Leonard Cohen

If you're not sitting, you better: the venerable Leonard Cohen will be in Seattle at WaMu Theater on April 23 as part of his first US tour in 15 years. Tickets go on sale March 2 at 10 a.m. and will cost anywhere from $69.50 to $250. Excuse me my teen-girl moment, but: eeeeee! When I saw that he was playing Coachella, I seriously considered buying tickets even though I really did not like Coachella-- the polo-field-as-venue, the extortion by the food and water vendors, the ever-present sound issues or the Draconian campground security-- the last time I went. But now I don't have to worry about that business, because he's coming here! Yes!

Anyway, full list of tour dates after the jump. You know, just in case you want to follow him around for a while.
