PAGEANT, St. Louis 8/2 roll call

[Crowes74]

Can't wait, I'll be there too.
The pageant was voted 4th  best venue last year,  and it is hard to beat.  Not really a bad view in the house. I've never heard a band sound bad at the pageant either.  The loop is the area the venue is on.  Lots of good bars and tasty food, good record store west of venue also.

... I was told the dead wanted to buy the fox also.  But the owners didn't want "those kinda people" to run it.   She's a gem now, but I think it was really ran down for a pretty good spell in the 80's.  I kinda thought MMJ would play there this go round, pageants kinda small for them.

Back to the subject, after skipping St.Lou on the evilurges tour we ought to get a good one in aug.

seriously, I'm beyond excited after screaming on here at times for 5 years that they were skipping us when they toured.

Imagine if Neko were opening up in STL? You wouldn't get to go b/c they would have buried you from exploding.

btw, we're seeing her next week in Nashville   :)

You are probably right. Homeland Security would have to be brought in to offer protection if I didn't explode.

Man, I would be up there in a heartbeat for this if I wasn't going to already be in Colorado for a backpack trip the weekend before Red Rocks. DAMMIT! Really happy for you guys!

You promised you would meet me in St. Louie!   ;)

You know who should really be upset?  Memphis.  They are still O fer.

Is there a way to find out how much tickets are somewhere yet?   Doesn't matter to me but I'm going to try and get a bunch of my friends to go to this one and I'm worried it's gonna be a bit steep for them.  I may have to come up with a special homemade coupon for two free beers with every ticket purchase!

I would guess less than what was paid for L-ville last fall or Chicago in June. Honestly, if I were a promoter I would price them $35ish. They haven't been here in a while and I think in this case that works against them as they don't quite have the fanbase. But wtf do I know, lol :)

That's the price range I'm guessing also.

At the risk of sounding like an ass, kick ass $25 dollar shows are a dime a dozen over the past few months and they'll have to be somewhat competitive with that I think...plus a lot more shows on the schedule. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised at 25 advance, 30 DOS.

Tix are $36/41

Tix are $36/41

I likes bein right.... and I'm not going to catch to much hell for this.

Look into Off Broadway, Old Rock House, and the Firebird for affordable great shows. I don't think I've seen any show over $20 at any of those 3 locations. All are great and get great acts. I'm partial to Old Rock House as it's across from my office. Hell, BH  and I saw Black Angles and I think my ticket was $12 or $15.

Is there a GA pit or is it all seats?

[mjk73]

Pageant just changed their seating. Everything cept the balcony has always been GA. I think now just the floor is GA.  The elevated table section by the sounboard has always been GA but I'm guessing no longer as it got to be a fight for those choice spots. I only want GA this time

last show I went to was Galactic and the guy from Phish...all the tables and chairs were removed form that soundboard level all the way around,  if you wanted to sit it was the next level up or balcony.

I don't know if that is permanent or what.

any body else going from this to RR, we're flying out on the 3rd and going straight to Primus/F'Lips.

Seriously, August cannot get here soon enough

I've lived in Memphis most of my life and yes it's total shit they've never played there. Memphis is home. I live in Lawrence, KS currently and just decided today, while sitting at the bar, that I'm going to th STL show and the KC show.

I am very happy with this decision.

Cheers!
