If by any chance you aren’t going to the Freshly Dipped Tour this Saturday night at Emo’s, don’t fret- there is another option. Ghostland Observatory will be playing the Whitewater Amphitheatre in New Braunfels that same night.

Austin’s favorite ‘I knew them before they were big’ band, Ghostland Observatory, is playing the 3,800 capacity venue, which boasts a Biergarten and the Horseshoe river running behind the main stage. General Admission is sold out, but you can still buy a ticket in the preferred seated area for the whopping price of $67.25 (with charges). I was trying to figure out exactly how they got to the amount of $60, totaling up to a *seated* Ghostland show. So I broke it down as I see fit:

Braids= 20 minutes labor + rubber bands, $5

Shades= vintage shop cop $15

White pants= painted on?

Shiny cross cape= homemade by Mrs. Turner

Microphone swings= $1 per swing x 15, $15

Laser show= $25 per ticket holder, for good reason

That dance move from ‘Vibrate’= PRICELESS (@1:40)

So add that, divide, and carry the 2, is it worth it? Maaaybe. Ghostland is playing a number of fests this year, but not ACL, and although they do those random shows in Austin every once in a while- the last one sold out in 2 hours at Stubb’s indoor.

After many shows I have not seen this song live, so I post in wishful thinking:

Ghostland Observatory - Best Won’t Do

and this because it’s name is cryptic, I heard it stands for Hairy Fat Man- if you know, let me know:

Ghostland Observatory - H.F.M.

Funny
