How to Keep Your Car Windows Safe In the Tenderloin

The last time we saw Jens Lekman, as his set ended he apologized that he had run out of time. The lights went on, he hopped down from the stage to mingle with the crowd, and then said, "I'd like to keep playing music. Do you know of anywhere else we can play some more music? I'm not from around here." Phew, such a nice guy.
We suggested Union Square in NY, went there and waited in the cold, but he sadly never showed - he apparently "got lost in Halloween weekend traffic."
Although both shows at Bottom of the Hill are sold out, check out craigslist. But since Jens has a habit of continuing the party after the party is over... maybe wait around outside the venue after the show, then ask that he play at your apartment or on your rooftop. He just might do that.

Ohhh, I love Jens Lekman. Is saw him at Bimbos last year and stole his water-bottle. Pretty creepy, I know.
I hope you still have the bottle.
Hey Kelly Clarkson!
I'm in your show at the Rod Laver Arena in Melboune Park. You look about sixty pounds heavier than when you were an Idol and it's awesome.
