Retro Revival Swing

I just won a pair of tickets to see Squirrel Nut Zippers at the Boulder Theater tomorrow (Wednesday) night. Since I was planning to go on my own, does anyone want the other ticket? (It's not sold out yet, so if you want to bring a friend one of you can get in free...) Show starts at 8 with an opening band.

In case you don't recall, Squirrel Nut Zippers were the best (most interesting arrangements, best compositions) band in the swing revival craze of the late 1990s. There are few albums I enjoy more than their Perennial Favorites. I'll probably dress up with a top hat and a cane or something. Since it's a fun band in Boulder, you can dress in anything from jeans to a circus costume :-)

Wow, that would have been cool! It's what I get for reading LJ once every blue moon.

They're playing tomorrow night (Friday) at Cervantes. Ukulele Loki's Gadabout Orchestra is opening. I'd go to that show too, but I'll be elsewhere.
