Scene: The Snook and I are walking down King Street in Newtown, soon to be our local main drag. We come upon a tiny tiny music store. Kris’s eyes pop out of her head.

Kris: Does that say that They Might Be Giants are going to be playing and signing CDs in this store?
Snook: Way-hey! Next Wednesday.
Kris: Oh my God. We are so there. (pause) They Might Be Giants are going to be physically four hundred yards from our house. THAT RULES!

Postscript: we rushed home and discovered that they’re playing two proper shows in Sydney next week. So we’re gonna see ’em again!
