[EasyRyder]

contacted the Amphitheater. their reply: "Thanks for heads up on the website. It will be a late show. Ending at midnight. Enjoy!"

Nice work, detective.

Well that's that then! Straight from the horse's mouth too, many thanks!

I guess we'll be getting a regular set time  :D

Excellent!  Thanks.

Does that mean that 8:00 is the correct starting time?

I'm thinking of coming out Thursday night and spending the day Friday (and maybe part of the day Saturday) volunteering with some sort of rebuilding effort... Anyone have any suggestions on how to find a group to volunteer with?

I would send a PM to megalicious on this forum:

In light of recent developments, I stand by my earlier "guess" post:

I'd guess we'll get the standard two hour set (maybe a bit less).  Another factor would be Tuscaloosa's curfew, which hopefully will be late as this is on a Friday Night.

Guessing Here:

Phosphorescent goes on from 730 to 815.
Neko Case goes on from 835 to 920.
MMJ from 945 to 11:30 or 12:00 or 1:00 or 3:00.

Yeah I can see 40 minutes for Neko, an hour for Phos, and just over 2 hours for MMJ. Who knows. All I know is that in short festival sets he usually doesn't break out the acoustic guitar, and if he doesn't play Wonderful my mom will be heartbroken.

It'd be pretty fucked up if Phosphorescent got billed above Neko Case.

I know how you mean and see where you're coming from, but Phosphorescent is a GREAT live act (and they are from the region.) They were one of my favorite shows at Bonnaroo.

I meant the opposite, that wont happen. it was a mistake... I love phos though

[sittingcow]

Meant NOTHING negative towards Phosphorescent with my post.

Still time to get your tickets for the show! How often do you get a chance to rock out for a great cause? The United Way is doing a lot to help the long-term relief efforts we need in Tuscaloosa. Hard to believe it's been 100 days since the storm hit...

Is there somewhere close with a decent selection of draft brews?  Meg?  Anyone?

Edit: It looks like there's a Mellow Mushroom about a half mile away.  They always have a good selection of beer and their pizza is great if you're into that whole eating thing.

I can do MM if we get in town in time.  I know darkglow would probably prefer a  Buffalo Wild Wings, but that's another story.  :-X   ;D

lol JT i just now noticed this.. Mellow Mushroom is pretty good but a little expensive for my tastes.. i bought a medium pizza with a sweet tea and 2 local draft beers and it was 40 bucks last weekend.. i'll probably try to find some type of diner on the way into town to gorge myself on and hope to meet up with some of you folks at a watering hole close to the venue

My sentiments exactly. I hope we get a  set with some deep cuts. I've been anticipating this since 'roo. I may try to make the Georgia show on Saturday night.

[bamalamadingdong]

Super excited about this show, as well as the ATL one the night after. Got row A for this show - glad to have my 2x2 square of concrete as well - and am following it up with pit tix for alpharetta.  Should be a good mix.  Got 2 extra pit tix for alpharetta if anyone's interested.

Ten days...
:D

[Jon T.]

I was planning on basically coming in town and straigt to the show.  I just got the whole day freed up for me and I'll be in with time to spare.

Fuck. Yes. 8)

Wish I could be at this one.   Would love to see Jon T and Meg!   Phosphorescent is close to the top of my "Need to see live" list AND Neko.  GTFO!
