It’s Educational

This weekend, tickets for the Pixies’ return to the Bay State after twelve years away went on sale. Having had the opportunity see the Pixies in Iceland in May, one of the few chances for them to play “Caribou” to actual caribou (thanks, Pitchfork), I jumped at the chance to see them perform “U-Mass” at UMass… I was prepared for the normal Ticketmaster disaster scene, but managed to get through on the phone before getting success online, and got four floor tickets for the Mullins Center show in Amherst on November 30th. (Their seating chart only gave two choices: “generic” or “Cosby.” Nice.) It ought to be a momentous night, and when you add a chance for some Antonio’s for the road on the way home, well, you can’t beat that.
