Reverb: Live review: The Get Up Kids @ the Marquis Theater

    "They famously held a 10-year anniversary show in their hometown of Lawrence, Kan., in 2005 and charged what they called “first year prices” — which meant five bucks a head. For what was (at the time) their final show later that year, $13 got you in the door when a $40 ticket would have still easily sold out the venue. If you wanted a souvenir T-shirt it would have set you back a measly $12.

    Flash forward five plus years to Tuesday night’s show:"

    The year is 2009. Unless you're doing some sort of new math, that's four years. And what about the openers, Casey James Prestwood and Pretty and Nice? Sloppy.
