Sarah, Graffiti is a good place to see a band(reminds me of the Paradise in Boston). I have seen Superchunk, Velocity Girl, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Carrie Newcomer, ... . For The Connells I guess that they would have an "open floor". This would probably allow a few hundred concertgoers. No "official" ticket announcements yet. You could probably get tickets through ticketBastard. Let me know if you plan to attend the Show. Graffiti. 412-682-4210. 4615 Baum Blvd., Oakland. Showcase for new and established national touring acts as well as locals. e.- > >new/more dates: > >Thurs 10-Oct Graffiti Showcase Pittsburgh I may spontaneously combust if the Connells don't come through State College (like they _said_ they would). D'oh! So as a backup, if anyone can give me any info for the Graffiti Showcase in Pittsburgh (esp. size of the venue, and a phone number where I might secure tickets) I will be eternally grateful. Hopefully it won't come to that, but you never know. pax, Sarah
