Ahhh so so so so so so excited for this. I was lucky enough to see Jeff in August of 2011 in my own neighbourhood in Montreal at a tiny venue. It was mind blowing and I definitely broke down and cried during Ferris Wheel on Fire. The passion and emotion was so much to take. After 10 years, I'm still as in love with NMH as I was the first time I heard them back in 2003. I'm happy to say that my fiance and I are making a 6 hour drive from New Brunswick to Portland, ME to see Jeff on this tour. It will be his first time and my second. I can't wait to share that experience with him.

I'd love to go see them at the 40 Watt club. So envious of any of you goons who get to go. That being said, I'm lucky enough to have seen him twice in the last 2 years. I hope he comes back to Montreal :allears:

I love NMH, but I can't see myself seeing them live. I think it'd be too weird.

Why would it be too weird?

I guess if you've listened to him for a long time, suddenly seeing the guy singing in person would be kinda bizarre.

I first heard NMH ten years ago and have not found a band since that has moved me the way NMH does. They are my all time most loved, most cherished, most invested-in, most listened to band. I'll admit, it was surreal seeing him perform in my old neighbourhood in my home town back in 2011. Hearing other people sing along to his words and seeing the passion spill out of them the same way it spilled out of me while listening to NMH in my bedroom by myself was odd because for 8 years, it felt like I was the only one living in that world. It felt like NMH was MY band. The obscure indie band that all my friends thought were garbage because they didn't sound like anything on the radio. I mean, I get it. But believe me, it's worth it. I've seen him twice live and I would regret it so much if I had missed out on the opportunity.

How has nobody mentioned the Neutral Milk Hotel Reunion Winterstravaganza Tourpaloozathon dates yet? Is there a better place to discuss this that I'm not seeing?

I actually came here hoping to find pre-sale information. It seems like most (if not all) dates go on sale Friday at either 10am or noon. Apparently there's a pre-sale for the Dallas show that is tomorrow at 10am... I'm thinking most of the other dates will have a similar pre-sale. Any goons know how to get in on that? I can't find any details at all.
