What time are you going?
Is this going to be your son's first show?

No prob on the info. Been going this venue too long to not heed the warnings to everyone else. Not sure about time yet, but I would guess sometime between 3 and 4. My son actually is not coming to this show. Sunday is a school night for him. He is going Saturday in Chula instead.

Can't wait to see you, and everyone else Sunday!!!

Well, I guess you can party it up more on Sunday then!
Cool about Chula though.

I think I've found tickets!

this is a total shot in the dark but where un at the gorge? and if so where u on the hill N3?

[matthewdaves187]

I found a ticket on stubhub (kind of expensive $80 + other crap) and I'll be sitting in Sec. 4 or Loge 4 can't wait. I'm hoping to hear Seek Up because they never play it at that venue, I've heard Help Myself on the other hand nearly every time I've gone. They'll probably open with Proudest Monkey is my guess.

Scott, here is the 411 on the tailgate. People are also heading over the Rectum, er, Spectrum before the show to watch some football.

Mornin' everybody! Two days and ticking away slower and slower... I am so freakin' pumped!

[whodat]

Morning gang. Anyone else feeling that the didn't miss anything by not going to the Greek? I know the venue is small and all, but outside of the usual energy we all love about the band, from what I am hearing from people I know that went to the shows, all in all is was good, not great. So, hopefully Chula and Irvine find some love over the next few days.

I loved N1, but I'm so glad I didn't do all the driving again for N2! I'm sure it was great, but I think it would have been a disappointment for me compared to the previous night. Phew, I finally picked the right night! (last year missed N1 at the Greek)

I am sure the drive from SD sucked for you. Outside of the HB shows in 2007, LA is very hit and miss. And more miss on album tour years. Just look at the Dodger Stadium show, sans John Popper on WWYS, for the Everyday tour.

Yah, the drive sucked, but totally worth it.
Irvine will be much better. Actually it's about the same distance as Chula for us. Just talked to Dave and he is in for the show!
Now I just need to get tickets. I think my other ones fell through.
By the way, WHERE IS EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD??? The show is in 2 days!!

[mattpurc7]

Obviously Dave was holding back a little at the Greek knowing all of us are going to Irvine this weekend, lol!

Great to hear Dave is on board for the trek to Pleasentville. Keep working on getting some tixs and see you on Sunday.

I like your way of thinking.

[mattpurc7]

Man, the last few hours of work are ticking by so slow! Time knows I am eager to start my vacation!!!!

[tazeeee]

I hope Dave can still sing for Chula and Irvine. He was definitely hurting last night. I thought he looked bad. Super tired and like he did not feel well.
He was struggling with his voice. IMO

[ZMB]

It is 2 days, 8 hours, 2 minutes and 40 seconds until Sunday, September 13, 2009 at 7:00:00 PM

holler

[whodat]

Alrighty folks, won't be around much between now and Sunday. Looking forward to some tailgate action in the lots. Then inside to another stellar Socal DMB show.

[daffy411]

Yeah! 2 nights at the Greek and now Irvine!
Can't make it to Chula though :O

Maybe we'll finally hear a Two Step closer?
I'm still holding out Halloween.

[whodat]

Not holding my breath for Halloween, but Two Step is great this year. Heard N1 in Vegas and it was unreal. Irvine might melt if they played Two Step.

You smoked out???? No way! Ha- that show I was completely sober. I was 17 and had not yet discover alcohol. I ran w/ the good kids and we showed up at the show, went to our seats, danced our asses off, and then went home. BORING! JK....the show was great. Of course.
