because i am in need of tears.

Beirut = Camper Van Beethoven + 20 years - sense of humor.

I would like to go because such like as in, I could further promote things such as like these Middle Eastern maps with the Iraq and American relations.

I love them hardcore and also I really want to go and I'm broke and I'll be a very positive influence at the show (i.e.) smiling, laughing, clapping, buying a couple people a beer.

I been dis cuntry almos tirty years ant not found suche betifull musac as dis bant from Bierutt. My vife and sun bot lck dis musac also. Pleas sent ticats.

So much tanks yuo,

Because I was able to ween my adorable 18 month old niece off of the "Doodlebops" (yeah, i know... wtf?) by leaving "Prenzlauerberg" and "Interior of a Dutch House" on repeat. Now she does her off the beat buoy-esque dance to gypsy horns and bobbing accordions. There's nothing better than passing forward beautiful music, especially to future generations. Nothing would reward my heroic feat than an equally heroic one on the part of the Gothamist.

I use to belong to the L.A.M.A.(Lebanese American Mens Association) club in Easton, Pennsylvania but I let my membership lapse because of the gunfire that normally broke out on Friday and Saturday nights.

I think there were only two or three deaths for all the shootings, nothing to get worried about. But to bring back the old time feelings, I sure would like to hear the new tunes being busted out by Beirut.

I'd like to see

this band for free

and drink until I'm tipsy

so give me tix

or stevie nicks

will sing her album "Gypsy"

i was supposed to go to this show...until me and my boyfriend broke up and he took the tickets. hopefully, i will get to go.

I never get to see these mysterious "secret" shows, which makes me feel sad and lame and not in the special treehouse. I have no darling clever reason why I should get these tickets, I would just like to go. Maybe I'll get to.

4 words: siki siki ba ba!

'Cuz it would be SUCH a cool 30th birthday present for my musician husband -- and do you know how much pressure there is for newlyweds to come up with good 30th birthday presents?? Also, I can't stop listening to their latest CD -- it's so beautiful, and fills me with a strangely teenage glee...Pick me!

I don't know how I can convince you guys about how much I want to see Beirut and company. I don't have a sob story, I don't have an "Oh, darn, I missed their free show and this would redeem my unworthiness" claim, I don't have a birthday coming up. I'm just a huge fan of Beirut and I want to be able to say that I saw him perform at least once.

I must go because Cousin Avi burned down my Mama's caravan.

ok. my girlfriend is a massive beirut and balkan beat box fan. its my birthday on sunday and although she is really busy working on three plays, is organizing and cooking for a big dinner party. i want to do something (well, via gothamist) super nice for her and this show would make her insanely happy. did i mention its my birthday sunday?

Man, I saw the headline and for a split second thought there was going to be a beer-pong tournament in Central Park. I was really excited, and then I started to read and was disappointed. Then I read the rest and got excited again. You wouldn't want to disappoint me twice with the same article, would you?

That being said, beer-pong in Central Park seems like a great idea.

If my heart could sing, it would sound like Beirut.

Beirut played at a free secret show three weeks ago with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. I was too late to redeem my vouchers for it and missed them. They are two of my crap-my-pants favorite bands, and when I heard that they performed I dropped to the floor and pounded my fists on the ground in silent frustration. I really don't want to regret missing Beirut again!

i did an interview with ori from balkan beat box and promised i would meet him in person for this, plus my girlfriend and i fell in love to gulag orkestar record.

it would make for a nice early birthday present for her and give me a change to thank ori.

i must go because I can think of no other way to blow off my pathology class! how perfect!

Because I had a contest to figure out what show I would go to next Wednesday, and Beirut won! Congratulations, Beirut. You wouldn't want to disappoint Beirut, would you Gothamist?
