blame your parents for not getting it on early enough so you could make it to this

Welp, just pulled the trigger on tickets....not sure if I should have waited longer but here's what I got:

Sec. 205 Row KK Seats 1-2

$171+fees/shipping-discounts=$175x2=$350 in my hand.

I know prices are gonna drop but this is dead center and every other list is mostly balcony or way stage right/left and prices are still a lot higher right now. Maybe I should have waited, who knows. But it's piece of mind.

Now on to the pre-party!!!!

Thanks for all the kindness and generosity y'all have shown me!

yeah i feel the same way, luckily i got tix for face for a fellow ant, but there is always that thought that you could get something better, but it just feels better to have tix in hand and to not have to worry.

That's not too bad at all. You've got aisle seats and you're 11 rows back in your section. It'll be great!

Another quick update....

The Oakdale, as you already know, is a CASH ONLY establishment for drinks/food. They do have a couple ATM's there but the lines are always looong (and you don't want to miss a second more than you have to!).

Good new is, we have an ATM here at the restaurant. The fees are less!

With tickets in hand, I'm really getting amped up for the show...and to meet all you fellow Ants! As of now, I have over 60 Ants (guests included) reserving tables....awesome! I have some great DVD shows that will be playing (thanks to Mr. Copperpot!) that I am looking forward to seeing as well.

There will be a raffle to be in a DMB Trivia Contest to win a rad wooden cooler from Angry Orchard. So brush up on your obscure DMB facts!


See you all next Saturday!

Lucky for me I turn 21 on November 17, what a way to celebrate! Now I just have to find a pair of tickets for me and my girlfriend. Does anyone know a reliable place for fans to get tickets that doesn't involve me getting screwed over by a scalper?

I'm going to both shows alone (it's my own celebration for the end of student teaching...I'm going to get some great videos), so I don't mind whatsoever. Just contact me if you wish.

I'm also going solo, coming from Buffalo so I'll problem see everyone at the bar!!

[tsouth11]

Happy Hour? Yes please...

We'll be there!

[mlobster78]

Harpoon Chocolate Stout or Winter Warmer on draft Saturday? Hmmm...decisions decisions. These are FUN decisions!

Almost showtime! Tick tock, tick tock...

I'm glad you've signed up Johnny Scott to play on Saturday...should be a good time!

(He's going to try to get me to do a Nancies intro with him...yeah, that's not happening.)

[KAK1154]

Oooh, Harpoon Chocolate Stout, please. I've been digging that Chocolate Bock in the Sam Adams winter sampler pack lately.

The weather is looking in the mid to upper 50's so I will have the deck open for tables...especially good for you smokers (cough, cough).

Making the song playlist as I type....

[Cscottrun]

I'll probably be stopping by with my girlfriend. Well probably just have an appetizer or two and enjoy the atmosphere.
