I was at the Majestic buying still more tickets tonite (yes, I am actively recruiting here, with my two favorite acts on the same bill!), and the guy at the ticket booth says that tickets have been "selling like hotcakes"... I think it may even be possible to sell out if enough people show up to buy tickets before the show tomorrow night.... Looking forward to a wonderful show - and still hoping against hope for a Madison-ish version of Curl...

Of course, Paul and Storm *were* on Bob & Tom this week, so that should help bring their fans (of which there are quite a number in Madison)... but at the very least you did get plugged in one of the comics in the student newspaper... http://www.badgerherald.com/comics/?album=doodles In the future, I'd strongly recommend taking out some ads in local papers, even above and beyond whatever the actual venue does - especially in college towns. That said, for all I know the show is already sold out... but if so I expect it would have been much earlier with a bit more advertising.
