Where are people meeting up pre-show?  Not sure if there are any good independent bars in that area. The whole CityWalk place looks too corporate for my tastes, but it is close to the venue.

I'm staying at the Blvd Hotel, which has a little bar and I'm thinking about eating dinner either at Ca del Sole http://www.cadelsole.com/menu.php or middle eastern Mantee http://www.manteecafe.com/  (which does not serve alcohol  :'()

I'm also wondering if the bar at the Sheraton is any good (corporate, I know, but its gotta be better than what's at CityWalk).  They've got a happy hour 5-7.  And its close to the venue.

we'll most likely be enjoying some amazing beers at the Blue Palms, Mrs Y's rec for the Panatages show, which proved to be amazing...and it's pretty close to the Gibson as well.

Still in need of 2 Pit tix if anyone has a line on some.

I'm sending a representative since I have no time off from work until the MSG blowout...he will have an amazing time I'm sure.

Hmmm, walterfredo, The Blue Palms is in the opposite direction from the venue from where I'm staying.  Maybe I'll make it there, but I'm not sure.  I would like to meet up with some fans, though.  Its only a couple stops on the Metro and then a short walk I believe.  What time you gonna be there?  Is anybody else in?

I hear they have Pliny the Elder on tap, that sounds good!

   A pre-show celebration sounds soooooo fun, but I cant make any plans until we know with certainty what time the sound check begins. I wonder if they will ask the people attending the sound check to exit the venue after the sound check.  :-\  I pre-show toast in honor to the boys would ideal, but in case I cant make it cheers!!  :beer:

The Blue Palms looks intriguing...lobster mac and cheese and of course cocktails.  It looks to be only about 3 miles from Gibson, so that is a plus.  I'm bringing a buddy who just ripped his shoulder up pretty bad, so we'll probably head to Gibson at doors open so we don't have to fight through the crowd to find a good spot in the pit.  Will check in on the boards later but would assume to be at the Blue Palms about 5 o' clock range.

Walterfredo, I may have one extra pit ticket...don't know if you can use a single, but I'll follow up with you at the beginning of next week.
soft and warm all the time make you want it over and over

I went to the Blue Palms before the Pantages show, and it was way too packed and loud. Could not get a seat or even talk with my friends. Citywalk is corporate, but there was a brewery last time I was there, and it shares a parking lot with the Gibson, which is quite a big plus.

will most likely just hit the Saddle Ranch before the show.  It's right outside the Gibson gate and there is usually a pretty good vibe before shows there.   That way i'll be all parked and good to pre party as well :thumbsup:

If one of my daughters does something like that, she will instantly become my favorite.
