Do any of you know about the Inn on Broadway? It is almost suspiciously cheap (~$65)

I have never stayed there but it's close and looks good.

This just reminded me of something ridiculous. I was looking for a hotel for on the way to Waka cause we have to be there early in the morning for volunteer work during pre-fest  and I read the review of one like an hour away from Ozark that read this.....

"A great place if you're a fan of crack or homicide" and it was 35$ a night!

just checked ticketmaster, seems to be quite a few seats still unsold, which befuddles me.

i'll save the wisecracks about lexingtonians and their lack of musical taste until i see how big the crowd really is sunday night.

Still looking for a ticket---any ideas other than the section X left through TM?

Go for it! We tasted a few of BBC's bourbons before the Yum show.

They were all really good,and we tried more than our share. ;)

i will check around, but i dont really know many people who are going.  are you already coming, or is this a game time decision on flight/road trip?

I'm REALLY excited to see this setlist.

I'm REALLY excited to see this setlist.

Someone told me that Jim was quoted in RS saying that they wouldn't play the new songs until Chicago. 

So I'm thinkin' maybe they'll put some closure on EU by playing the shit out of it before they move forward to the Circuital era.

mixed in with some oldies and a few new ones (friends, circuital, wonderful, maybe one we haven't heard)

Octoplasm live for the first time would be sweeet.

I think I remember reading something after EU came out how Jim wasn't crazy about a lot of their new songs already being known so well before the album came out.  Part of that was due to the leak, but they also played ACL and it aired on NPR.  Didn't he actually end up requesting they take it down until after EU was released?  Anyway, I'm pretty sure he said something about not playing too many songs before they are released again.

I have two general admission tickets that are no longer spoken for, if anyone here is interested. They're not student tickets. (Yeah, I know they say they're not going to check ID's. Just saying it won't be an issue regardless.)

I'm not a scalper.

[ms. yvon]

waddy are you in lexington?  i have a friend who is looking for a ticket.

[Waddy Peytona]

Yes, I live in Lexington. You can contact me off list, but I'll be in and out today, so might not respond right away. Thanks.
