking of will sheff - i cannot believe you asked me my favorite okkervil river song! you should've asked me my top ten okkervil river songs! that would've been a much easier task! or at least my favorite off of each album or something! so how about if i go with top five and say a stone, for real, so come back i am waiting, for real and red although i cannot believe it ends with a fall and a favor and a king and a queen and SO MANY OTHERS aren't on there!! what task have you given me?! as for shearwater - with will, i have to go with trouble in mind (i think!) and without, i'd hate to name something so new but i am SO taken with the song rooks! now i pose the same question to you! your favorite okkervil and shearwater songs, sir?

yeah, i figure that he probably knows infinately more than i do about music and books and stuff, therefore if i tried to speak about anything of that nature i'd probably just sound like an idiot to him. so i just stuck with "hey, you guys are the greatest, i love you", etc. typical fangirlish things.

YES, my friend and i kept our asses waiting until he showed up. i think i may have patrick to thank for that, he brought my poster backstage to be signed and reappeared a few minutes later with will. i met him once before about two years ago but was slightly petrified and don't think i said anything coherent. i think i did a little better this time.

I love it as well. can't really say which album's my fav one, I can relate to all of them..lyrically, the stand ins is not as inspiring as black sheep boy for example, but as you said, still v refreshing :)
