Our Jeff Mangum show is now officially SOLD OUT. Thanks for the outpouring of support!! The was the fastest sellout in GE history. THANKS ASHEVILLE and JEFF MANGUM!! We apologize to anyone that was trying and didn’t get tickets.

More on Mangum, from wiki:

Jeff Mangum (born October 24, 1970[1]) is an American musician best known for being the lyricist, vocalist and guitarist of the band Neutral Milk Hotel, as well as being one of the cofounders of The Elephant 6 Recording Company. Born in Ruston, Louisiana, Mangum, along with the other founding members of the Elephant 6, attended Ruston High School in the late 1980s. The friends shared a passion for acts of the 1960s, most notably The Zombies and Donovan, as well as an affinity for later alternative rock bands such as Sonic Youth and the Minutemen.[citation needed] They reflected these influences in the tapes they recorded and shared with each other, forming the seeds of what would become the Elephant 6 Collective. He is married to Astra Taylor, [2] known for making the documentary film Žižek! about the Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek.

Tickets were $29 each for the show, which is set for Feb. 2.

If anyone is selling 1 or 2 tickets, PLEASE contact me at [email protected] . I’m trying to get two tickets for my little sister for Christmas. It would literally make her year.

  Marc – you should do a huge contest promo and hide 2 tickets in random DVD boxes in the store. Or hide them inside 2 random movies behind the counter with the discs.
  
  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style.
