I heard he was the best act when he did SXSW in '07, and I missed him a couple of years ago, so I definitely want to catch him if I can this time.
I'm actually really snobby about seeing people in small venues; sometimes I go as far as missing an artist if the venue is too big. I feel like the setting needs to be intimate. I'm going to see him at this tiny club in Los Angeles called The Troubadour that's noted for booking really good acts.
