damn, I'm thinking about it

Brute Squad · 09-22-2007, 03:44 PM

You have plenty of time to think. I just bought mine. I don't know why they're playing the Backyard. It's too large of a venue.

TuralyonW3 · 09-22-2007, 04:04 PM

ok I just bought a couple. seein them both nights!!

The capacity is 3200. That's not too big is it?

edit: actually it's 3200 for seated, 4,500 for general admission. still i hear it's a pretty great venue right?

It is a phenomenal venue. I absolutely love it.

I would be surprised if they fit 4,500 people in there though! I always remember it to be a relatively small venue.

Especially because the Woodlands show is 17,000 and the Dallas show is like 6,000.

TuralyonW3 · 09-22-2007, 05:17 PM

the woodlands pavillion sucks. it's pretty but the sound is like half as loud as any other venue i've ever been in.

Dude I know. Blah. I wouldn't even be going if my friend could make the other shows, but whatev.

Oh, it looks like EITS won't be opening this show either, according to their website. But since this SP show was just announced, maybe they just haven't announced it yet.

spidersoma · 09-22-2007, 07:03 PM

i'm debating. i'm from austin, but i currently live in dallas. i have pit tickets to it. so ... drive to austin? i simply think one show is enough.

so the show's at 8, i guess that means doors around 7 or so. how early do you guys think you need to show up and get in line?

i fly into DFW friday morning and the plan is to head to austin by 1:30pm. whether or not we get in line right at 4:30pm remains to be seen...i guess we'll see what the situation is, if anyone is meeting up for drinks beforehand, etc.

Nope. I went to high school in Carrollton.

aldango · 09-23-2007, 03:19 PM

Just received an email reply from EITS that they will not be opening this show.

Bummer. No openers in Austin and Dallas?!

im up for bewz

Brute Squad · 10-22-2007, 02:04 AM

Already asked for half the day off from work. I work on south mopac, but honestly have no idea where to get together for drinks. the spec's parking lot?

TuralyonW3 · 10-22-2007, 02:07 AM

I'll probably just be getting there really early with some water and snacks to hold my place in line

aldango · 10-22-2007, 11:23 AM

I have two tickets for sale, btw.

SlingeroGuitaro · 10-22-2007, 07:28 PM

i think i'm bringing beer to drink in the parking lot. if anyone else wants to tailgate, lets party.

Brute Squad · 10-22-2007, 07:59 PM

The Backyard isn't really suited to tailgating anymore. It used to be a venue in the woods, but now it's surrounded by shopping centers and assorted crap.

SlingeroGuitaro · 10-22-2007, 08:43 PM

yeah.. you used to be able to buy mushrooms on the hike from the parking to the venue.

still... beer in the parking lot

I've been wondering the same thing, haven't heard anything from anyone and haven't seen anything posted about openers for either shows. So... hurry up and wait. :]

davin · 10-23-2007, 11:58 AM

can't wait for these texas shows. epscially with the setlists still changing.

so am i correct in my thinking that the backyard is a large GA area vs. the Dallas show which is just a small GA pit up front?

it's settled then. beer in the parking lot.

davin · 10-23-2007, 12:07 PM

kewl. so sounds like it makes sense to show up earlier for Austin, since Dallas is pretty small to begin with and inherently will be a good spot (like the Indiana show I went to...or the seated pit @ Normal).

so Andrew -- are you going to both? i plan on wearing my big lebowski shirt for 1 of the days, in honor of you. hopefully the laundry gods will allow it.

skipgo · 10-23-2007, 01:09 PM

i'm still so bummed i can't get the day off for this show. It's been a long time since I got to see two shows on consecutive nights.

davin · 10-23-2007, 07:23 PM

lol, relax man....i was kidding. it'd just be for identification purposes anyway.

beer and

in the parking lot sounds good. we will be there by 4:30pm or so.
