I pussyfooted and missed out on the parking pass...hell it shall be...

Two solutions:

1. Call TM and make sure your name is on the list. Last year we were driving to the show Fromm pittsburgh on the day of. In the middle of backwoods VA I’m driving along and shout OH SHIT I left the parking pass at home. My wife called TM and gave them our order confirmation number. Our name was on their clipboard when we pulled in. No hard copy needed.

2. I think you can go into your events page in your TM profile and just print a PDF.

If today is any indication of the weather that we're in store for, it's going to be hot and miserably humid. Yay summers in Virginia!

Did you expect anything other? If so, how could you?

I'll have to borrow a pair of dry-fit underwear from Uncle Ed

I'm sure they will still be nice and cakey for you too!

Thunder storm and hail just passed through the area, so now we’re talking.

Right on cue!

[zefarrett]

There’s no way it could storm like it did last year. That was unreal.

Yes... Yes there is.

Where there's a will there's a way.

Yeah, the sheet is severely lacking thus far. C'mon folks! What are we doing out there! Sign up!

[Foreverford05]

I know at least 4 avatars from that list that have moved way out of the area. we definitely picked some up last year but have no idea who they are, haha. hopefully they find their way back

Really contemplating adding this show to get the bad taste of Nashville out of my mouth. Does Bristow usually get good sets? Any recommendations for a long weekend as well?

Middling...based on dmbalmanac's rarity ranking. The shows we've seen have been good, even last year. It's the site of Roi's last show and the only VA/"home" show currently scheduled for this year... Hopefully they do something special this year but we just go to enjoy the band, knowing that we'll really enjoy at least 75% of the show.

I hear the tailgate's great, but we've yet to take part...

[Foreverford05]

I would not add Bristow if you're chasing a great show. I would however, add bristow if you're down to have a great time with some ants and MIGHT take in a great show. We're a pretty inclusive bunch

Also will be 145 degrees and hurricaning, so if that's not your style, skip.

HA!

Joe Lawlor is almost guaranteed to guest with them too (being the only VA show). He's a great guitar player and a fun guest.

ahhh memories! I still have that spreadsheet (and a few other Bristow tailgates'... plus Hershey 2009 strangely enough... LOL) in my Google Sheets "recents" list.

[Foreverford05]

Another week closer my Friends!

[grilldanmo]

Just did the Mans/ford b2b, and the band is sounding great. Looking forward to the home show...

Our sets, as others have said, can be hit or miss. Last year we had a monsoon that delayed the show forever, and there's a hard curfew there (which they were allowed to go past last year due to the delay) so it was a short show, so maybe they'll make up for it this year? I still haven't forgiven them for leaving both JTR and Virginia in the Rain off of last year's set based purely on weather.

If you just want to have a great time regardless of the set, you should definitely join us. We throw a great tailgate, and always have a good time. The more the merrier, you can sign up in the spreadsheet linked in my (and Matt H's) signature.

[Hilly]

As much as people like to complain about sets, its important to remember that Bristow has received over 14% of all Spoons played full band over the past 8+ years.

I'm not great at quick math... Is that exactly 1 play?

Well, Yes.

[zefarrett]

The tailgate is the best part. I’d be totally content with even paying for tickets and just tailgating the whole damn time. MOAR BEERZ AND BEARZ!

[DMBfireDncr41]

Really looking forward to this show. Purchased 4 lowers as a group and rather than resell the second pair I convinced an old buddy and his girlfriend to meet us for the weekend from NYC. We are staying in DC but definitely want to get the lots early for the tailgate. First show I've attended in VA!

EDIT: Also a plethora of Other Half beers coming down with my buddy have been confirmed.

I haven't made a trip out to OH in a hot minute...

I should do that some time soon....

[unccrombie]

Anyone have 2 extra pits, adding this show last minute...

[DMBPosters]

Been super busy lately and have been meaning to hit up these boards but super stoked for Bristow and can't wait for the show!

Signing up for the tailgate as we speak!
