A Reason to Visit Showbox SoDo

Just this weekend, we were declaring that we would never set foot in the new Showbox SoDo. That the Fenix has always been a terrible venue, regardless of name, owner, or minor renovations. That it would take some big name to get us to attend a show there, say, Bjork, Sufjan, maybe Broken Social Scene....

And then we checked our email this morning.
