Oh, THAT movie! Haven't seen it yet, but it's one I want to see... Sounds like a good show. And the marriage proposal? Who was that??

Well, Ted left out some details. There was this cute girl a few rows ahead of us, and after a pep talk from Rosemary I decided to ask her to marry me. But just as I was asking, I realized it was actually a guy with long hair, (and very nice skin). It was pretty awkward after that...

...I think there is more to this story...

They are very good...check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAEB53-QILA

That is by far their most popular song. The movie is absolutely fantastic and if you havent seen it take the first chance you get to see it. Glad that the show was really good.

To continue Boaz's engagement story... long-haired, nice-skin guy said yes, amazingly enough. Glen and Marketa were nice enough to let them slow dance on the stage while they performed Falling Slowly. A beautiful moment.

Boaz and LHNS guy?? Now THAT would be a sight....he HAS been looking for a dance partner...

Wait, they danced and there are no iphone pictures!?!?!? How could you fail us so!

We decided that the theater was too dark for our iPhones (with no flash). I agree with Ted and Boaz: it was a fabulous show! Neat little tidbits... *He sang the "Hoover sucker fixer guy" song (if you've seen the movie, you'll know) *They sang "Mystic" by Van Morrison, at the request of someone in the audience, and it was great *They sang a Pixies song as a duet, and sounded almost better than the original...forgot the title of the song, but they cut in with a bit of "Subcultcha" which was...

I love this song.

...it might have been a good time to pull out the kazoo...for lack of words! It might have lessened the tension... It's is still awesome the number of stars you are meeting just because you are there!

A kazoo makes EVERYone more talkative!

It's true- i should have been more prepared. Maybe I'll see them again- it is a small island afterall...

You should have started singing one of their songs at the top of your lungs... that would have impressed them.

You may not have heard of The Swell Season, but if you saw the movie Once, then you've heard their music.  Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova were the stars of the amazing little movie with such powerful songs.  They are now touring the US...

I just saw Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova of The Swell Season, (and the movie Once), at the Union Square holiday market.  I went up to them and had this slightly awkward conversation: Me: Hey, you're the Swell Season. Them: Yeah. Me: I just saw...
