Merriweather Post August 12th - Roll Call

[peafunk31]

Sweet! That's awesome you'll be there Capt! Looking forward to tomorrow like none other

[headhunter]

last year we were in the pav as well (clautrophobic, remember) but i seem to remember ALady, Sass, Ky, and Kenny leaving the tailgate to get online much earlier than I wanted them to :(  This year, we will just bring the tailgate to the line!

youll want to get there at a decent time. i was at the gate probably around 430 and there was a good group of people there. and this is why i hate that the doors open at 530.

430, jeebus...dont know if I can line up that early.

Can anyone who waited in line last year give some first hand intel on this? how many were in line, how many wandered in shortly after doors open, etc. I cant imagine more than a quarter of the pit being full by like 630 or so, as I think I remember people saying last year the pit holds 1000+

We lined up, jogged to the pit and when I looked back to see how many people came in that early, it wasn't even 1/4 of the way full. Maybe 3-4 people deep along the front rail. It also wasn't jammed tight in the pit either....room to move.

Remember to let all the short people go up front.  These things are size-order ya know.

I have an extra "pit" ticket I got through RollCall™. Anyone interested shoot me an email.

[BIGVICLBI]

Bought my tix thru roll call on the pre-sale date and can't seem to find them. I assume they will be at will call, anyone else know if that was the only option so I can feel better about my idiocy?

Pretty sure will call is the only way. I'd search for the confirmation in your email and bring the printout. I had to search for "artist arena" to find mine.

last year the opener was at 8 and MMJ was 9.  11 pm curfew.

We left JD Bartender's tailgate around 6:45 and got to venue at 7.   Doors had opened at 6:30 and our thinking was to let the line work itself out.   It worked well as we walked right in and into the pit, which was about 3 deep at that point.    I was pleased as punch that we hadn't left any earlier, and in fact my friend Sean pointed out at 7:30 that if we had arrived then we wouldn't have been much further back.    So my observation for what its worth was that there was a hardcore faithful getting there early, than a lull for a while.   By the time BHJB came on at 8, it was crowded... and a final beer run at 8:30 proved very difficult.

thanks g33ta..this makes me feel much better about my preshow strategery.

Since I couldn't strong arm any of my friends into going to the show... can't teach taste... I'll be driving down solo from the Harrisburg, PA area.  If anyone wants to carpool let me know.  I took a half a day and can leave anytime after 12:30 and 2:30 at the latest.

PM me if interested.

Despite the fact I'll be about 4,500 miles away, even I'm getting excited about this one tonight!  Have a great evening guys.

[capt. scotty]

cant sleep (yes, this is unusual for me). totally stoked to suddenly have a Jacket show on hand. havent seen any of you good peoples or the Jacket since T5, so maybe it was just meant to be I missed the Pittsburgh show. its looking like a boilermaker, then a couple more hours of sleep, then road time.

Dang I woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep due to being stoked. :coffee:  ....  ....

[lil sis]

Hitting the road soon.  I'm so excited to be going back to where I saw my first Jacket show last year.  Ready to put show #10 under my belt.  Can't wait to see everyone! 

[parkervb]
