They've apparently done away with single-day tickets this year, so if you want to see the Bunnymen and Coachella, you're going to have to buy a three-day pass. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/01/coachella-2010-say-goodbye-to-single-day-tickets.html

So, anyone actually going? It's looking like I will. :)

not me. I'm getting my wish to see the Specials in L.A. before Coachella. No need for a trip out to the desert for the B.O. Fest.

Wondering what's the smallest room the Bunnymen have played in the States in, say, the last 10 years? Coachella is a couple hundred thousand people ...

coachella more like 60,000, and I don't know if that's each day, or over all three days. and they're not the headliner, which means they'll have competition. And depends on where they're playing too ... a tent vs. an outdoor stage. Either way, it's gonna be a lot of sweaty, overheated people.

as to smallest ... no idea. Weren't those Boston and NY gigs at smallish places? Likewise the places they played during SXSW in Austin. personally, I like seeing favorite bands at very small venues.

Irving Plaza is your standard local venue size.

The Boston and NYC venues both hold about 250. I think one of the Austin venues during SXSW may be hold less than that, but I don't know for sure.

I debating going. I'm more drawn to climbing Mt. Whitney before the show. I'm waiting to see if they'll announce resuming their cancelled North American tour. I'd much rather see them in a smaller venue where the audience has come specifically for them. But then I'd miss out on an opportunity to kill myself in an avalanche on the Mountineers Route.

Can't wait for the blog about getting stuck in the avalanche and surviving by eating your own leg and took the pictures to prove it while interspersing Bunnymen tunes from your dying Ipod right before they rescue you. hehehe!! Rescue...

Hey death on a mountain was good enough for George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. And should you be killed in a heroic ascent I will name my next child after you just like I named my first two after Mallory and Irvine.

Of course the missus had her tubes tied so it would have to be adoption or a love child.

Rusty Spurs was really small - maybe 250?

Gee and you had that great dead mountaineer naming system going. Wonder why she would get off that gravy train.

As opposed to you naming your kid after your favorite Robin Williams movie?
