Musicians to rock for Barack
The Decemberists aren't exactly Coldplay big. I have a hard time believing they could pull 20,000 too and I imagine that show there were other bands playing.
Better estimate is 11,000. The twenty is the most they could have possibly drawn.
The last part about moving into the whitehouse... dude dont jinx it.
Remember, Portland is The Decemberists home town, so they probably have a larger fanbase in that city.
