As far dilemnas go, this present situation that yours truly is in happens to be a real humdinger. Tomorrow night, Camper Van Beethoven is playing at the State Theatre in nearby Falls Church, VA. For a spot of Camper Van, see below.
Awesome right?? Maybe not the made for you tube video so much but the song, ooooh...weeeeee. Well, clearly not as awesome is the fact that the cost for two tickets, complete with the "convenient" $5.75 surcharge for each, is fifty bucks. GOD-DAMN!!! Do I want to swing that for just a random show on a Thursday Night, especially with money being tight; what with all of this moving going on and a vacation up to Stowe, VT for five days of skiing in a little over a week. I just don't know if it's in the cards. I mean, 50 bones for the show, not to mention the overhead spending that concert going brings (your couple beers, going out for a post-work, pre-show bite to eat, any and all extracurricular drinking). When all is said and done, we're probably looking at a $100. here, if not more. A hundred dollars that can just as easily buy a Kool-Aid and the Toast a damn fine dinner after a day of hitting the slopes in Vermont. But...It's Camper Van!!! Aargh!!! A decision like this is harder than College.
Just for the hell of it, and because I can, peep this old video of Camper Van, straight up 80's style. '89 if you want to be a dick about it.

You sure as heckfire better believe that David Lowery looks pretty gosh darn different. All young and less grizzled, and no wicker cowboy hat to boot?? What's the deal?!?!
There it is, much better. We'll let you know how it all turns out once I finally stop being indecisive and make some sort of decision. Do I want to kick ass, eat a burger, have a few beers, and see Camper Van Beethoven?? Or do I want to be responsible, save a few bucks for vacation where it will ultimately be spent on Kool-Aid, and officially act like a grown up?? Hmmm......I'm going to need more time, or...some advice.
