possible wedding proposal at NYC pinkerton show this saturday

would it be lame or awesome to pop question during El Scorcho and would it be lamer or awesomer if it was acknowledged with an onstage shout-out by band?

I would like to do this for my lovely saint of girlfriend.

if answer is "awesome," how do i contact rivers and co.?

cool idea! maybe a note including the lyric "I think i'd be good for you and you'd be good for me"

I agree with Hayley on the ifs and loudness factor. You don't want to shout your proposal and have her say huh or what. But if you are keen on proposing during the actual song, proposals can also be carried out in an "unspoken" manner. Here is an idea. Take her hand at the beginning of the song then give her a kiss. Get down on one knee and pull out the custom made ring box(and gawd, I hope you do have a ring) you had made for her. It has a heart or something like that on the outside, with a special inscription on the inside that says marry me? or love me forever...something like that. Now, open the ring box and viola, you've just proposed without saying a word. She'll either be completely floored or just plain pissed that you distracted her from the show. But really, before you do any type of public proposal, you have to be sure that your girl would want something flashy like that. Personally, it's not for me. But I would love to watch it happen to someone else. Love...sigh.

Bands get tons of requests like this all the time and it's hard to honor 'em (especially if they have a tight show schedule). You could always try searching for an email or phone number or something like that to get in touch with the band or their mgmt but it could be tough.

If your girlfriend is a HUGE =w= fan, and if El Scorcho is THE song, totally go for it. It might be hard to pop the question before the song since venues can be LOUD and there may not be much time between songs, but go with your gut, dude and good luck :)
