As a belated (but planned to be such) birthday present for Leslie, we went on a daddy-daughter date to They Might Be Giants on Saturday. It was a "family show", meaning that they concentrated on songs from their 4 (?) childrens albums. The most songs were from the recent album, Here Comes Science, which quite frankly isn't as good as their older album No! (perhaps the best kids album of all time by any group, in my opinion). Considering the price of the tickets, there were a lot of <5 year olds present. We had fun, getting there an hour and a half before the show so we could get the best seats (no assigned seats). Or, more like "so we could get seats", period, because 80-90% of the audience had to stand, often with small children on their shoulders.
