The Pixies land at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell tomorrow night, and I’m so excited I could just… buy some crack. What the hell else are you supposed to do in Lowell? At least they have the Lock Monsters, because there damn sure won’t be any Bruins games this year. My friend Chris is a goal judge for the Monsters, so maybe I can get a good seat behind the penalty box at one of the upcoming games. And some crack.
But back to Los Pixies. This should be a very different experience from when I saw them on their warm up tour back in April. They’ve been on the road for nearly 9 months straight now, and have managed not to kill one another, so I imagine it’ll be a tight, memorable set in front of their hometown crowd. I’ll give you all a full, geeky report on Thursday – but stay tuned for some Thanksgiving photos and stories tonight. Pixies dork, out.

- The Pixies At Tsongas Arena In Lowell, December 2004. The fucking Pixies had been removing and cleaning out the heads of everyone you knew that year and now they were coming to your school.

- Happiness Is A Pixies Ticket! Victory is mine. The pre-sell worked, and I’m now the proud owner of several Pixies tickets for December 1st at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell.

- Holy Fuck I Love The Pixies. As you all know last night I went to Lowell to see The Pixies, and I’ll be doing a write up with some hilarious photos over the weekend. How much did I like it, you ask? I’m going again tonight. So please excuse the blog inactivity, I’ve been busy recapturing my youth, navigating that most [...]...

Wish I could make the show, sounds like a good time. I’ve got a WWE event going on in Springfield that night so I don’t think I’ll make it. Looking forward to the T-Day pics!
Thanks, Million Dollar Man. The best part is, I’m going with about 10 friends I don’t get to see that often, including visitors who live in Sweden, so that’ll add to the fun. All my Pixie loving peers from high school.
Hi Dave,
I saw you at the Lowell Brewery last night before the show. You’re still as handsome as ever. What a great show eh? Loved it… except the part where someone broke into my car and stole all my Pixies Cd’s…that part kinda sucked. Time to hit Virgin.
Ta,
K.C. (friend of Peden and also a huge Pixies Fan)
I saw you too – I waved at ya through the window, ya wacky broad. We couldn’t figure out how to get to where you were, so we just went to the top floor of the Lowell Brewing Company. Were you in the comedy club or something? Sorry about your CDs. That show was incredible – the crowd sucked, but the Pixies were insane. I’ll go into more detail when I write up my proper post. All I’ll say is, ‘Something Against You’ sounded like the sweet baby Jesus himself parted the heavens and screamed violently in my ear.
