Jim James with Carl Broemel at The Colonial Theater - Oct 1

[GO4IT]

Oh and I forgot to mention that Ms GO4IT's roots are in Keene which made this announcement particularly awesome for us.  Both sides of her grandparents grew up and lived there all their long lives - one grandfather as a foreman in one of the classic textile mills and the other side both teachers (paving the way for jYac, no doubt!).
We visited often when we lived in New England.

What a gift, and well-deserved, for the Yacster.  Enjoy and let us know how fantastic it was.

Check PM for my cell number.  I hope we both score tickets.  I have no idea how to guage interest for this event in NH.  I like to think Jim James is a somewhat well-kept secret.

A well kept secret he may be, but free shows are typically not.  Tickets won't be the problem, but I think we'll need to get in line early.   From the theater's site: 

"CAPACITY: 888 seats (42 temporary seats may be added in front orchestra if event technical specs allow for a total of 930 seats)"

Will Barack show up? If people think he'll be there, you might need to take off work early and get there by noon. You might not just be dealing with people that want to see Jim and Carl perform.

People get awfully ugly about politics these days. Attack and villify seems to be the rule for some. It's a shame there isn't real discourse about the issues. There's so much work that isn't getting accomplished because of this attitude.

I'm thinking about making the trek as I'll be able to grab some tickets in Boston today.  However I'm a little nervous about getting into the show.  Google says it's a little over 2 hours away (not including traffic) and I usually get out around 5...

Very cool!

Love the pic of Jim they are using in conjunction with this event promotion. He looks like a friendly lion.

Picked mine up at the Manchester office at 12:30. There were 5 tix picked up before me. Looks like they had a stack of about 150 passes at that location.  It is 'one ticket per person' but not all people need to be present.  You just have to provide contact info for all the people your getting tix for.  I picked up 3.

I grabbed a ticket today and can hopefully knock out of work early on Monday to ensure I can make it up there at reasonable time.

Enjoy the show everyone.

Congrats John. 

Big applause for Jim.
Big applause for Barack.

Big (and jealous) applause for Mr. Yac.  I will live vicariously thru you!

[johnnYYac]

Count, hope to see you there.  I'm also hoping to get to Keene around 3 or 3:30.  Sure hope that's early enough, but I suspect it will be.  Nothing wrong with being in Keene with time on your hands. 

No discussion at all of the President being there.  This is supposedly aimed at the college kids at Keene State as much as anyone.  Hell, I may be the oldest guy there.  I'm ebarassed that New Hampshire gets so much attention from presidential politics, but have enjoyed the opportunity to meet future presidents (and scores of losers).  But now Jim is coming to my doorstep and it cost me a one hour car ride.

Congrats, John!!  Enjoy the show!

This is the perfect Yacertunity!
Please tell me your'e bringing the omnichord! I sense you could have a post show session with Jim! One bonus is you won't see Ted Nugent there... Liking MMJ and bashing Obama seem like contradictions of the soul?
But then again the NH way...Live free or Die!

Looking forward to it. Picked up my tix yesterday. Colonial holds about 1,000. From the box office and other spots I've talked too, the demand for tickets hasn't been that great so far.

Figure a couple hours pre-show should get you in.

See ya there.
