;D

c'mon cancellations!  start rollin in now, please.

EDIT: and if all else fails, i love trish's VIEWING PARTY idea 
perhaps take over a local establishment & call the news folk incessantly until they realize what an amazing story of fandom it is (seriously, there are enough of us) & have our story make the evening news.  good exposure for the boys to boot!

yes!

And just putting it out into the universe -- I have the DAY OFF in case there are any last minute cancellations or partners who can't make it.  I can be in the city in 30 mins. 

But, I feel strangely calm and ok with the fact that I probably won't witness this first hand.  I am so happy for those who will be, and happy that it will be documented for those who won't.  Have I mentioned that I love this band?

if you're coming into the city, we need to meet up regardless!

[ALady]

Shooooot.

Just found airfare for $248 r/t.

Should I go for it?

I'd be in for something like this!

If that back up plan involves hanging out with you and Val...it's very tempting indeed

i understand that the people in charge of this event wanna keep the location a secret. however, i would hope that the forum members would want as many true fans at the event as possible; in case there are any cancellations.
being that this is a corporate-y event (comp'd tickets, vh1 interns, etc), i'm praying that some of these fools don't show up, therefore allowing a few diehards waiting outside to take their place.
now while i'm new to the forum, i am not new to Jackets music. and i hope that when the location is revealed to ticketholders tomorrow, that someone has the decency to shoot me an email.
i'm gonna be in NYC thursday w/ a friend.. lemme know if there are any preshow (or aftershow) get-togethers planned.
i look forward to meeting all of you in person.

makes you wonder what it would have been like if they gave an open invitation for anyone who wanted to be at the taping, and waited to pick the venue until after they got a gauge of how many fans wanted to be there.

but since they are doing this taping for so many bands.. i think they kind of had to scale it to the size they could manage (pay for it) at.. sad that VH1 (even though i detest most of the shit they play on that channel these days) doesn't have the funds like a bastard station like FOXnews.

haha trust me interns are not getting tickets to this show... i work for MTVN (been there 8 years or so) and am trying to tickets, someone I work closely with at VH1 is trying to hook me up and has even said these are in high demand, for example I know some Senior Directors who couldnt get tickets.

[kydiddle]

It's too close to the date for me to make last minute arrangements if they contact me. I'll put all my good energy towards you NYC folks, hoping you get a call! I'll dedicate my yoga practice tonight to you, too.  Now I'm just excited for it to air!

[marshmeli]

My request is next on the list at VH1, if someone bails I am in... I am hoping someone does.

As for the location of the event it is in East/Spanish Harlem

Disagree w/ the whole "decency" comment. Sorry. Just don't think it's cool to try to pressure people.  Rather, be a class act, which you most likely are in person & just go for the post taping meet up. You'd get to meet some nice folk & get a buzz off of the post show glow  :)

We need a full report from anyone who is lucky enough to get the golden ticket to get into Storytellers.  And by full report, I mean full setlist, banter, questions by the audience, etc.  VH1 is known to cut these performances to shreds to fit them in an hour TV broadcast.  For example, the Foo Fighters Storytellers showed only six songs when they played much more than that.  If this is to be a history lesson by the band, then we need a dedicated reporter to let us all know the stories behind these cherished songs.  Thanks in advance!

Anyone taping this? You think they'll let us plug into the soundboard or put a tree in front of a camera?
