Roll Call - Dec 14th New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden

[WSS2]

4 shows in 2 weeks, all early in the week, all before holidays when people are scrambling to year end crap...will be surprised in any of these shows sell out within a week.  Not any disrespect to SJDK but just looking at the facts

[WSS2]

SJDK tix, check

[oistheone]

I knew being denied for that Amex would come back to haunt me.

Fingers crossed for good luck on Friday...

egads - the roll call for this is insane!

i've been spending as little time on the computer as possible lately, for various reasons, but i scrolled thru each & every page on this thread... so great to see so many names on this list.  it made me so happy:)

hopefully i won't get screwed over again w/ my request to take a 1/2 day on the 14th.  i'm looking forward to hobnobbing w/ my mmj family.  i NEED it

If anyone is planning to stay in the Secaucus/Meadowlands area and rely on the bus back there after the show, be warned that it's very unclear where the late night/early morning buses depart from Port Authority in NYC. 

We recently tried to do that and after 10 PM the buses all go to different gates, but not the gates that the signs say that they go to at that hour.  There was no one working there at that time that could give us a straight answer either.  We ended up missing the last bus due to not being able to find it, and had to take a cab back.

Best bet is to take a N.J.Transit train out of Penn Station NYC to Secaucus Jct. Train Station. $4.00 each way, and only one stop, 10 minute train ride. There is always a line of cabs waiting at Sec. Jct. to take you back to your hotel if your hotel doesn't offer a shuttle. No worries about getting stuck at the station late at night.

Check their site for schedules when it's within 30 days of the days you want to use the train. They add some more trains around the Holidays, but the last weeknight train out of NYC, has been around 1:00am lately.

Man, hate to keep bringing up the Dap Kings in this thread, but apparently these shows ain't your average Sharon Jones gigs. They are a Daptone Records Tenth Anniversary celebration, featuring the Dap Kings plus other Daptone artists to be announced. Color me fucking excited.

There are pre-sale bundles on sale starting right now.

I was having trouble buying single tickets for the show on the 13th, so I just went ahead and bought two "Taco" bundles -- a ticket and an autographed event poster. So looks like I'll have two autographed posters, but whatever, at least my ticket fears are no longer an issue.

Start spreadin' the news, indeed. The Dap Kings and My Morning Jacket -- back to back in the biggest city in the world. Boom.

Hi Eric.  You might not know me on this board, but we shared the T5 Evil Urges show from the rail, and you recently gave me a beer at your car before the Mann center show.  Sounds like I'll see you at at MSG.

Haha!  Great to be able to put a face to the screen name.

I'll be there, and taking one of those trains back to Secaucus Jct. after the show. ;)

Hope to toss another one back with ya.  I'll be at Stout - 133 W. 33rd St. for a bit of pre-show badassery, then over to the show.

Heard New York, New York on my drive to work this morning.  BIG smile on my face today.  :)

I am not 100% confirmed yet but hope to be at this show and if so, crashing in the city that night.  So I hope to meet you in person e_wind (and others I haven't) and I'll be at the bar afterwards!

[NoVa_NoLa]

Alright, 1 down and 1 to go.  Flights for MSG have been booked (thank you Southwest!)!! 

[WSS2]

So will we be getting a longer set? Understand NYE '08 probably won't happen but 3 hours? more?  What are people thinking?

[el_chode]

I'm feelin' a snowy winter, so maybe my feelings will bode well for that plan.
