I don't work for Merge, but I was told that an effort was made to set up a 
Greensboro date, but they didn't want to play there.  Guess the Arcade Fire 
haven't received the memo that G'boro is "hip" now.  The ideal sized venue 
for a show here would be Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh, but apparently it 
was booked with one of the wonderful Broadway shows that play there.
