Dammit. But maybe not dammit! See, Talib Kweli (great follow on Bluesky, by the way) is playing at the Dakota, and he is playing two shows. His first show starts at 6:30; his second is at 9. Meanwhile, Fitz And The Tantrums doesn't get onstage till 9, even though the show and the opening act starts playing at 8. I don't think Kweli is going 2 1/2 hours. If he ends his set at 8:30, that means I can get out of the Dakota, walk up Hennepin, get to First Ave., and maybe even grab a cider before they go on at 9. And hey, maybe they're going to do the rock star thing and get onstage at 9:15 or something, so I'll have plenty of time!
When I first thought up this diabolical plan, I actually was impressed with myself, and I am no longer impressed with myself unless I do stuff with strippers (and even then that's debatable). Festivals aside (and they probably don't count because multiple acts play in one albeit huge venue), I have never seen two concerts on the same night, let alone the same day, in two different places. I didn't think that was possible; I mean, concerts happen at night, right? Well, thank Buddha for jazz clubs and early shows, because (assuming there are tickets and the ticket prices are reasonable), I think I can pull this off!
