Oh, guess I should link to my vids from the show here too. I'm too lazy to link to them individually, so here's the link to my YouTube profile with all my vids. |

Guys, how can you actually get a hold of the setlist? I don't really see myself running on the stage for stealing it. 0_0 Between Owen's and the Mountain Goats' sets at Webster Hall, I got Thomas's attention and asked for the setlist. Then, the following night at the Bell House, Thomas spotted me while clearing the gear away for the Goats' set and recognized me and brought me the setlist without my asking for it. This is because Thomas is made of awesome. But yeah, you generally get setlists by managing to be the first to get someone's attention. I don't do the whole screaming and jumping on stage thing. I just try to politely get someone's attention and request it. At that Webster Hall show, when Owen left the stage, there was clearly a piece of paper stuck to the floor where he'd been standing. But no one seemed to care, so when Thomas passed by the edge of the stage, I said "Hey, great show. Is that the setlist?" and that was that. But if several people are holding out their hands for the setlist at the same time, it's probably going to go to some cute girl with a low-cut shirt. I'm still in trouble with my wife for the time Bowie gave me a setlist and I gave it away to an eleven year old who was at his first Bowie gig. I figured he'd treasure it more than I would. It was only later that Mrs Else said that she really wanted it. Memorabilia is one of those things that I can never quiet work out if I need or not. I wouldn't collect with the view that one day it may be worth something or to say that I had something, but as a way of triggering memories. I also hate the thought that when I die it may all even up in a skip. |

This is true. I'm a bearded dude...i never get the setlists from roadies despite my long arms. The pretty ladies always do. The nice ones let me photograph it. |

I find when trying to get roadies to give you setlists it help to smil and say please. I have had quite a few occaisons where the roadies have specifically tried to give a setlist to me (sometimes successfully, othertimes long armed men steal it off them as they try to hand it to me). Though I guess I probably have an advantage being female, though I'm not one for low cut tops or looking cute.

I spent several awkward minutes looking sadly at an onstage setlist after a show, once, and then a roadie chased me to give it to me as I was leaving! One of the best concert experiences I've had. I am a lady, but similarly not cute or low-cut. Who knows what that means.
