Who's in?
I am beyond excited... Bruce on Monday - Arcade Fire on Friday - best week ever?
I'm jealous. Arcade Fire is good stuff.
Just out of curiosity, why do they need to import a band from Montreal (arcade Fire) for Obama?
That's very true - in fact the head of Merge records is the leader of Superchunk, the band sharing the bill for this event.
However, it doesn't explain it fully since Arcade Fire played a couple shows in Ohio in support of Obama as well...
I'll be going more for the show and less for the politics, but it's still very exciting to have a free arcade fire show just down the road from duke.
