There's a new BBC restaurant opening right across the street from the yum center.  I say let's do it there.  I'll get there fairly early and try to save all the seats I can.

I'm nearly as jazzed to hear about another BBC location in town as I am to attend another Jacket concert this year.   [smiley=bath.gif] For the out-of-towners BBC is the local beer establishment and this is obviously a prime location.  A few oat sodas ought to prime the pump for some musical merriment.

That sounds like a solid plan to me.  I may need to take a half day in order to help hold seats.  

Oh, and by hold seats I mean drink beer.

All are definitely welcome!

I hear the new spot is pretty nice and pretty large.  I haven't checked it out yet, but that's what I hear.  Looking forward to meeting some new peeps and catching up with some familiar ones.

No doubt.  My wife has been on them for a few years, catching them open for the black crows.    Thursday was my first time seeing them live and Wow!!  We will be going to Indy Dec. 3 to see that again.

I'm gonna head down after work and hopefully grab a hold of as many seats as possible.  I'll be there by 5.  With two openers I expect them to start on time and I want to catch both openers.

4th is pretty populated all the way down.  Should be safe.  Otherwise you can easily get a cab at the hotel.

Don't tell me you're planning on skipping wax fang!  That is a can't miss set!  I'd like to catch LYO, too and check out the local village so I don't think 5:00 is too early at all to get some food and beers before heading over. I'll probably head over to the arena at 6:30 or 7:00.

I haven't been to the new bbc yet but I could imagine they get a pretty decent crowd after work on a Friday.  Plus seems like lots of people get off their office jobs early on Fridays.  5 may be pushin' it if you are planning on saving some tables.  I'll be there about 3 to get a peaceful meal and to start the night asap.

Doors open at 6, show starts at 7:30, and the local village inside the arena opens at 3, so there won't be any waiting at the gate.  I'm going to try to get there ASAP but I don't get off work till 4.

Again, look for the Reds cap.

Hi Tater.  Maybe we could connect in the lobby at 4:00 at the Brown?  Let me know.  I'm about to board a flight, but should be at the Brown by 3:00 or so.  Hopefully I'll have an internet connection, and we could connect via PMs or something.

I thought the local village is outside under the second street bridge next to the arena.  I think I heard that on the Ket special that was aired the other day?
