"Utilizing words like "palanquin", "parapets", and "chaparral" may not necessarily indicate you're gay; it could just mean you're a creative writing major. In the case of Decemberists' main man Colin Meloy, only the latter is true, but Meloy has a penchant for a sort of overblown, fey ambiance, right down to his word choice."

decemberists tickets for webster hall go on sale today at noon, by the way:
http://www.decemberists.tickets.musictoday.com/Decemberists/calendar.aspx
$24 including the service fee of $1, which that one dollar going to the Independent Publishing Resource Center of portland, which is really nice. and i'm estimating that it's going to be a few dollars lower than ticketweb's service charges.
