Merriweather Post August 12th - Roll Call

[mahg33ta]

UGGHH.   Awful luck.

My parents live in MD and I'm due to a visit home to see them - been dragging my feet on scheduling it.    Pretty much the ONLY days I couldn't do this this summer are Aug 11 and 12 due to a once-a-year work conflict.

This has me really bummed as Merriweather last year was fantastic - and now knowing so many of you from MD and NYC would make the pit even crazier.    But there's zero hope.    I guess I know how the T5 thread avoiders felt last year.  Have a blast, but I'm not going to read any more about this show.

[Quadrophenic]

Anyone know how many tickets will be sold for the GA pit and how big of a pit is it?

Probably not much help but it's a pretty big pit though I'm not sure I could peg a number.  All I know is everyone who wanted pit tix during the general sale got 'em last year no problem. 

[headhunter]

Anyone not planning on being in the pit?

Remember, it's size order up by the stage folks.  ;)

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

Me and my 6'1" frame will be in the pit, right in front of Jim, just like last year.

[Sassbox]

And I will hopefully be right next to you with my half-eaten hot dog, just like last year. Only this year, my back works!

Speaking of which, I did not join Roll Call. Would anyone here be willing to get me a pre-sale pit ticket? I would, of course, be happy to send payment in advance via check or PayPal. If so, would you kindly e-mail me at leperilloux at aol dot com? I don't get a chance to get on the board too much these days.

Dankie!

Does anyone thing this presale will sell fast?

I'm looking forward to this show....I know I have one in my hometown but this venue is classic...

I'm at the Sheraton as is headhunter and a few others. I got the room for $112.00 inc tax AAA rate.

I stayed there last year too. Nice hotel and walking distance to MPP.

[kotchishm]

I stayed in the Springhill Suites last year and it was an awesome and cheap hotel.  Sheraton this year though because you can walk to MPP.

Ill have to look into that hotel. thanks. I've never been there so I wasn't sure if there was a way to walk from hotel to venue.

Springhill is not walking distance (about 4 miles) the Sheraton is about 0.8 miles (10-15 minute walk away.  If I'm not mistaken the Sheraton is the only one that is really in walking distance the others are over a mile.

[tdb810]

The Sheraton is booked!!!!! Yay! Thanks for the reminder HH!

Won't be the same without Mag33ta and Sean Riley though  :'(

This is my hometown venue - 15 min max door to door.  I was in the pit last time with a bunch of friends.  I'll see how I do in Roll Call presale.

Apparently, I have been removed from the attendance list.
