No photo opt this time around then Brother? I wonder if dubman will be there in Oakland.
I feel your frustration though. I mentioned it to someone I know at Monqui presents, a local Portland promoter, and was presented with the same quizzical look that often happens when I mention underworld followed by a question like, "Is that something to do with the vampire movies?"
But yeah, it does suck having to make the trip, but I've resigned myself to that simple reality if I want to see underworld live. This will be my third trip to San Francisco to see them in seven years. Not too bad, but I would sure love to see them play a smallish Portland venue like the Doug Fir. Granted they would have to drop a great deal of the inflatables and the light show to play at such a venue.
