When I read that the Decemberists were coming back so soon, I immediately got on IM and starting messaging people. This time around, they are doing a two concert series called "The Long and Short of it." I think it's rather clever. One day (11/3) is the "Long of It" concert where they will play their epic eight-minute plus songs and then the next day (11/4) is the "Short of It" concert where they will be playing their shorter more pop-type songs.

The concerts are going to be held at the Orpheum Theater on 11/3-11/4 (Saturday and Sunday) and tickets go on sale tomorrow 9/8 @ 10am EST. Click (here) for a link to the "Long of It" concert on 11/3 or click (here) for a link to the "Short of It" concert on 11/4.

I'm checking my schedule to see if I can make both concerts - but I'll most likely only make it to the Sunday show. I think my Wicked tickets are on that Saturday. If you haven't heard the Decemberists, check them out. They're awesome. When I got their cd Picaresque, I listened to Eli, The Barrow Boy over and over again for weeks at a time.
