the bravery was confirmed for an opener

http://forums.netphoria.org/showthread.php?t=145698

i'll be there....okay, now i'm going back to bed.

yeah seriously haha

I gots me three...don't know who's getting ticket #3 yet though. See'ya.

im way too old for general admission but ive waited almost 10 years to see the pumpkins again. i got two GA tickets no problem.

im so stoked, im sorry.

im not sorry.

im way too old for general admission but ive waited almost 10 years to see the pumpkins again. i got two GA tickets no problem.
its not a metalica show, i think you'll be fine.

how old is too old?

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! !!

im 27!

thats not too old. ill take your tickets if you don't want gen adm. ;)

no, thats what i wanted. i was just joking. well if it were anyone but the pumpkins i would have probably gone for reserved seating.

ill be sure to be fashionably an hour late as to avoid the opener. that or ill start drinking.

ill be getting a hotel room.

I will be there! Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!1

I'll be there. 27 is not too old for GA!!

You're never too old to rock it out on ze ground floor!!

me and my entourage will be on that floor

I am 29....and I will be front and center if I can help it.

ASSHOLE! I fucking hate iTunes! I prefer an actual harddisk and I'm cheapskate so I gotta wait until 1pm on Saturday to get tickets.

But I'll be there.

Who is opening for them at Roy Wilkins? TM had no info on who.

I do not have tickets for this show yet....but I will have them on Saturday! And yeah, for the record, iTunes does suck. You get 128 m4p files, not even cd quality for a cost that is more than the album. Despite the cost, I did buy several copies of the album....all from big boxes;) Just joking @ the whole Atomic Records ordeal...

Supposedly the Bravery. I am not 100% though.

you should be able to get tickets on saturday. ill probably try to get there early, even if it means suffering through the bravery. my hotel is right across the street.

you got a hotel already?!

i'll probably drive home that night to be honest.

I'm not sure if I am doing a hotel or not. It's a four hour drive to the cities for me. I guess I could make a day out of it, and hit up some record stores and jamba juice before the show.

well i will be by myself and i dont want to drive to the actual concert and deal with traffic and crap. someone i know up in SP gave me tips on hotels. i can always cancel too if i decide against it. oh plus im old and hate driving at night.

why do you keep saying your old!? you need to get out of ames.

i drove 3 and a half hours from chicago to iowa city after a manson show, and 3 hours back to ames after a tool show in minn.

i might post up in minn too im not sure. i've got classes the next day i assume. although i don't remember my schedule.

i did stuff like that in my youth!
i took mon-wed off work so im good there.

i did stuff like that in my youth!

seriously. you are talking like a grandma. I am 27, and I assure you that your youth is not over.

srsly

im not that serious.
but i do hate driving at night.

yeah, on 30 especially i agree. but 27 is not old hun.

Y'all can share my itsy bitsy 1-bedroom apartment by Lake Calhoun and sleep on each other like prisoners at Dachow. That is if the cat allows it. I'll make you waffles or something. Again, if the cat allows it.

bitchin. i call top bunk! and first set of waffles

if this show wasn't on a monday i would be right there on the floor with you cigarki. thats gonna fucking rock.

well youre in luck, its not on a monday!

so is anyone interested in meeting up before the show or anything?

hi. how is the show selling so far, is the floor sold out? question two that i have is, if i buy the album from itunes now, i won't still get a presale password will I? three, if there is anyone who still has room left on a passcode from the presale, and would allow it's use by another, i would be grateful to be that person or persons. I am planning to travel down to st.paul, from the lovely Canadian province of Manitoba. And I need to procure tickets for the concert.

well youre in luck, its not on a monday!

Tuesday...whatever, same shit. :beatup:

Too far to drive in the middle of the week when there's another show on Thurs and Sun of the same week and vacation days are tight.

if i buy the album from itunes now, i won't still get a presale password will I?

:noway:

thanks for the clarification on that man.

Come on, davin! you know you want to!!!

I need tickets ( 2 ) to this show. I'll stress the importance: I've never been to a show yet, and I've been a fan 10+ years. I sure would like the opportunity. Garcias in advance.

Steve

edit: Sorry, I forgot that I was supposed to make three new threads in each board to get my message out.

Yeah if you can't take it, you can swim in Calhoun and end your misery. I think a friend of my wife and I has moved to a new place just off the lake.

buy tickets when they go on sale on saturday. i dont see what the problem is.

if this show wasn't on a monday i would be right there on the floor with you cigarki. thats gonna fucking rock.
davin! come on dude!

if you get st paul tickets, ill shoot for some normal tix

yeah seriously, its not like it sold out by the presale

so is anyone interested in meeting up before the show or anything?
if you end up canceling that hotel, i'd be interested in splitting gas money :)

i think we should all raid osamy's apartment. get all tore up after the show and have some of those famous waffles

I don't have any time tomorrow to get on the net and order the tickets. Seeing as how they're selling out what seems like immediately, I thought I'd better start pleading now.

find time. i stress the importance.

Come on, davin! you know you want to!!!

davin! come on dude!

if you get st paul tickets, ill shoot for some normal tix

oh trust me...i DO want to!!! one of my close friends and a former college roommate is going (i hooked him up with the last 2 tickets from my presale password). so i would love to...

...but dudes, i went to Paris, have 2 san fran shows coming up, reading festival coming up, normal, detroit and dallas....at least the last 3 are really close, on a sunday and on a saturday (respectively).

next time!

hook me up with whatever you do that allows you to financially see so many shows so far away.

well, i've been working in IT for almost 10 years...and i invest...and i use frequent flyer mile programs....and i win at poker a lot.....thats about it.

my miles got me a ticket to baltimore for virgin :D

well if i swoop somethin up for normal, well all have to get drinks or something.

definitely dude!

plus you heard billy and jimmy on the at&t blueroom interview, right? SP is gonna be around 4-ever....so we'll see each-other eventually! :smoke:

Good deal.

I won't have time to get those tickets tomorrow though. On top of working I've gotta train the new guy. I'm really hoping Netphoria can pull through for me here guys. Like I said, I have yet to see a show. Blue balls for the Pumpkins here.

dont you have any friends or family members who could purchase them for you tomorrow when they go on sale? it doesnt go on sale until 1pm. find a way. do it.

i heard the lead singer has a weird voice. i wouldn't bother.

waffles, davin! WAFFLES

dont you have any friends or family members who could purchase them for you tomorrow when they go on sale? it doesnt go on sale until 1pm. find a way. do it.

Is that 1PM Central? It's certainly possible then...

yes, it says right on ticketmaster.

It'll be a squeeze, but I'll have to give er my best.

Say who's taping this anyway!?!? I have yet to see anything aboot it.

anyone know the ticket limit for the general onsale for this show?

general admission floor x4, x1, five all together, st paul knows how to do it. gen adm.

WTF my fucking card doesn't have this security code they're asking for.

Edit: Jesus balls I found it.. I had to call my wife to see if she had the whole thing... she only had the last two digits.. same as me. I had to angle the damn thing into the light to read my first digit. Sonofabitch.

Oh.. but the good news is I got my ticket.

Now who's taping, cuz I certainly will if I can get a rig of some sorts.

what kind of card is it?

who got tickets? see you motherfuckers on the floor!!

Hells yeah, Section 210, Balcony Reserved Seats Row D
now to buy binoculars.

i think ill have a + 1 as well.

So... who's taping St. Paul? Anyone yet?

so is anyone interested in meeting up before the show or anything?

Perhaps. We will see in September and preparations may come to fruition.

Who's from where around here? Funny, as over the weekend I was just in Ames, Des Moines, and Iowa City.

Near Wisconsin Dells, WI but not in it. (What, you think I'd really give this board my actual location? Cmon...)

Edit: Certainly interested in meeting some folks before the show though.

i live in ames.

I broke down in Stuart, IA last year on a trip to Denver.

I'm not sure which was worse... being stuck in Stuart, or actually looking forward to Denver.

I'll be filming (if it is still allowed at that point) from the first row of the balcony or the floor...haven't decided yet. Any help with monopod advice would be welcome as well.

There is at least one audio taper I know who is going so far.

I wonder if billy will mention how they played there (old civic center) in '91 and got booed off the stage by pearl jam fans (or was it rhcp?). A friend of mine went to that show.

do you know the Roy Wilkins' taping policy?

let me know how many people you are bringing with you and ill update the list with it. i bought 2 tickets, im not sure who im bringing yet.

do you know the Roy Wilkins' taping policy?

No taping is their policy.

But that seems to be the policy at every venue I ever went to.

I think when I saw Todd Rundgren there they actually searched us. Who the hell is going to bootleg and then try to sell Todd Rundgren recordings? No one even knows who the fuck he is any more.

BTW if we get together beforehand, I suggest Micky's Diner.

While I will be going with my wife and am not entirely interested in netphoriaMeeting, I may come to Mickey's simply because it kicks 8 kinds of ass.

God help you bastards if you take my seat.

As for taping, if this place is that 'fort-knox-ish' about things, then I'll probably just go and enjoy without trying to sneak anything.

I should look if they have any sort of picture-taking policy either. Dammit i hate search-happy places.

I taped apc and weezer at roy wilkins. Both times I crotched it and was glad I did.

Every venue is anal about taping, especially some in the Twin Cities. You can always get your gear in though...you just have to be creative.

I'm thinking the band's taping policy will override the venue's because that has been the case with other open taping bands I have been to. Pictures are fine at most shows as long as you turn off the flash. That is the biggest pet peeve of the artist on stage and the quickest way to draw attention to yourself.

Common sense is the key.

I think at Todd Rundgren they just checked the front/back pockets. I could've crotched a joint (when I still smoked,) but if I had taken it into the venue, your parents would've ratted me out. Talk about a bunch of washed-up hippies... I've never seen so many polo shirts.

While I will be going with my wife and am not entirely interested in netphoriaMeeting, I may come to Mickey's simply because it kicks 8 kinds of ass.

God help you bastards if you take my seat.

You sure you don't want to meet us ahead of time? I'll be the one with the full headgear and thick-rimmed glasses with masking tape at the corner.

It's not like we're all freaks of nature. I'm married with a child too, Wasabi. As far as I know, I'm perfectly normal.

Considering I've had some very unpleasant internet-->IRL meetups in the past, I'm tentative to embark on such a thing. Although you do have a point, on the internets, it's just as hard to gauge one's normal side as it is to make an accurate assessment of their 'weird-factor'.

I don't have lasers coming out of my eyeballs, like your avatar indicates of you/t3h b0lly.

Though my avatar looks like Ronnie Milsap with a cocktail, I don't look like that either.

mneh i've got till october to feel sociable ;)

If there is going to be a meet-up, I vote for a very public place with multiple exits lol

Just in case he DOES have lasers coming out of his eyeballs.

I just looked up your info, JC, and realized you're one year + one day older than me, and only one state away.























































Really, this means nothing.

im pretty normal.
this is my myspace:

You are married to Ira Glass?! I love NPR!!

rivers cuomo, the guy from dashboard cofessional, roy orbison (?), etc. hes heard them all. oh and the verizon wireless guy, he gets that one a lot.

This might leave out Mickey's. Personally, I'd elect The Liffy by the Holiday Inn, just across the street from RiverCentre. At least we can jump off the roof when assaulted with each other's freakishness.

There's a new pic on the myspace login page. Bam Margera got fuckin fat. He's starting to look like Phil.

I've got Yoda banging a sheep on my MySpace.


















I guess that means no one wants to meet up with me before the show.

Patience, dear Wisconsonian. We have plenty of time.

CiGarki - you're coming up from Iowa Shitty? My best friend's coming up from down there also. Not that you guys should carpool or anything, but one of your doomed Iowan brethren will be joining you on 218.

no, i went to high school in iowa city, but i go to school in ames. so ill be taking 35.

I'd be more than willing to car pool if anyone wants.

we'll discuss that closer to the date, we still have like over 2 months.

but yeah it would be cool if we could call meet up at the venue, or maybe at a bar near by.

but not spacegirl2007 since she thinks we're all predators. its just the internet dude, what could go wrong?

hey, i like them.
its so iowa stateish of you ;)

my bad it wasn't spacegirl it was jack k. and if one of you comes dressed like that^ ill buy you a drink.

I am totally going to wear that. Mosh pit beware!!

Kinda looks like that hawkman guy on Adult Swim.

*bump*

Anything new developed for St. Paul, folks?

I've been trying to get a guy to tag along. He's about 6'7." I told him to shave his head bald, then find the dumbest security guard in the place, and claim that he's Billy Corgan, and needs to get back in the venue.

I don't think it'll work, but it's livening up the office, which is about like stale toast.

Im seeing the pumpkins at V fest sunday. i think im going to save my money and buy (blow most of it) merch at the st paul show.


i have no idea who im going to take to this. i got an extra ticket. i asked one guy who i've been friends with for a long time, and got him into the pumpkins during the machina era (go figure.) and he asked me if there would be a mosh pit like there was at this RHCP/foo fighters show we saw like 7 years ago. i guess he was claustrophobic and wasn't havin it.

i told him him no promises. plus im not a pussy and i get right to the front and, imo, get my moneys worth.

really, thats the problem i run into now adays. even my friend whos going to the virgin festival told me yesterday hes not trying to mosh. he's a jam band friend and is mildly obnoxious about it. im not trying to mosh but i don't want someone pussin out when it comes to crowds being rough.

its hard to take girls to floor seating shows too, i can't believe some of the girls that guys drag into the heart of the floor, and then the chicks get all pissed off that theres big shirtless sweaty dudes bumpin into them. if you can't handle it get the fuck out.

im 22 not 42, ill take an elbow to the side to get a good view of the pumpkins.

Yeah, ditto.

I'm kinda ironing out if anyone wants to tag along... see whether or not I'm really going to stay the night up there.

This dude who's 6'7 doesn't drink, so I'd have a DD if I partook... which is cool.

I'm six 4, an inch taller than corgan. tell 6'7" theres only room for one of our lanky monkey asses at this here rock n roll show.

Maybe we could get dumb-fuck security guards on either side of the building.

Don't forget to shave your head... and wear a toga.

im only 5'5.5" i probably wont be able to see jack.
im still going, barring death or disaster. my husband has been bugging me to tag along but he doesnt even like the pumpkins and its getting on my damn nerves. my sister wants to go but can only go for two days. and then my friend from iowa city has said he'll try to get tickets - we were huge pumpkins fans together back in the day and did crazy stuff to go see them near and far, but now he is flaky as hell so im not counting on him for anything until like 10 minutes before its actually supposed to happen.

It's very awkward when friends get flaky.

Is everyone ok?

hope all are well after the bridge incident

a few of us would have been driving on that bridge come october 2nd :erm:

yeah i assume its going to be a traffic nightmare for a while.

well take a detour coming from ames, for sure

I don't think I would've used it coming from WI...

maybe ^

Well - coming up from Ames, you'd hop on 94E to Kellogg before the bridge area of 35W . So no one will have to deal with that area.

I work in downtown Mpls on the top floor of a building; I saw the whole damned thing as it happened Wednesday night. Really incredible. But honestly, it hasn't changed my own traffic routes too drastically.

Screwy thing is that I had a dream on Sunday night wherein I was in my car, on a collapsing bridge. Same night, I also had some dream involving Tom Snyder, who died the next day. Upon discovering that Ingmar Bergman was also dead, I mentioned to some friend that this particular generation of iconoclastic filmmakers was gone. Then I paused and said, "Wait...Antonioni is still alive." Antononio died the next day.

Will I use my powers for good or evil? I don't know.

That's kinda freaky deaky.

I don't think the kids still say freaky deaky.

add me to the list. i'll be there ***

Me to and I agree on The Liffey. Maybe have a few pints before and after the show.

add my ass to the list as well.
good times shall be had

Hmm, Zelda avatar?

close..
mario =]

2?

first appearance in 2.

Ah yeah, you're right... but it seems to me that the character was used in another "Nintendo" release. IE.. not Capcom, but Nintendo. I feel my geekiness waning more and more every day.

so are we serious about a get together? Let's vote on a place, and how many people to expect. I am going to bring some shows and stuff.

i'd be down for something.
that is if something were to happen.

The Liffy is very practical for pre or post show. St. Paul is a little blah, in terms of fun times, unless you want to see where F. Scott Fitzgerald lived and have a scenic walk. Tuesdays are a pretty dull night in Minneapolis, other than 2fers at the Triple Rock on Cedar. For those that would come a day early, there's Hard Mondays at the Saloon downtown; a day later, there's Transmission at Club Jager, both of which are capable of producing OK times.

yeah im down. i still have a ticket to sell to a friend. not sure who to ask.


and i saw the pumpkins last sunday. we are in for a fucking treat.

there's Hard Mondays at the Saloon downtown

Yes, everyone should definitely go to the Saloon.

yeah im down. i still have a ticket to sell to a friend. not sure who to ask.

GA or Balc?

ga. my friend who's into them is clostrophobic and can't handle ga. i can and will, so i gotta find a buddy that can man the fuck up and take a boot in the face to watch corgan shread. i put up with it sunday with 80,000 people.

How far is Triple Rock from the venue? I think that would be a good choice, and you're right, nothing happens in St. Paul.

Last time my wife and I were up to Minneapolis, we went through St. Paul on a Saturday night, and it was like they rolled up the sidewalks at 5:00 and went to bed.

So.. I guess what I'm saying is if Triple Rock ain't far, that's my vote.

Well, you'd probably have to get on the freeway. It's not CLOSE, but no more than ten minutes (hop on 94W, get off on Cedar and park around Augsburg College. In this sense, it's probably more practical for an AFTERSHOW place, (traffic on 94 is a little aggravating 3-7, and, well, I'm planning on trying to get close to that stage) whereas The Liffy or one of the DT St. Paul bars by XCel would serve for getting a little pre-show buzz.

I'm just hoping I am well-rested beforehand, as I've just learned that I'm seeing The Cure in Chicago on Saturday the 29th, which means I'll probably forego Arcade Fire on the 30th at Wilkins, but hell with it.

Schweet... Cure >>>>> Arcade Fire

I've forgotten already whether or not someone is taping the Minneapolis show. I was just talking on the trading board about acquiring equipment if no one else is going to have a rig there.

do it up ^

For pre-show, just go to McGoverns. It's three blocks down West 7th from the X and they'll no doubt be playing SP and have a decent menu and beer list. Of the bars in the area, it's where I prefer to go for pre-partying.

After show- yeah, go to Minneapolis.

^ i think i've been to that place before. its a micro-brew with their own beers, right?

like i said i have friends going to this show who live in MN and i've seen several shows in the twin cities with them. the best so far was hennepin 1998. ;)

sounds like you guys haev a good group lined up.

I don't think they have their own brews. Lots on tap, but none of it their own, IIRC.

id be down for that, although i still would have to hit up cossetta's. probably some of the best pizza around town that u can find

Well they're right by each other so you can bar hop. Amazing, that.

what is st paul pizza like?

i hope my sister can go so i can make her come meet freaky internet people with me.

OOGABOOGA

whats your sister's stats?

what is st paul pizza like?

round :p

McGoverns sounds close and decent then eh?

Other than being round, I imagine St. Paul pizza to be quite like that of Minneapolis pizza, only with all store-brand ingredients bought with food stamps.

BTW I'm asking the boss today if we've got a portable minidisk or DAT recorder with inputs. If that doesn't work out, I'll check out traders den or something. I dunno. We'll get this show on the road one way or another.

I'm in central WI near Wisconsin Dells, so if you know someone with some shit I could borrow, drop me a line yo diggity bizam.

whats your sister's stats?

her boyfriend is a ninja.

Is he also a Teenage Mutant Turtle?

Only a cheesehead would say something that asanine. St.paul's Punch Pizza is as good as any pie I've ever had in Chicago, let alone Minnehopeless.

mmmm... cheese

So are we doing this in St. Paul or Minneapolis?

As long as I get my Jamba Juice fix beforehand, I don't care.

Anyone want some cheese? I've got an internationally renowned goat and sheep cheese maker here in town.



Edit: St. Paul sux.

shame on you guys. Grand Ave is where it is at! (or whatever the kids say)

eh...

In Saint Paul, Grand Ave is where it's at, sure. But places like the Tavern, Wild Onion, Billy's, etc, just don't compare to most of the good places in Minneapolis.

It is nice only being a few blocks away from them, though. Being able to walk home after a night of drinking is always a plus.

I guess I am biased because I used to work at Bolly's on Grand.

i vote st. paul because driving in minneapolis sucks.

i vote st. paul because driving in minneapolis sucks.

i actually have a harder time driving in st paul...
probably because im less familiar with the area

i vote st. paul because driving in minneapolis sucks.

True dat yo.

Edit: I'd also like to add

For real B.

Is anyone confirming that they'll tape this show?

i'll tell you what, im gonna be pretty fucking stoked here in a few weeks for this.

I been stoked since I got my ticket.

word. i saw them the begining of august so that kinda satified for a bit. but this will be so much better. soon as i figure out who to take.


who are you guys taking? bf/gf? good friend? stranger? that one guy?

Take a tape deck. I still haven't heard of anyone taping this one. I haven't had a lot of luck locating a rig either.

http://www.bassboy.com.au/getreel/site/samples/cc/x1000r/images/x1000r.jpg

Sneak this bitch in. Just crotch it. They won't check you dude. They're cool.

Best friend from out of town; crazy current sometime girlfriend; ex-girlfriend from out of town; best friend in town, who hates crazy current sometime girlfriend, who mutually hates best friend in town, but really wants to meet ex-girlfriend from out of town. Meanwhile, crazy current sometime girl also wants to meet best friend from out of town, oblivious to the fact that he wants nothing to do with her because she's...crazy. I just want to get close to the stage and rock out.

Best friend from out of town; crazy current sometime girlfriend; ex-girlfriend from out of town; best friend in town, who hates crazy current sometime girlfriend, who mutually hates best friend in town, but really wants to meet ex-girlfriend from out of town.

memories...

was kinda looking forward to seeing the cure and the pumpkins in the same week...
but the cure flaked, so i havent the need to go to chicago now :(

That sucks big time.

hay guys!

we could hang out at one of the bars at the airport, and then totally pick up a US Senator!!

best idea yet

they're so expensive though :erm:

I'm sure them US senators have some extra cash on hand

Nice one JK. Like he'd fall for the same setup twice. Obviously we're dealing with a smart cookie here.

"I am not, nor have I ever been gay. No more questions."
*steps down from the podium*
"And again, I'm not gay."
*mumbles* "Not gay, I'm not... I'm NOT... I'm not gay.. I'm... Not... Gay..."

You know, I think that he should just admit, that every once in a while, a US Senator gets a taste for cock in his mouth. It's happened before, and will happen again.

I guess this should be on the politics board. But eh.

so i just left my husband and my financial situation is less than great.
i already have my tickets which are paid for so ill be there for sure but im thinking about cancelling my hotel reservation possibly.
but i will be there.

what kind of rate did you get for the hotel?

sorry to hear about your husband.

Yeah that sucks Spacegirl.

I'm pretty sure my plans are to stay with a friend of mine up there, but I guess I'm gonna wait till it gets closer. You realize we're only one month away now? A-freakin'-mazing.

Sorry about your husband, spacegirl. That sucks :(

If you have an extra ticket, I'd be willing to take it off your hands. I don't think my radio station friend is going to come through for me.

I just sent an e-mail out to a guy at a neighboring radio station to see if he knew anyone with a minidisk or dat recorder I could use for the show.

If anyone else knows someone or plans on doing it themselves, give us a sine, yo. I've never taped before so I'm only guessing at what I'm getting into.

Had a nightmare about this gig the other night guys. Thought I had missed it entirely because it was October 4th or something. Took me a good five minutes to remember this is the month of September and I'm just working on projects for October.

Weird stuff.

Anyway, couldn't get ahold of that guy at the country station, gonna try a radio group that's surrounding us to see if they've got any equipment I can bum for a day. Perhaps they can prove they're not huge assholes like they come off as most of the time.

Anyone else taping? Say somethin' fah criest's sayke. We're less than a month out.

true! no im not taping, i never have and would probably fuck it up. all i know is the best spot to do it is by the mixing booth, which supposedly has the best music to crowd noise ratio.


so when should those of us serious enough to meet up decide upon this? midway this month? im pretty stoked. who on my list is coming by themselves?


also, spacegirl2007 what became of your reservation of that hotel? im thinking hotel might be a good idea.

i still have the reservation for two nights, i can cancel anytime i think up to 24 hours before the reservation. ill have to double check! the hotel was expensive though, if i end up staying both nights it will be like $350.

wow. what hotel was it? i really don't want to drive back.

its the holiday inn rivercentre.
its like right across the street from the venue.
i need to figure out if my sister really wants to go, if she doesnt then i might go just for the concert or stay just the one night. except i really want to go shopping...except im totally broke so i guess thats out anyway.

You COULD go cheaper, or rough it. Someone, somewhere here should have a couch. Otherwise you guys could pool your money, take the chance that you won't annoy each other, and split it evenly.

However, the Liffy, by the Holiday Inn, is awesome. So sell some plasma and have fun.

yeah im in a bad spot because i either don't want to give this ticket to someone or they can't go. im picky because im not going to let anyone ruin my sp experience again.

i don't know why you would stay more than one night

if anyone has an extra floor ticket, I still need one

anyone know the wilkin's policy on photography?

anyone know the wilkin's policy on photography?


Hi --

The Roy Wilkins Auditorium allows non-professional/no flash photography for concerts (although the last few times I've been to concerts at the RW, camera flashes were going off left and right so it didn't seem to me as if the "no flash only" policy is stringently enforced. :) )

I hope they're not some place that's like... hey you have a wide angle lens, get the fuck out.
cuz this is definitely not professional quality ... i'm a fucking amateur but still if people see an attached lens they think OMG! sniper!

*end retarded comment*

I'd be more worried about the lasers coming from your eyes than the wide angle lens.

i can zap the clothes right off ginger

so do you guys want to meet here?

im thinking about selling my tix. is GA sold out?

yeah. i thought so, check ticketmaster.

GA has been sold out for awhile

Sounds good to me.

Damn, I just realized how soon this is already.

are you going andy?

We're just over a week out.

are you going andy?

yeah.

I'll be seated, though. The person who bought the tix just had a baby and at the time tix went on sale she was all nervous about standing and shit, so she didn't even try for gen admission. Which I am OK with, but it woulda been nice to be on the floor.

I don't even remember where we're sitting, though.

im pretty curious to see this venue. and im stoked for this pizza place.

Uh, the Wilkins sucks. I wish they'd play Northrop or the State rather than here. It's a fucking cavern.

oh don't say that dude. are you pretty stoked for the show or so so?

Can't really say that I'm stoked. I'll be fine when the show hits, and happy to see Pumpkins songs live again, but I'd be lying if I said I was excited about it.

I felt the same way going to see Roger Waters at the X in June, though, and his show was just fantastic. Hopefully the Pumpkins can do the same.

Hey Andy... you know anyone bringing a rig to the show? So far no dice is what it sounds like here on the `phoria.

im trying to sell my two GA tickets at face value. id prefer to sell them both. send me a pm if you're interested.

Heard yesterday Sebastian knows there's a taper for the venue.. so I'm no longer sweating bullets myself. I am still going to try to contact this guy at the next radio station over.. see if he's got anything that may be handy. It never hurts, you know.

quick question, is there a steve and barry's in reasonable proximity to the venue?.

thanks.

Hopefully they've got a Bennigans nearby.

fingers crossed for a mcdonalds.

I'll meet you in the ball pit of the play area.

I'll be the one with the toe socks.

What the fuck is Steve & Barry's? Whatever they are they probably have a website. Look there for locations.


And the closest Bennigans is on the west side of Bloomington, about 20 miles away.


The party's at McGoverns anyway.

Wasabi's makin' me think we should all get hammered on saki at Ichiban's in Minneapolis before the show.

Course driving would be a bit of a challenge.

i still haven't decided on how much i'm going to drink ahead of the show.
but afterwards, i'll most likely drink myself into a coma

any estimates on how late the show might go to?
